    Thanks guys..

    Hey James,
    Sorry but we had to pull the National Luna out of it's happy new home in your rig
    It was fun to hang out with the shop guys and actually get to do some real work this time.

    At the end of the pass we gathered at the rig and around went a box of some great cigars (from an undisclosed location) and some heartfelt thanks on my part for all the hard work everyone did on this rig.

    We will have to return to Fresno post-SEMA for some final button ups. But considering we started 2wks behind schedule plus extra time for the mobility install I am sure happy.

    Today I get to finish the graphics and then Sunday to SEMA.

    Posting from my phone so no pics...
    Huge thanks to Chris-peasbody? from this forum for his help yeasterday & today.
    Still some detail work needed but we are pretty much sema ready.

    Took it for a test drive and got a hook and bug thumbs up from an ambulance

    It will be great to get someone behind the wheel of this beast and let them see what the can do and how they can enjoy the backcountry.

    Happy halloween everyone!

    Lance it was great to meet you on Friday! I had to get over there and see you and your rig. It is looking awesome and the facilities at SMB are amazing. Also it was great to meet Alan too, now I know who is driving that amazing red 4x4 van around town! Sportsmobile West is a hidden treasure that 90% of us here in Fresno have never visited! (Maybe not so hidden in that big building right on the 99) What amazing rig's. I really enjoyed your enthusiasm and hope one day to see you out there on a trail. Enjoy SEMA this week. Now to hit the Lotto so I can get a SMB before they stop selling the big Fords..........

    Default The WAVE rocks

    Having seen the WAVE the past couple of days I must say that it is a awsome build. It is truley well thought out and will be an excellent platform for adventures. I'm sure that Lance will get into the details but pretty much everything has been thought of for this build.

    I don't think it could have turned out better. Looking forward to Baja. Have you found a Vet to ride with you?
