    Little late to the party as usual. Nice build and trip reports.
    How's your CTEK working out? Mine is going strong after several years.
    I found this after searching for showers. I am thinking about doing a scepter shower instead of the Roadshower but I don't want to have to pump up after only using 1/4 to 1/2 of the water can.

    Great build! Just purchased a DCLB and hoping to get an ARE MX and build very similar to yours.

    Non-existent with the wind deflector installed. I ran it the first week or so without it installed and it was terrible.

    Relentless Fab Aluminium Tailgate Skin installed today.

    Happy to have a flat and solid surface. The cap is the perfect size to prevent the canopy hatch from rubbing the tailgate.

    I cleaned out the tailgate, adding some foam tape, touched up a bit of paint from rubbing and sprayed the inside of the tailgate with fluid film. I used the stock hardware and plan on keeping it bare. I may end up changing the hardware but I'm happy with it for now.

    Have a few things I need to get done with the truck before a camping trip next weekend. Basically de-winterizing the truck and some general maintenance. This includes bolting up the awning and putting curtains back in the canopy. I'll be keeping the Road Shower off for now till it warms up a bit more. Sliders will need a touch up but they will be getting rock blasted next weekend so I'll do it after.
