Atl-atl's Alaskan 650si documentation thread!!

Took the camper off the truck for the first time. Its been a couple months already and Ive been driving the truck a lot so I wanted to make sure the camper is holding up well and didnt have any "issues" from the original install. I fabbed up some brackets to mount my Rieco corner jacks. They seem to work well so Im going to send them off to powdercoat with the roof rack Ive also been working on. Hopefully Ill have that done this week so I can get my starlink and traction boards mounted to the roof.

Built the brackets wide enough so that all I have to do is pop the spare off the Rig'd swing and I can pull the truck out leaving the Rig'd assembly in place.

For now I have a Brophy cable jack supporting the front wall of the camper to add stability. Im hoping Ill be able to raise it high enough to scoot my FWC resto project underneath when I need more space to work in the shop. Ran out of time today but I think the jacks will go high enough. Also thinking about fabbing up some quick release jobbers to connect the four corner jacks for some additional stability. Or building a cart for it but that will probably need to be steel because this thing is much beefier than the vintage FWCs that my current cart was built for.
