    I was looking at those but wanted some for up top that wouldn't be bulky so I ordered these to try. I cut off the plugs and will wire them inline. I've started the harness on one side and will update when I'm done.

    Thanks! A quality build for sure, GLWS. Extruded aluminum and fasteners add up real fast and also the HDPE, plus the craftsmanship and labor involved.
    A nice turn key system “shelf” for someone.

    What do you guys do for weatherproofing? I live in the PNW and noticed that I'm still getting some water in the truck bed. I have a V1 and it seems to be coming from just below the rail on the back of the bed near the cab. I went through some heavy mud and realized I also got some mud in from the driver side bed. Not really sure how either, I just redid the seals. Any tips on how to improve this would be appreciated!

    Seems to be common for water to slip into the bed under a cap in the two front corners near the cab. I think it's slipping in along the seam where the side walls meet the head wall.

    Does anyone know if the GFC awning mounts work on the back of the camper? If mounted to the lower extrusion, will they clear the lip on the upper extrusion? See pic for details.

    Edit, they do fit there. GFC answered my email in minutes.

    Just got a 2023 TRD OR and put a GFC on it. Originally was thinking stock suspension would be enough but that might not be smart. What is a recommended upgrade from stock?

    Deaver u402 and depending on how much weight you're running other than the gfc will determine the stage you will want.

    Edit:
    Sorry just realized you said stock suspension. The u402 is for a 2" lift. I'd probably call deaver and see what they recommend for stock height with you're added weight.

    Does it make sense to get a lift with the GFC? Not planning on putting much more into it other than the Gfc

    This would be my first mod ever on the truck. What specific Kings shocks do I need?
