    That sounds like V2 is either the exact same height or a smidge taller and you'll have no issues

    Pulling the camper sucks. It's big, awkward, no good place to grab it and the center of gravity is in a weird spot.

    Show up with pizza, a cold beverage, or just a good attitude and you'll be fine. The day before my install I emailed to ask about leaving the stuff in my bed in their yard for a bit while I took the truck to a car wash to clean the bed and over email I was told they didn't want to be accountable for my stuff and to just pull it out at the car wash. Mike told me to just stack it in the corner and gave me directions to the closest car wash.

    No issues here. They are tapered, if that's what you're asking. Any tapered lug nut should work, you don't need to use theirs.

    edit: i see what you mean, no they are not

    Unfortunately I am not sure on the timeframe yet. Im hoping in July. I should know more when I select my options/pay for my GFC and then they call me to schedule the install. @4x4Runner dropped both of your names for when I do make it out there. I have been meaning to meet Conner for a while now.

    July is good - assuming no closures due to forest fires then options for camping and trails are wide open.
    And GFC is like 2 miles from my place so if you need a driveway to hang in and get everything moved in and settled just let me know.

    I was going to ask them if I can use their parking lot, but yours might be better! Thank you.

    I am ordering up some parts for a DIY roof rack as we speak

    Let me know!
    We have some good places to wheel(ish) out by me. Figure on 1 day if you want to wheel.

    Also, if you’re not hoteling it let me know ahead of time. We have a camp ground in our neighborhood and/ or other options.
