Nice! What was your order date?

What order number are you?
Congrats!

 

117

 

NICE!! congrats.

 

I can't wait! I ordered end of Nov 2019...but I'm order 194. That's a lot of orders between your order in March and mine in November 2019!
Good for Vagabond!

 

It's cool to see how everyone is happy for each other when progress is made on orders. It's easy to get caught up in the "instant gratification" of Amazon, and internet purchases in general. Makes me happy to see that people can still be genuinely happy for others.

 

Pretty sure its bc of shows like Expo, Base Camp (shameless plug ) etc during the summer months that sold a bunch of campers

 

I’m #157 and last time I spoke to Phil he said it would roll out “July or August.” If they’ve done 120 in two years (6 per month) I don’t see how they can do 38 in 2 1/2 months (15 per month), let alone by “July.” Kind of frustrating.

 

I’m 152 and I added a 90 day (give or take) “Corona Factor” that they were stuck with a full factory of inventory that they couldn’t deliver and the delays made more sense to me.
November is a fair spot to adjust our expectations to.

Trust me, my girlfriend has known frustration (expectation?) from the time we visited Benicia almost a year ago. I’m right alongside you with this experience.

 

HEIGHT QUESTION!



ok, I've been searching for a while this morning and haven't quite found the measurements I'm looking for, so I'll ask those of you in the know...

I'm trying to estimate what my height will be both with the lid closed, and deployed. To do this, I'd like to know the height from bedside caps to top of Drifter (both closed and opened).
I'm told the fan adds ~2.5", but is that the overall height of the wind deflector too?
For the lid-opened measurement, I'd need to know from someone with a longbed; I'm sure others will be interested in this measurement on the shortbed model too, so post up what you've got.

The weight of my build options will be roughly the same as my current weight, so I will be able to figure the rest out on my own.

Thanks in advance.

 

FYI - The lids are the same between the long and short beds, so the overall opened wedge height will be the same.

 

Here you go (+/- 1/4”) I am curious to know why the open height is important?

 

Nice! I was gonna do that today for him if someone didn't get there first...

 

Thanks!!!

Open height added to my bedside height will tell me the minimum ceiling height for opening inside a shop.

 

Absolutely! Let me know when you're headed out again.

 

Anyone have a weight on the slightly larger 00-06 Tundra model by chance?

 

Got a drifter for both of my Taco’s. Some will say it’s photoshopped On another note it’s been almost a year since I’ve ordered mine. Can’t wait til the day I get the email that it’s in production lol!

 

high fives everyone... high fives.

Not even going to look at what order number they are on. Single ply for a while.
