Another update... wiring up the solar and ceiling lights, a flood for the driver's side, lockdown clamps, and the roof fully installed. Oh and the truck, ready for loading!

A few more shots - mounting the car last night and today. Still need to get the tent, kitchen, and a few other things done.

Had to pull the carpet in the surfboard compartment again... one of the attachment nuts pushed off the wall when I added the eyebolt. Oh and this setup is definitely a bit tight. Had to trim the truck umbilical cover, remove the camper-side umbilical door, and in general had a tough time getting the chains and hooks to attach at the base. Next camper will have to be a but narrower where it sits in the bed.

Also, this was really difficult to load. Def going to need to get some jacks.

That thing looks so cool and handy, looking forward to seeing more with some use. Good work.

Thanks Borison! Until I get the tent and kitchen done, it's really just an overbuilt surfboard carrier. Hoping to have the rest of it done within the month though. :)

really dig this concept, but I only have 1 question- is your hinged lid a small storage area with sleeping inside or is the hinged lid a built in RTT?
