    Looking forward to the progress!!

    With the set up with the RTT and awning do you have bed stiffeners? And is that a Wilco tire swing? Sorry if you stated it already and I overlooked it.

    No worries.

    I am not running stiffeners. I’ve read both sides of the story and chose not to run them for now.

    It’s the Rigd ultra swing with camera relocate.

    Thanks just looked at the Rigd. And I think I'm going to do that over the Wilco.

    Awesome build coming together! Love the cap.

    For power to the dash plate I chose to tap into lower cig lighter and theres just enough room for a blue sea dual usb next to dash center speaker only right here, left or right.

    FWIW I hid a power outlet underneath the center speaker grate on the dash, and just have to pop the grate off to plug or unplug anything. Its insanely convenient :thumbsup:

    Ok cool. I live in Victor, ID. Would have liked to check out your truck. You built a killer truck. Very jealous if your ADS suspension. Been looking hard at a set.

    I used plumbers tape as a strap to hold the USB outlet.

    Local shop (Altitude Industries, Denver area hence the watermark) did me a favor and made this super simple rack system and swapped out better storage boxes for me.

    Going in tomorrow for a few days for an overhaul of the wiring. It's time to hire a pro it is now way out of my scope with all the lighting and accessories.

    I think I saw your truck on Juniper Overlands IG. What did you get done? And how was your experience with them?

    FYI they are having an open house on the 28th that is how I met them the first time last year.

    I like it. Clean install, functional, no rust. Their lead time is a bit long but otherwise no complaints.

    That being said, I may sell it after the season. I’m going to 37’s so will go to a full bumper.
