Thanks Bill and Don-
I like the idea of a rear slider- I do get some gas fumes too, especially when its hot, (should I be? the whole fuel system from tank to lines is new) That rear window would help-
I e-mailed Benzspring- we'll see what they say- As far as load goes- I cut a lot of oak firewood and would like to be able to load her up- I also haul gravel yearly for our dirt road/ drive. I know she's a 1/2 ton- but I'd like to be able to get the most out of her- which will probably also mean getting some better tires.

I like that patina too- the gold over green- you should see it when it rains, beautiful!
