    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)

    New suspension is now installed as well... I upgraded from my original Icon setup. (Stage3). It was a great setup, but when my brother and I were out traveling I was overloading it and blew the seals on the rear driver side. (at just about 30 k miles) In checking out the rest of the shocks...

    Roof Top Tent on a Topper Shell

    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.
