    Nothing major. I fixed my leaky diff which was the biggest issue on my truck. Now just some odds & ends: Tuning my CB, mounting my maxxtrax, swapping hi-lift to 60". I might pick up some of those tusk holders to get my shovel up and out of the way.

    How is the ceiling height inside the back with the rack on? I just put up a soft top and want a rack but am debating on going inside or outside the soft top. Outside looks bad ass but leaves things exposed to the elements like shovels and axes, but I would be able to leave the softop on and have a rtt, not that I have one now :anonymous: but you know what I'm saying. I can't wait to see this thing in person :thumbsup:

    Watch putting a RTT outside the topper. Center of gravity goes up and if you wheel, that is not good

    big reason why i went with the custom rack...allowed me to keep my tent lower for the COG issue as well as wind resistance..

    went as low as we could go to fit the rotopax on the sides...that was the main measuring point..

    ceiling is around 30"ish? too low to fit the tires standing up at least :D
