    RCI bed rack, I like the design and low profile to make the tent match up with my roof rack and what I'll be putting on it. My only complaint is I lost out on about 150$ buying this rack a few days before they had a black friday sale, which I would have definitely waited for:

    I went back and forth about a million times trying to figure out what tent and what size... In the end I made the best choice with this CVT Ranier Extended Summit... I wasn't sure if I wanted it to span thew full bed or leave some space in the back because of the access cab long bed. I like how it turned out:

    My Frontrunner rack came with the rear member machined wrong so the corner piece would not install, the sent me out a new runner, but then it was too long.. They sent me the proper one I think but I had to head back overseas. I'll fit it when I get back and see:

    My fix for the shark fin was to reverse it and carve out about 2-3 inches forward in the roof so it could mount a little forward (Also long replacement piece pictured):

    After trip is over:

    ARB Fridge(Aready in there just no pics)
    Vair OnBoard air
    BP-51
    Water tank with pump/heater/plumbing
    SR2 40" or Baja Designs OnX6 Dual control
    Rock lights
    Under tent lighting in bed
    Diffused lighting for camp area
    Bed Slide of some sort
    Dual Battery with controller
    Power Control Switches(switch pros or I might build my own)
    Duratracs or KO2's(3500 Mile factory tires up for sale in the central TX area)
    Some armor(haven't decided how much initially, offroad smarter not harder!)

    What happened to the rear (back-end) part of your roof of your truck? --looks like it has been through a "war"?

    Was trying to see what you were talking about, but I think I see it.. those clouds reflecting make it look pretty tattered.. but it's still brand new looking..

    its the picture with the F150 in the background. At first glance (and even second look) makes it look like the roof is all dented ? Glad for you it is NOT!
