    Thanks, damn good product from you and Beachboy. Sorry, Beachboy, missed you the first time.... So now the question becomes (dramatic pause....) when will those fancy new mounts be done with and ready for the masses??? Get the freakin lead out and quit screwing around already!!!! ****laughs****

    Have you seen the 3D prints in the dedicated thread?

    We're close. The main test now is if we have clearance to tighten the bolts and if we need a sequence/instructions to install or tighten. The more motion and tightest package makes it a little more complex to reach the bolts.

    I bought my own 3D printer so I can do prototype much faster.

    Bad Ass. After I left my post above I saw the dedicated thread. Looking forward to seeing them in action and on my truck. Do you see a need for more than 4 mounts on a short bed? If so how would you get around the rise in the center on most toppers?

    I think 4 is enough for short bed

    Our mounts will allow height adjustment (using shims), small adjustments likely included with the kit, and longer ones available

    Yep.
    The 1/4 radius bars and step seal were excellent ideas :thumbsup:

    Looks great!

    What fractal length did you select for the 1/4 bars?

    Same length as the other cross bars.

    Not length, I meant fractional length.

    Printed a 1:1 version of the end (blank area for logo) in order to trial fit the adjustable wind fairing (adjustable 30 degrees and from top of sidebar down to below your lightbar).

    This rack is much more versatile than our previous one and much more versatile than anything you've seen on the market.

    I will post some more design comments in the dedicated thread.

    That is if you want a length that is not full inches. Like 47” + .5”. The 1”x1” quarter radius bars are the ones I got.
