    Is there stuff you can't see without an account? I googled their Instagram page and I'm not seeing anything new or a video.

    It was one of the stories. I think you can only see it through the app. I just checked and it is still posted.

    Thanks for the kind words!

    1) Yes, they are a keyed and lockable.
    2) Basically goes to the back of the front door if that makes sense. @wileydavis can provide some insight here.
    3) Very comparable to the long bed version. Probably within about 10-20 pounds.
    4) Glass windows/view hatches will be heavier, those numbers aren't completely quantified yet. Hinged sides have virtually no weight penalty. Fabric is about 40 pounds lighter.

    This thing leaves for Baja on Wednesday. Still have a few more pieces to make before heading out, the snow and -6 weather haven't helped, but the pre-production prototype is almost done.

    Looking great guys. One thing I’m super curious about as I drove along down the freeway this weekend again is how much noise it will make on the road. Something about my roof rack whistles like crazy. I’m wondering what noises this makes with all those extrusions on the frame.
    Cheers and Merry Christmas!

    So far I've only had the new prototype up to 70mph and it doesn't whistle at all. And that's with the radio off :)

    We will give you a deblurred image today, maybe even a quick video :alien:

    And for those of you not in the know, we are on instagram. (@GFC_USA) but we typically don't post anything there you guys don't see first.

    Thanks man!

    Carhartt is a requirement. Ross (middle) is being reprimanded for his lack of team spirit. Thanks man, and merry Christmas!

    Awesome!
    Can you maybe post some detailed pictures on how you attached the tent fabric to the upper and lower frame?
