    Nice, that's freaking awesome that you made it work with the Softtopper. How does the bed rack mount to the bed rails without interfering with the soft topper rails?

    We built a custom rack that has a 1/4 inch steel angle iron for the bed side runners. The soft topper rail sits on top of it. Then a combination of round and square tubing for the interior structure. The round tube mounts below the axis where the soft topper pivots but comes up after it clears. And there’s plenty of room for it to move. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a tight fit. But it fits

    Finally tossed my stock skids. I’m very happy with my new ones. I was worried it wouldn’t clear the LCA skids but it does. I’m thinking about getting my skids powder coated a lighter gray/cement color but I need to google some examples. Anyways. Just checking in :oldglory:

    Finally swapped my gears to 4.88s!! I’m loving it.

    I’m also building a rear swing out bumper soon so hopefully after this virus goes away I’ll make more progress.
