A couple of points from my experience: I pinned the habitat at the front and not the rear. Doesn't seem to make that big of a deal in practice. It's rigidly attached at the lead edge of the box, just behind the cab. When negotiating twisty/rolly bits, the box will lean with the truck as the...

Not planning on the Overland show, just going to be in the SW neighborhood in that timeframe. Will PM you some details- not that there are many...

Congrats Keith! If you head to the NW, drop a line and if you're in the SW in Apr/May, let me know where. Would love to check out your rig.

Making progress, I am pretty pleased with it so far: The box corners are still raw glass. They will eventually end up getting faired out and shaped a little better, but for now they fill the purpose. I will also need to trim up the edges and massage one or two places, but overall I am...

Or at least a neighbor who is! I had a possible wiring/ground/short issue in the CTIS harness and I can tell you that this is one of the simplest and most effective things to do. If you have any issues with the CTIS, do this! With a dual reading air pressure gauge and 2 switches (1 is...

I have lockers from Bryce Wasielak. I don't think he's on the forum but I can PM you his cell number. I don't know if he's still doing them but he was very easy to work with if your schedule is flexible.

I give you the world's most complicated roof rack/mobile boathouse, or at least the skeleton's proof of concept- it works!: Boat loading cycle fully completed. Obviously, plenty of work still to do- put in a floor, skin it up, wire it up, etc... and I also have additional actuators to...

Wow!! That is a voracious thirst for knowledge! Not sure I'd have been that curious.

It will be skinned and used as the boathouse. I'd prefer to not have the boat out and exposed to 70 MPH road debris or 2 MPH tree branches. I am thinking of thin plywood, skinned with fiberglass and then faired in to smooth it out. Yes, that'll be some work, but I think that's the most...

Making progress (slowly):

For me, the prime objective was halving the drivetrain speed. That part made it a no-brainer for me.

A little grinding and blending and it's looking pretty decent. I am pleased with its symmetry and how I got the tubing to arc with the main features of the cab... so far, so good!

Got sidetracked with another project: need over cab storage for a large inflatable boat we picked up. Building a roof rack combined with windshield protection and aux light mount. It includes a roof mounted hoist for lifting the boat (or whatever). Boat: Rack base: Access ladder: Start...

Just sent you a PM.

Best bet would be to call Ryan directly. I want to say they were ~$1k for the pair shipped. Just saw the other post where the details I posted were incorrect. Will find the correct ones and edit them in.

Not OEM but has worked interchangeably on my rig for ~10k miles: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cab-airbag-shock-alternative-bentley-metal-fab.217528/

Pretty sure this is him: https://www.facebook.com/Bentleymetalwork/ Will PM you his (Ryan's) direct number. As an aside, I have logged ~5k miles since this install and remain very pleased with them. Work fantastically well and seamlessly with the rest of the OE system. No tire rubbing or...

I am committed to this path. The reason why is that I don't want seams. The glass will lay up without a corner seam to seal and then flex and leak later on. I know other methods have been used and work just fine, but this is the path I have chosen and am OK with it. It will be a bit of work...

Not trying to outsource it... Just know it's going to be a lot of work. Looking forward to having it done.

Been doing a lot of sanding and prep for glassing in the shower. Only real visible change is having the shower cubby built and installed: Hope to get along with that project starting next weekend. First a coat or two for sealing up the wood so it won't soak up from the glass, then glass and...
