Thanks for all the kind words.
Brand new 200 from hiperformer in spokane wa. Cant say it was the smoothest install ( I am brand new to this). I am ironing out some bugs. Getting there slowly but surely.

new seats
paint and install doghouse

new wheels and tires
rhino line the floor

new window channels, and seals
