Curious how the 37s are working out as well. 35s seem like they require almost the same amount of modds and money to fit and 37s can be found cheaper. I'm curious how they are working out.

I love the 37's!
They do require a little extra work for fitment compared to 35's but for me it's well worth it. I have been doing a lot of wheeling in the snow this spring and the extra flotation and bigger footprint seem to keep me moving forward instead of downward. Lol
No reliability issues so far but I know the trucks limitations and try not to exceed them.
I have 4.88 gears with the factory 8" and E locker and it has held up well so far but I am changing the rear axle housing out for an 8.4" out of a sport model with an ARB air locker. The 8.4" is supposed to be 20% stronger than the 8" E locker. The axles, brakes and mounting points are all the same.

very good to know... /scratches chin...
The ring gear is the same diameter, why they call it an 8.4" I don't know. The strength comes from the pinion diameter being .200" larger and having a larger pinion bearing as well as being 30 spline versus 27 spline. The diff bearing caps are also bridged across the diff which helps prevent bearing movement and the ring gear from walking away from the pinion gear under load.

We were able to get another amazing accessory added last week.
FrontRunner Slimline2 roofrack!
We modified the dbl cab mounting brackets to work with our access cab and drilled the 4 necessary holes in the cab.
We are working with FrontRunner to offer this modified bracket for those who are wanting to finally add a roof rack to their access cab.
**update** not sure why but it is not allowing us to upload any photos currently - or attach them..
We will try to get these uploaded as soon as it allows us!

That should look great. I have a Slimline on my G-Wagen, and it is a nice quality (and lightweight) rack.

For someone using an RTT on these racks (which are pretty cool IMO). Are any of you also using the slip on annex/changing room too? If so, is there enough headroom?
Individual truck surely comes into play; suspension/lift/tires...
Personally, I've had my RTT at that 'mid' height before and even at 5'9" I had to stoop, plus the annex walls would billow in any winds.
Specifically, to the OP - All-Pro - your hoops are comprised of four bends. Was this an aesthetic choice to add two bends at the bottoms of the hoop legs? Or is there a engineering/design preference to the legs attaching to the rails vertically? "|" vs "/"
