    I have ordered my solar set up. I am hoping this is all I need. I plan to run my fridge, 4 LED pods, and interior camper LED strip light off of it. Will mount the panel to the front of my camper rack and have the battery in the bed under the toolbox.

    I also put my awning out to give it a good look over. Works great. Was nice and tight/sturdy even without the guy lines. No issues. My awning was done correctly (zipper at bottom) unlike some reviews have reported.

    Geotechnical Engineer Technician. I observe, document, measure, and test work on construction sites. Ensure contractors are following proper specifications set forth by the engineers. I test soils, aggregates, asphalt, and sometimes concrete to make sure they fall within the parameters set. Then give all the info to the engineers. Basically I get paid to play in the dirt. :)

    My solar panel came in today. The controller and stuff isn't in yet but I got the panel mounted. There is room for a second one right beside it in case I need more power. 5/5/20

    Weird question:

    You have a TRDOR. Where is your MTS Knob/Crawl Control switch? It thought that was standard in TRDORs?

    looks like an MT.

    actually looking at this pic that looks a bit high to be the clutch. do AT trucks have a pedal for the parking brake?

    Manual. The parking brake is a lever on center console. Thanks!

    Will figure out what all I want to do with the suspension after I get rest done. Planning on doing bumpers as well.

    Wow. Kind words. I got a vision I'm heading for. The idea is to make it convenient for my work and easy for camping. I often have big dirt jobs I get to run around on. Spend all day there, sometimes in the middle of no where. Doing this will allow me to be comfortable and have nice lunches and dinners while working. And I love camping. All I will have to do is take out a couple work items and throw my tent, sleeping bag, and some clothes and go.

    I am planning on a 3 week Midwest vacation in a year or so. Can't wait for that. Plan on primitive camping the whole time.

    Added a couple patches. A few years ago we did a civil war battlefield vacation. Was a fun trip and informative. Definitely worth it.

    Well I'm a utilitarian kind of guy, and your truck is exactly that. Not a mall crawler, but something that looks like it will take a beating and keep on truckin. The commercial top is killer. I'm building my topper and doing 4 doors, but it's basically the same as yours. Keep posting pics and I'm sub'd.

    I think the key is to pay the extra to get it color matched. I love it. So customizable!

    Yeah I just asked for a quote from the closest dealer.

    It's not gonna be cheap. What'd you pay for yours?

    Have to find the paperwork. In the neighborhood of 3.2k. Got carpet, toolbox left side, brake light, and extra support on rack. If I find the paperwork I will update you
