Those seat covers were covered earlier in the thread... They use the Molly system. Speaking of, I finally actually attached some of the pouches by weaving them as WVvan pointed out in his post. It's amazing how firm they are when properly attached.

As a side note, I was laid off yesterday. On the up side, I'll have more time to work on the van. On the downside, I won't have as much cash on hand.
Sorry to hear it Big Z. Try not to let it get you down. Been there, done that.

Re: Polar Bear 1

Rushed through the final work on the van, got it packed up, and hit the road. We're at a camp member's house in Reno getting ready to land on the Playa Tuesday morning.



It was a long drive. Polar Bear did really well... fell down to 40mph on some of the hard climbs. Gas mileage looks to be in the 10mpg range. Unfortunately, there was a really strong head wind most of the way. We did happen to see other Burners on the road while traveling.



I caught a pretty neat shot on the salt flats near Wendover.

Re: Polar Bear 1

How many hula hoops do you have in there? 3, 4?

Have a great time. Take pictures. Let us see some.

Re: Polar Bear 1

In order of importance.
1.) Have fun.
2.) Take a bunch of pictures for those of us who are unable to attend.
3.) Repeat 1. and 2.
