In the email or invoice, it did say the expectation was still 12-14 weeks out after payment. If they meet that date, then it would be a little over a year from the order to delivery.

Looking to purchase someone's build slot and will pay a premium. I just purchased a sweet Gladiator and would love to get it rigged this summer! Hoping someone out there doesn't need their slot for some reason.

Couple things:
1. The Front Runner wind fairing seems to be working well generally. There is a drawback though, namely that because it's technically connected to the bed of the truck, when the vehicle flexes, it causes the rubber section of the fairing to rub on the roof. I only really notice this when it's wet in the dew and I'm driving slowly and then it squeaks quite a bit. Not a showstopper for me, but slightly annoying.
1. Front runner load bars are a great and cheaper alternative to something like a Yakima setup. I priced out the Yakima setup with either aero or HD bars and it ends up being between $600-700 before tax. These Front runner bars cost $245. I asked them about the off-road weight limit and they said 220lbs. Less than the HD bars but more than the aero.
The Super Pacific is 56.5" wide at the top and these bars are 58" so there's a small overhang. I'll be mounting them on the truck this weekend and can post photos but the feet will keep a pretty low profile as they are only a couple of inches tall.
I'll just be mounting maxtrax and surfboards up there.

Oh by the way, the Front Runner cross bars look good and are pretty low profile. I will say, what a pain in the ******** to mount! The small area to get your fingers and a wrench in there, and the order of assembly makes mounting so annoying! I definitely had a fleeting thought that spending the extra $500 might have been worth it.
On a side note, I'm slowly putting together a platform to hold some gear, act as benches, and for the kids to sleep on. Using 10-series extrusions from Tnutz. Photo is just of the narrower driver's side section. The part closest to the tailgate will be sized to fit 4 Step 22 Stingray bags.
Passenger side (not yet shown) will sit behind and flush (width- and height-wise) with a dome
tic fridge on a slide.

That's sweet. What will you use for shelving?

Sorry was out of pocket all weekend at a mountain bike race.
The plan is to use 1/4" plywood for the inner shelves, slotted inside the extrusion gaps. That way the portion of the extrusion above will act as a bit of a retainer for the bags. The piece of ply will be pretty small so I doubt I'll see any flex since the weight will be relatively light.
Then on top I plan to use a 1/2" plywood, probably with some laminate but I'm trying to source something local since shipping sheets is expensive so I'll be a bit flexible with that.

H there What flooring and bed wall fabric are you using? Did you get the mini or full size Stingray bags?

This is the one: https://bedrug.com/bedrug-impact-bedliner
I trimmed off the back / tailgate panel for a cleaner look.

Thank You. What size Stingrays did you get full or mini?
