Glad to hear that the assembly of the DECKED wasn't bad.
Very manageable, and I’m somewhat handy but not an everyday wrench turner. It took me a while, but that’s because you all have built a super sturdy product that lines up perfectly with the bed. I kept thinking how impressed i am that you all figured this out so quickly and engineered something so bombproof. I’m super impressed. Well done.

Thank you for the kind words. We are constantly trying to improve the DECKED product.

Waiting for the JT diesel
First awesome JT Build! A lot of the same things I debating on doing once I get my JT. You have 3 products I especially interested in how they are all working together. Hoping you can provide me with some measurements...

1. Height between the Decked and the Nutshell box?
2. Width between the Nutshell boxes?
3. How much does the IKamper actually overhang the cab? If possible I would like a measurement from end of bed (at gap with cab) to end of IKamper.

I really appreciate any help you could offer with this. I am planning my build around one day taking my special needs son on the TAT. So there are slot of things I need to plan around including his service dog (hopefully).

UPDATE 2.8.20***

The full height Nuthouse Industries rack turned out to be the perfect choice - now that the iKamper Skycamp 2.0 is mounted, the clearance between the cab and the underside of the tent is perfect, and should allow for all of the flex needed. No wind noise at all.

I also added rock lights, directed away from the underside of the truck to allow for maximum light dispersal outward, for seeing in camp. RGB LEDs also allow me to control color - red or orange is perfect for nighttime.
