That is exactly what I said when I saw your Video " OB rig Walk Around" on You tube for the first time. My guess is they were separated at birth  :-O

Nice truck, similar to my build over all.

Just out of curiosity, why did you paint the roof Matte Black? Im doing everything I can to minimize heat gain on my truck, as my kids still occupy the second and third rows, and they complain pretty seriously in the summer.

You've done a great job with your build. I love it.

hi mellowdave. so sorry for my late reply. I like the rough look and in summer when we go out, roof rack is full of gear. sleeping platform inside, at night, open windows and put a home made screen on the sunroof. when family is camping, we sleep out on a tent.

Nice 80... Im guessing you're located on LI due to the great picture of the Montauk lighthouse.
