    The Alu-cab seems like a happy medium middle price vs the smartcap evo and the RSI cap. Also I figure when it gets weighted down with all the gear it will sit true, also if I ever need to tow anything with it, the extra lift will also compensate. Of course this is all my thinking atm. lol...

    I've heard good things about this company. I have not used them or have an affiliation with them. They are in Portland. Not too far from Norwich.

    Good morning CT.

    Ordered the grommet for the floor and the heat shield yesterday. They should be delivered today. Let's hope I ordered the correct grommet.

    Morning all. Looking like a gorgeous day. Haircut. Ice cream date with the Mrs for lunch then who know what. Might do some more wiring/tidying up. Will also keep digging for the retaining wall. I will say digging in CT in general sucks, there is so much fckin rock its obscene.
