Hey guys, we have the Installation video live now. It's pretty long, but we wanted to make sure it was as thorough as possible. You can view it here:



Thank you,
Does it interfere with the Trail Rail in the front? Was hoping that it connected to the trail rail.

The Trail Rail in the front needs to be removed to install the hinges.

Thank you,

Once the hinges are installed can you reinstall the front rail?
They would likely need to be cut or modified as the hinges are near their mounting position. However, you can keep the side rails and the UppEr Decker is going to give you a ton of strapping/mounting options.

Thank you,

Had my local parts guy order one for me. Could have saved a few $ but like to support the local guy! Think he said it is Astro.
Wish I had a local parts guy. They'll take good care of you. I think I heard of ASTRO before.

Mine is on it's way! Can't wait to get it installed and my Decked System! Noticed the website still isn't showing the new waterproof pictures or any installation video. Will there be an installation video soon? Could you put the instructions on the website or send to me before it arrives please?
@ACE Engineering
I emailed them late last week and they said it's still a few weeks out from shipping :whatsgoingon:

Here's some new pics of the now waterproof version with the RTT mounts.

Wow, that looks fantastic! :clap: Now you've got me rethinking my plans...again...:LOL:

Wish there was a higher clearance version to allow room for a fridge in the bed. Even if you had to lift the Upper Decker to access the fridge slide.

Edit: oh, and thanks for the well-detailed installation video. You mentioned there were advantages and disadvantages of both seal location options, but only talked about the potential issue with the seal on the bed rail location. What would the disadvantage be to install the seal on the Upper Decker underside?
