Nice Project! I am of the same mindset, Build it yourself! That's the fun part in my opinion.

Westcott Designs sliders installed, my body is sore! These suckers are heavy! Just in time as we have an OLB tomorrow AM, Canada in October, and Death Valley in November

I used an old piece of plywood screwed to my floor jack, made it pretty easy

Hey Ofer!

Thanks for saying hi! It is pretty darn beautiful up here. I just ran into @Kent R on the trail doing a section where the Magruder Corridor and the IDBDR overlap. We just got back last weekend from Canada!

I installed Westcott Designs sliders. They are the TIG, 0°, powder coated with top plates. Stout indeed.

That looks epic. I see Kent regularly and will see him next weekend in the Mojave. He is an asset. Been working on this build for the last 2+ years.

I got my Quick Pitch privacy suite mounted. Not all the straps around the perimeter are attached as it was getting dark. I needed it to swing away from the truck so it retains its full size hanging down and not leaning against the side of the truck. I also needed it to swing towards the rear 12" so that the iKamper ladder would clear the privacy frame when it comes down.

I ended up using a TV mount rated for 88lbs and plan on adding a locking system to stabilize it against the rack when the truck is in motion.
