    Never! I'm going to build another one.

    So with this cap, since it's got the reinforced roof, the rails aren't necessary. You just drill straight through the roof. Because of that, anything I mount there is staying there permanently. I wasn't very happy with the unistrut rack, so I'm either gonna buy a prinsu, or make one.

    That is going to look good! At least you will put something up there!

    What was the cons on the unistrut one? I may make one for myself this winter and put it on top of my crossbars when needed. Just want to be sure I won't regret buying all the stuff and don't use it lol.

    Btw if you see a post from someone local who want to get rid of his oem roof rack I'd be interested! I'll make it fit on the access cab, it looks damn good!

    I'll keep my eyes peeled! As far as the cons, it just wasn't very rigid with the way it bolts together. The whole thing (when off the truck) could flex around. It didn't inspire a lot of confidence. The prinsu one I linked overall will cost the same (cheaper actually) than what I had into the unistrut rack.

    I fixed the nasty noise one of my idler pulleys was making after the last AOAA trip. Then I dropped in my new grille!

    Cleaned up the CO2 tank a bit. Scraped off all the old stickers with a razor, and sanded it down with some 80 grit paper. Once I figure out if I can get it filled instead of just exchanging, I'll go ahead and paint that bitch yellow.

    I'll grind first i guess, if I don't it splash and makes ugly welds. I already do ugly welds so I'll try to help myself haha
