So a lot happened today, and for most of it I didn't recognize my own truck! But I will adjust!
This has been my setup for some time, but everything must change!
Step 1 - Pull the roof rack
Step 2 - Empty Tent
Step 3 - Remove Tent
Step 4 - Wash Truck
Step 6 - Memorial photo of stickers
Step 7 - Transfer camper shell to @Nicklovin to live on for new adventures!
Step 9 - Confusingly stare at truck realizing I actually have a truck.
To be continued...

Yeah its great! But I was only able to enjoy it four a few hours, gave me a chance to wash the back windows ?
Same, only had it off once in the past 10 years!
The wait is always painful but worth it!
?
Step 10 - Install Flip-Pac!

Can't get over how much cleaner the truck looks now! Now it will be even harder to figure out what to do with the paint.
New parts are starting to flow in! Picked up the new SLO Rain Fly with the Flip-Pac, its never been used and the Flip-Pac was only used twice
I'll probably use it more than that in the next month!
Upgraded the cap seal with a more heavy duty style, should hopefully keep everything secure and water tight on and off road.
Have a water fill port and lights on order, also looking at L-Track for inside and outside the camper and adding mounts for my sand ladders.
Also looking at awnings and debating of a 270 awning would work on the Flip-Pac, haven't seen any examples yet.
At any rate it will be hard to drill into the camper in such mint condition
Truck is also having the swing-outs modified, adding propane tank mounts, locking pins, and a bike rack.
Air tank will also likely be tucked under the cab for air tools, tires, water toys ect.

Thanks! Slowest build ever but it keeps chugging along!
Trucks getting dialed in! Shop did a really good job on the air tank bracket!
Tucked high and away from any possible contact.
Locking pins/tabs for the swing-outs also work great.
Propane tank mount also coming along.
Keeping it outside the cab and shell.
Tire has been leveled to clear the back window, now has tow hitch mount inside the spare for more accessories!
Bike rack is also being modified to work with new spare tire hitch!

Back end is coming together! Modified THULE bike rack (cut off about 40lbs!) to work with the spare tire swing-out and custom hitch mount! Should still work with Trasharoo and I'm able to strap some sand ladders on it if called for by the trip! Everything is off the roof and out of the air stream!
