You can try return the favor by getting Phil to send me an invoice for the Vagabond/Relentless bed rails

 

I have OME Nitrochargers for shocks with the 2888 heavy spring rate in the front and the OME Dakar 660lb leaf springs in the back. With all that weight on the truck I still think I've gotten around a 2 inch lift. Without a doubt, the weight is compressing some of it. At some point before driving back to Baltimore, i'll pull it all out and measure again.

 

Gotcha, that sounds like you could likely have some decent compression there. I'm honestly hoping by the time a lift goes in I will be heavy enough to compress it some and clear 7 ft

 

Can anyone tell me how much roof between the camper and the roof line of a 2009 DCLB there is?? I have a can rack I want to keep as long as the camper will clear it

 

@NYCO has posted several pictures of his full length cab rack that was cut down on a DCLB

 

FWIW, they just emailed me and asked that I show up WITHOUT anything on the roof because it helps with install and whatnot. So there’s that. Maybe the new campers have less clearance?

 

That’s been the standard disclaimer for at least a year. They don’t want to have to worry about any fitment issues during install so want you to show up with no possible sources of interference.

 

Makes sense. Thanks for the confirmation!

 

Spent our first camping trip in our Go Fast Camper. It's safe to say we're pretty happy with the purchase already. Much faster to get everything set up compared to setting up the RTT and annex just to have enough room for us, the kid, and the dog. Just a few pics of camp as well as how we kind of organized everything.

Camping counts as "temporary use", right?

What are you using for the bench in your bed?

 

Looks like the removable panels from the sleeping platform

 

What Hoarder23 said.

 

thats what I figured...can’t believe I never thought of doing that

 

I got the idea from one of the GFC videos where they did it

 

thats amazing.

 

Could you measure how much room you have between the decked system and the roof (under side of the tent)of the GFC

 

I have my traction boards mounted to the front bed rail...has anyone figured a fix to mount a waterport to the side bed rails?

 

Not sure if it’ll fit between the camper mounts, but they sell a mount on their website.

This led me their drop down bracket...thanks for this!
