    Like I said earlier, I'm want to try to keep it if I can. The move probably won't happen until October, but I'll need to make decisions before that. IF things shake out like I hope then I'll be able to keep it and take it with me. I'm still open to offers and if I get an offer that I can't pass up then it might just make the decision easier.

    Painted the rack bars on the camper shell today. It's always been the plan because I didn't like the silver color with the gold. Now they are black and look WAY better! No pics yet but I'll try to snap 1 or 2 tomorrow.

    I'm trying not to, but at the moment just about everything is on the table to potentially be sold.

    Speaking of, I've been trying to figure out a good way to still use my bedrack at the same time with my topper. There just isn't an elegant solution so I might sell the bedrack if someone is interested.

    Yes. Not really that difficult. Just have to prepare yourself mentally for cutting a large hole in your fender.:D

    No just take your time. It comes with a template that lines up with the back edge of the fender to help you know where the holes should be.

    It's not a bad idea to order a set of clips for the fender flare. You have to remove the fender flare and inevitably you will break most (if not all) of the clips when you remove the flare.

    A few more questions, Hows the Trail Gear bumper holding up as far as rocks go, I would really like to go plate but the cost of the Trail Gear is about half that, and have you mounted a winch yet?

    It's holding up fine. Actually a pretty strong bumper for being a fraction the weight of a plate bumper. No winch on mine yet.

    Okay, Im probably going to go that route hopefully by the end of the summer, does it seem to be plenty strong for a winch?

    It'll be just fine with a winch.

    Took the truck out camping over the weekend. First real camping trip with the loaded trailer. (Trailer usually gets pulled with the Cruiser). Worked out awesome! 5 people in the truck, bed loaded with gear, trailer loaded with gear and RTT setup bombing down desert roads at 60+mph is a hoot.

    I have a few pics from our campsite I'll try to post later tonight.
