Ha ha, I don't think anyone knows (or cares!)

Loaded pallet! S2 D60 front with an ARB, 4.56s and the RSC upgrade. Sterling with another ARB, 6" lift, NV271, shock towers, Fox 2.0 res, everything else needed to build the rig but shafts. Headed to PA soon.
Don't have to be out west to have fun in this monster.

End of the week progress!
Rotella V10 is mobile! We busted butt on this rig, final wiring next week and then its hi top/roof rack time.
The 5.4 from MO had a bit of rust, its super low miles so we cleaned and undercoated the entire body and painted the chassis as we always do. F axle just went in, should have it all back together next week.
AlphaVan fuel system and turbo work. We've had to re work a lot of the parts since they're mostly made for trucks. No big deal, just takes up some time. Since we're going to run a front mount intercooler that adds another hurdle as we plumb and plan things.

Hey Chris, do you guys use anything specific for all the undercoating? That looks really nice!

While we're tossing questions at Chris on his day off, I've got a couple concerning roof racks. If my eye-ball estimator is properly calibrated it looks like you're using 1x2 for your rack profiles, is that correct? Whatever being the case, how much deflection under load do you see on the across the width of the roof?
I'm looking to do something on my Ambo but I'm also looking at about an 84" span across there. I'm going to custom make the side...panels I guess you'd call them, but I want to use the 80/20 profiles for the cross bars. I'm hoping 1x2 will get it done so I can keep overall height down. It'll have some sort of decking to it so I can toss a chair up there at events and lord it up over the ground dwellers.
I suppose I could put some kind of "foot" mid away on the cross bars to lend support under load, but if I can avoid that I'd rather. It's not like I intend to toss tons of load up there, but it's quite a span.
