    If you know any welders, talk to them before purchasing a pre-fab rack. Not knocking the kit, have only seen pics. But $2k buys a lot of weekend weldin' and bendin' and beerz. When the time comes, I'll fab my own. I purchased a little welder and have been practicing "gluing metal." It's...

    Most folks incorporate some form of brush guard. And often run rails along the top of the habitat.

    As to the height inside the cargo cover, I actually like to raise mine a few inches by adding a collar to the base of each pole. I don't have the spec sheet handy, but I want to say that it's about 5'3". But mine sits a bit taller.

    That last one is one of my favorites. He can drive out from under the camper (he also runs the truck as a snow plow). Word of warning with RV campers/trailers. They are NOT make for off road. Modern RV's are quite literally held together with staples. And they don't overland in one piece...

    LED Light bar location

    I've not run lights up top yet, but test for windshield glare in the cab before you mount. On many vehicles, illumination from above combined with the windshield angle can blind you. If you go high (be it on just the cab or on a brush guard) allow room for a shield to be mounted under the...
