    When you get yours installed, is there any chance you could measure the minimum distance from the cab window trim to the shell? My big concern with their flush mount is that it would put my RTT too close to the cab when paired with the 15" height version.

    will do, I dont think you have much room for overhang RTT forward for the lower height option of the XO skeleton.

    That's what I thought based on the photos of the flush mounts, but they implied that it would work (without giving any measurements when requested).

    That's fine. My timeline is looking like late 2025 or 2026 for changing my setup at this point, and swapping to a hard shell wedge of the same size and getting dual batteries running are the bigger priorities for me right now, anyway.

    I'm trying to be patient.. rocking the old setup until I get everything pieced together for this new setup.. plans on a 2nd Lifepo4 battery, solar panels, and new air up system using the apex design air hose reel and air down tool setups..

    I have found over the decades that the Milwaukee battery powered compressor (the 2848) is my favorite solution for size, simplicity, all-in price, and capability. I've run a York on the FJ40 (this is really the best but most modern engine bays can't accommodate it), ExtremeAire, CO2 bottle and many others in between.

    Cerakote is a durable powdercoat-like finish.

    its a durable powdercoat like finish textured, or matte usually.. usually used on pistol slides/accesories, or the main body of a rifle.

    Is the external-facing hardware metric Allen, Torx, or security Torx?

    Makes me wonder if they could do a folding, lockable rear MOLLE panel. Hrm.

    Correct. More for security than anything else.
