I had originally hoped it would be lower in overall height. When I originally planned it out the shell was 4" shorter but we added the extra height in the design process. I am 6'4" and everyone convinced me that I would like the extra height inside. I had originally wanted no roof air...
Got a chance to visit the truck on Friday and have some updated and better photos to add.
