Turtle Getting a new Shell
« on: February 16, 2008, 09:40:46 PM »
The Turtle is over at Rock Hard Off Road getting a new shell.
They will be moving soon so RHO is getting new signage in return.













This is just the beginning of the front. It will continue up and over the roof, around the windshield and behind the seats. We are also eliminating the funky "rear seat" bar and working bars into the back somewhere. I'm simply letting Jamon have fun and work his magic. It will also be sort of a test bed for his (he has the same year 4Runner as mine).

Talk soon,

That looks sweet and I am looking forward to seeing it on the trail when it's done.

*Grins* I like how the trading of trades goes too...what do you think soft tissue manipulation and theraputic massage sessions would get my Jeep?  ;D

What else are you guys planning on doing to it? Did he say what his magic mojo was gonna be or is he just winging it?

No Truggy for the Turtle.. She's still a street driver and has to be for quite a while. Plus, she wouldn't be the same w/o a body. No matter how dented.
I can still put the doors and and drive her in cold conditions (the heat CRANKS) and (knock on wood) I have never had any issues with the law, driving her on the street.
Not sure what else Jamon may do after he gets past the seats and into the back. All I know is that the bed bar is coming out and we need to keep room for the spare tire.

I was speaking to Jamon about the fact that you guys had asked him for some info. He mentioned what he told Jeremy but said he didn't get anything from you.
His personal email is lockedtoy@yahoo.com, shoot him another email.

supposed to leave Friday PM, but now, with snow coming in, I'm trying to get on an earlier flight. Probably head out Friday AM

When I get out to the rocks out there, its usually with Vegas Valley 4 Wheelers.

CYA guys soon.
