    Wouldn't that just snap their necks? I feel like this would be much more effective instead of a regular collar.

    What you see is a test fitting with the dogs. Didn't mention that before. They have harnesses that connect to the leash.

    Thanks for the constructive feedback. Yeah, that's sarcasm.

    Didn't cut the bolts from my roof rack on my ARE camper shell. Just grabbed some metal from home depot and made myself a nice rod holder. I originally had the rod holders velcro'd on the roof, well about a week later the weight of the rods started pulling down the carpet. So went this route. So much happier. Have about 40 bucks total including the rod holder.http://[URL=http://s1229.photobucket.com/user/LSXRay87/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/616F9617-D24F-45A7-9B4F-4627488F71A6_zps9ioms9fr.jpg.html][ATTACH=full]1858467[/ATTACH]

    I had the lower valence dipped and it lasted over two years. Before I sold it I just pair washed it off. Dipped the rims on my new truck. They peel a bit at the bead when I brush the wheels so I just spray them again

    Ever concerned about extinguisher heating up from sunlight and blowing up? I did the same mod but I got a tonneau cover but still skeptical.

    I am digging the carpet bedding. Did you just cut up some carpet and glue it down?

    Never really concerned I guess... :notsure: The carpet was just an indoor / outdoor carpet I got on clearance from Walmart for $10. Traced out the outline from my bed mat and just laid it on top. I take it out occasionally to scrub it and dry it, then back in.

    Yeah that is a good idea. They never lay flat after opening and closing. What is a good way to remove them?
