Planning on starting after the rain stops.. maybe around 11?

 

Done

 

that looks good

 

Well shit, i'm just getting out of bed.

 

@HomerTaco how thick are the stock bed rail caps? 3/4" ?

 

Yeah, that’s about right.

 

More parts acquired

 

Found out my new camper wont fit with these. Ill remove and keep them until after i get the camper to re-asses. Great

 

Is the V2 that much shorter?

 

Someone sent me these. Stock rail caps, shark fin, 2nd gen.

 

See if you can get them to take this picture to compare. Top of rail to underside of platform is about 22.75” the angle makes it a bit difficult to get a good measurement


That shark fin is more than twice as tall as your satellite antenna, and their bed rails may be compressed already. I’ve got more than an inch to spare and with a bigger surface area a hit would not be as big a deal.

 

Im not worried about the antenna, but the roof part. Going to play it safe, and if i need to swap back after i get back from Montana, i will.

I also requested that measurement from the guy i was talking to

 

He said its exactly 23"
