They are holding up nicely and I am really happy with them. I see no wear or tear on them at all and they stay in place with no rattling. I can keep my "non-perishable" miscellaneous tools, recovery gear and other extra items in my rig and organized. A bonus is that by having the misc stuff in the rig makes loading for a run or unloading afterwards a lot less work. I'd definitely recommend them should someone be looking at getting them. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're running the same bags, totally agree with you. They are a great use of wasted space 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was getting curious as I'm looking to maybe re-do my organizational stuff. Somehow I keep accumulating more and more items and I'm out of good places to stash it all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shellback91 1,194 Posted May 11 Betty Lou needed a good cleaning inside and and out after the last few years of playing in the dust and mud. I found Summit Mobile Detailing, who are based in Surprise, and decided to go with them. It's a husband and wife team that operate the business, I am not sure of their complete service area unfortunately. They are super friendly and have good rates, they even offer a veteran's discount which I wound up giving back in a tip. They offer all the usual detailing services that one can think of. I am in the 4th year of a 6 year ceramic coating so all she needed was a good wash, no buffing etc.. They managed to clean all the dirt and dust out of all the crevices inside which made me happy. I'm old, fat and not as bendy as I used to be so I often miss those areas. I may want to do something about all the pinstripes at some point but not anytime soon. They are not visible when looking straight on, just at angles. I would have to justify in my mind spending money to do that knowing I would eventually replace them. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shellback91 1,194 Posted May 13 My rig got a name tag. I am not quite sure how I feel about the pin up girl on the ends yet. It came out crisp and legible so I am not quite sure what's bugging me about it but she aint going anywhere for now. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theksmith 2,784 Posted May 13 (edited) you should change the pin-up girl to be about 2 ft tall and right on top center of the hood! Edited May 13 by theksmith 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
