I have two radios;
My HAM is an AnyTone AT-778UV Dual Band.
I normally use a Youmei Dual Band NMO UHF/VHF 400-470/136-174MHZ 50W antenna mounted on an NMO hood mount. While I have never had an issue with Range I still carry a Tram 140MHZ-170MHZ + 430-470MHZ NMO Antenna.
I also have a Midland...
I’d love to meet up, but may be heading out camping that weekend with some buddies. I’ll double check dates. Keep updates coming so we can see if it will work out.
Current task I am working on is a design for an internal topper support.
Probably overkill but I have been enjoying the design process. I'll post up some finished photos soon (maybe once I see if I can make a viable kit for folks so they have an easy diy kit)
Here is the parts list I chose...
Black Coil Springs (just could not do the turquoise)
Shooting for 2 - 2.5" Lift Selected the following:

Any photos of your aluminum reinforcement. I have been running a light tent on top of my old ARE CX topper and it’s held up fine. But I recently purchased a heavier tent and my wife is now coming along so it’s quite a bit more weight than I would like to run on it regularly.
Yea I added the bed supports in the rear. I am probably going to have to "dig deep" and see if I can get something fabricated myself to support the weight on the roof from the top of the bed similar to what the Aussie company has above (it may be functional but it will probably not be pretty) I...
Sooo.. on to the cap and then drawer system... and added electrical setup to the rear of the truck (maybe add a diagram) ... then on to the small solar setup the truck now has as well as the Roof Racks and updated Suspension.
