    Sorry for my slow response...I didn't get a notification that you posted.

    I'd meet about halfway if it meant getting rid of this thing...

    PM me your number if you're still interested?

    Going rack this time! It was set up as a stealth camping build, I'd rather do more overland now. I'm in Moab a couple times a year and the stuff I always want to do is way out there

    Sorry for the side question but what cling wrap did you use for the privacy?

    Im looking to do my garage windows. And I don’t like how the privacy tint I’ve been looking at still allows visibility into my garage at night when the garage lights are on.

    Thank you.

    no worries, free bump haha!

    I used cling wrap from Amazon. Just search blackout cling wrap or similar. I think they were 12” 20’ or so.

    The blackouts took forever to make, haha. If it wasn’t for the million different shells out there I’d get them laser measured and then offer them for sale - I can’t be the only one who hates camper shell curtains

    I ran a Front Runner for a while before the shell, it was great. I have one of their trays on top of my shell now as well. Good system.
    Depends on how you want things set up really. If you want a cab-high rack and things up higher with perhaps more bed access or things more easily accessible on the rack, having it lower. The lower rack and a set of drawers would be a great setup. I prefer weight lower down whenever possible. But, lotsa options!

    Nice setup, looks great! Your truck in general looks awesome. I was thinking a cab-height bedrack since sometimes I haul bigger things and need more clearance. Maybe with pelican boxes for my gear? I think there's a company that makes pelican holders that attached to the bed rails.

    Do you like the snorkel? I love how they look, but I'm afraid of cutting holes in my sheet metal.

    Yeah that was a nice simple setup. I had a big Pelican chest under it for general stuff and used the Front Runner Wolf and Cub boxes up top. But there are tons of options these days, just depends on what you need and what you wanna spend.
    The snorkel is good for purpose, I had one on my Land Cruiser as well, so was less shy about drilling. I'm actually in the process of putting my truck back close to stock, so I'm gonna pull it and put a new fender on. Maybe I'll put the pre-drilled fender in the classifieds.

    I'm undecided but maybe let me know if you do...I'm thinking of having my truck re-painted anyways. I'd like to do the old style Toyota baby blue
