    @Juforrest and @Fox2011PM did you guys build/install the racks with the camper on the truck?

    @Fox2011PM, did you do the welding inside the camper?

    Yes, shell was in place. The only part I welded was the base. I wanted to be able to remove super easy for doing random house projects.

    Nope, welded the front and rear portions outside the shell. My horizontal side pieces in front of the windows holding my molle panels are bolted on with some L brackets. I wanted them removable in case I wanted to remove the entire setup

    @hoverlover if you look closely you can see how I bolted the horizontal pieces for ease of removal

    I think I'll be doing the same. A combination of welding and bolts so I can remove it I need to.

    I'm going to be stalking in camper racks quite a bit for the next couple weeks. I haven't had time to check out your build yet, where did you get the MOLLE panels?

    I got them from Greyman Tactical, they have several sizes along with tons of gear. Pricey, but outstanding quality and durability. Mainly used in military and LE arenas. But luckily they are available for public sale. I believe mine are 27.5" X 15"

    Hell, if it's in front of me and it's alcohol I'm not picky.

    Nice! And thanks for the dimensions as well.

    I'll remember that one for sure!

    The pessimist see the glass half empty. The optimist sees it half full.

    They're both fools; it's beer!
