    Correct except mine are hard panels. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BFCNFRM

    The sticky ones are nice, but the hotter they get, the less power they produce, at least thats what i've read. So by having the hard panels elevated, air can flow beneath them. It'll also be over the cab, which will pretty much block the sun from heating up the roof, so that should keep it a bit cooler in there, so less draw from the fridge.

    Edit: Temps were 140 degrees inside my topper yesterday... gonna find some of that shade fabric and just temporarily put it up there next week when the temps are near the same and check the temperatures to see how it helps.

    Sounds like a great concept and useful at the same time. It doesn't ruin the panel when it snows or rains?

    I think they are pretty well built for the most part. I'm somewhat worried about hail, and low hanging branches. But theres only one way to test them out.

    So some of you educated me about aftermarket bumpers so I was looking around....If I change out the shocks and put OME 888 coils, would I need to change UCA as well?

    You betcha. Hoping to be able to scuff them up and paint the silver trim to black on Saturday, and mount them Sunday. Going to probably make a new entry port through the rear of the cab for the solar wire and the Ham antenna.

    Does it cost more than what the OME set up runs? I am hoping that I win some gift card during Sat event :fingerscrossed:
