    Hey Josh I was wondering if you could measure how high off the cab your prinsu is. I'm really only needing the height at the back of the cab to the top of the rack. You could probably measure from the third brake light as a reference.

    I'm considering getting one of these in the future and I want to see how tall it would be compared to an ARE MX topper.

    Thanks!

    I just got home from Expo East so I'll go and snag that in a second. If I don't post up here again tonight with them just remind me around noon tomorrow and I can grab them at lunch :thumbsup:

    That's a lot lower than I thought. I'm guessing it's lower than my ARE MX topper. I'll measure it once I get it back on the truck.

    So I got the topper back on and took some measurements. I used a 6ft piece of super straight aluminum channel as a straight edge off the topper. I tried to get it parallel to the cab roof. From the 3rd brake light it was around 3.5", to the roof it was 3".

    Well not much has happened but I got in a Weathertech GB so I've got those. Fixed the screw in my tire for free. Discount Tire FTW!

    Went to Expo East had a great time, met some cool guys. Here are some pics my buddy got
































    Damn window switch died on me again so I ordered a new one but it magically fixed on the way to work today :frusty:

    Hosting a mod day tomorrow so hopefully I'll get some pics. Got some plans for this thing but need funds and for it to be released :spy:

    I saw a ton of those rigs headed back west the week when it ended. Pretty nuts.

    There were a lot of cool rigs, a lot of "but why would you need that", and a lot of "I would never spend $xx,xxx.00 on that"

    More of the people attending had rigs that were cooler

    How much caster are you running?

    Finally had all my clearance issues resolved. Then my new UCAs screwed up. Trying to get everything dialed back in.

    I saw that, honestly I’m not sure. I bet if I got it dialed in like you were talking about at 3.5* it wouldn’t rub

    How are you liking your upgrade, ive started to do research on this and want to capitalize on Black Friday deals if I can to make this more affordable, but Im stuck between this(199mm) setup or stepping up to the 231mm WL setup. Do you like yours? wish ya had a little more?

    Love em! Glad I did the upgrade, kinda a no brainer once you start to add the weight with armor etc. Damn things stop on a dime! Only issue is the EBC pads are a little dusty. But I'd go the 231mm since they are bigger. I've got the 231 setup as well

    Awesome! 231mm it is, now just need to source parts.

    I have the 231s. If you're upgrading, might as well get the big boys

    Yeah I'm definitely going with them. I'm bummed because I was interested in the LCE brake kit, but that's the 199mm. What did you run? Napa as well?

    I was going to go with them too but saw it was 199 so I went with Napa because they were coated in black and not red. Red wouldn't go with my color scheme :rolleyes:
