Goats.
Eating your truck . Bahhhhh. I would have loved to see that.

Why couldn't you just repair the holes ? The design was superior and would have saved you the effort of creating this new ( inferior ) design.

As it is right now, you could easily just fill in those gaps. In fact, you posted an image earlier that looked as if you were actually doing so ( there were spars in place, but they were uncovered. )
