    I’ve got a set from the first batch sitting in the corner of my garage. Barely removed some of the packaging just to take a peek at the powder coating.

    Still haven’t picked up a shell and I’m now debating whether I’ll get one at all. My set may be up for sale before long. I think there’s another batch becoming available around the corner though.

    Heck yeah I am.

    We are 95% there with universal mounts (AC, DB, Shell and bed low/raised). So someone can convert bed rack to shell rack.

    As soon as the mounts are tested we can finalize design. I am leaning towards a setup where the side plates would be the same (with various lengths) and have an attached front piece that would conform to different vehicles (correct windshield angle) plus precisely adjustable so the wind deflector actually sits 100% against the windshield creating no air gap.

    Edit the guy I'm working with has an AC so he'll be able to be the guinea pig ;)

    anyone has the approx distance between the two adjacent factory mounting holes in the cab gutters?

    I need to know how wide to make the base plate

    oh and the width of the gutter too, if possible

    You want the distance between the mounting holes on just one side correct? There are three sets of holes on each side. I could measure my prinsu later to give you specs for where the mounting feet are if you want those numbers.

    The holes go 2-1-2 on each side

    I just need the distance between the "2", it's something like 2 inches from pictures.
