Nice!
Hmmm, blue buckets and a fog light bezel and switch. Bolt the buckets, along with the base I have, in Big Blue and add that console. Right color, more comfort and convenience for long trips..... Add the instrument bezel and fog light switch/harness, and I'd have something to feed the driving lights I'm planning on installing.

I wish I had the time! But, as things are panning out, what my son really wants to do is overlanding, and in my opinion Big Blue is the absolute right truck for that, much more so than a Bronco. That's because of BB's GVWR of 8600 lbs.
An article in the Nov/Dec issue of TREAD entitled Get The Perfect Balance says: ...the biggest problem with most overland vehicles is that they're massively overweight. A Toyota Tacoma has a carrying capacity of a little under 1 ,200 pounds, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is even worse at 1 ,000 pounds-meanlng the frame, brakes, transmission and engine aren't officially tested or designed to work above that load. Most vehicles I see blow by that before they put their butt in the seat, fuel in the tank, or load up any of their camping gear.Somehow, I don't see that as being a problem with Big Blue.
