    You say UTE, I say pickup.
    You say guard, I say bumper.
    What ever it's called we both call it fun
    Now then, the rain has stopped and so I got my ladder out to chop the top, of my pickute

    I spent many years trying to decide where I would go with the Trol and at last I'm marking out
    As they say, the first cut is the deepest , so time to chase the white line !!!

    I welded in a brace just incase things moved .

    9" grinder time, up a ladder , in the mud Nothing to see here
    Then boom , D posts gone .

    I'll be using this bit later, best put it safe

    Then back up me ladder and repeat

    Quite like it as it is but there's no room for the seat like this , so now I need to add the rear end again.

    First go at fitting it.

    Then many fiddly cuts later the gutter is pretty close

    More wallop stick action and getting closer again

    I've got to the point of reasonable roof line but the gutters are slightly narrower from the rear end.

    Tomorrow's problem solution session will be fixing this width issue !
