    Thank you! And no I didn’t- the bracket is an old BAMF mount but I don’t know if they make them or not. I know caliraised and other companies makes the brackets now however!

    Sold the camper shell and got an Uptop Overland bedrack. Lots of wiring and lights to finish up before the iKamper goes on in a few weeks

    Gotcha, kinda doing the opposite. I just sold my Tepui and I’m planning on going cAnopy plus gfc superlite. But the superlite is a whiles out so it looks like I’ll be doing some ground camping.

    Yeah I wanted a GFC v2, but I just can’t afford the wait right now. My fault on the timing of everything

    Same thing I've done over the last few months, except that I went with a BAMF rack for my Tepui tent. Truck looks awesome.

    Been stuck in quarantine, but last weekend I was able to get the iKamper mini on the bed rack. Loving it so far!

    Here’s my plans for the next few weeks to keep me straight:

    -wire up bed and chase lights
    -wrap roof of truck in matte black
    -potentially add black Ivan stripes on bedside?
    -move maxtraxs to bedrack and mount another Plano case on the Prinsu
    -mount waterport in bed
    -install Weboost
    -oil change and tire rotation
    -install R4T body cab mount relocate and potentially Archive Hammer Hangers. You guys up for a challenge? @YamaDirtrider @Red Baron

    I’m just gonna say this...
    I’ll bring the other high powered grinder.
    So we can have 2 grinders and the plasma cutter going at the same time.

    I'm in. Might as well clean out the leaf pack and put in some fabric- I'm sick of the Dakar squeak. Nonetheless, hopefully I can get a hammer set before I set off. Tomorrow I'll call and see the current lead times.

    I’d guess you can get bamf hd hangers sooner than archive.

    Finally got to use the new camper this weekend. Slowly getting everything dialed in between storage, cooking, and sleeping set ups!

    What awning are you using and what brackets did you use to attach it to your bedrack? I'm looking at doing a similar set up.

    It’s a CVT 55in awning that I got from @YamaDirtrider but I just used some 10x10 inch L brackets from Home Depot to mount everything up with some carriage bolts. Here are some photos

    I have round tubes on my bed rack, the l-brackets won't work for me. I will definitely look into that awning though. Want to wait till I get my tent mounted in a week or 2 and then see what kind of room I do/don't have for some mounts. Thanks again, looks great.
