Sorry to hear about this Troy. Let me know if I can do anything for you.

Re: The Colorado BS thread

Thanks for the thoughts and well wishes guys!

Dad is doing great! He's really made awesome progress having been up outta bed taking short walks and spending time in a comfy chair. Pain management and controlling his blood sugar have been the bigger challenges.

Today we're looking to see him eat more and hope the Dr. moves him from ICU to a "normal" room. :thumbup:

Hey, where would I get badge lettering? I think I just figured out a name for my Jeep.

I had some made up using "Helvetica Black" font.

Please elaborate. Where did you go to have them made/printed?

I'm excited!! arty:

This is my first car that's ever had a name.

Many years ago.... can't remember the on-line vinyl company I used. Sorry. Might still have the invoice in my file for "Heep II" which is the rig I had the vinyl made for. Lots of places can make the stuff if you just give them the dimensions for height, length.

Were they just like a 3M decal like MX graphics or were they plastic or metal?

Vinyl graphics. If you're looking for plastic 3D letters like the jeep ones on the old header panels, Pep Boys sells blingy chrome letter kits. They could be etched and painted but they won't be in the Jeep letter style.

Bummer.. I suppose making my own with a dremmel and some 1/16" aluminum stock isn't out of the question at this point then. Just print out whatever text I want in size "x" and use them as templates. That's a good little project for a crappy day.

Re: The Colorado BS thread

Re: The Colorado BS thread

I passed my CDL Skills test today and managed to get into the DMV a get my license done. I took the doubles/tripples endorsment test too and aced it so I've got that endorsment on my license. I might try to sneak over there this week and get the tankers endorsment added too. I'm not going for HAZMAT though, its too expensive and if a company wants me to do it they can freaking pay for it. Lots of dairy companies up here to haul tankers for though.
