Few weeks short of 4 years on 2020 before main started fail. Opted to upgrade to Genesis dual battery kit with odyssey batteries. Hoping I wont have to deal with next change for years to come. Next battery change willl be much easier now. Anxiety gone.
Easy install, just stuffed in. Used plastic detail tool to help. Run finger along material to even out. Couple 80mph one hour test drives later and no movement.
I did one long piece on the windshield. Still debating on trimming the piece on top of the hinges. Then cut two separate pieces for each cowl. I didn’t touch the hood seam.
Used left over welting gasket between windshield and cowl seams. Noticeable difference for a few dollars. Should have done this a while ago.

There are plastic pieces from the slider window frame that are exposed past the gasket on the top. If the plastic cracks or if the gasket doesn’t hold its seal, it will leak.
Had my window replaced by the dealership about a year ago. Noticed today it’s leaking. I don’t believe they have fixed the design. Replacing bad parts with bad parts.
Cargo containers are up to $26k and will only go to certain ports. Some plastics are up 200-300%. Steel is up 150%. Aluminum is up 100% over June of last year.
I went with the Roam slimline with the low bar $600. A little goofy to install but comes with winch plate. I added a Factor 55 fairlead. Have Plans to install a winch or addition small radiator.
22 inches of the 1050 profile, longest I could go before you start into the wheel well. Used item #13035 SS M8 T-but. 4 inches on the vertical. If you use the Frontrunner, may need to grind an 1/8th of an inch on the corner next to the wheel well.
Setup is working great. Tried to get away with a no drill application, but tank kept turning in from bed wall. May have worked if I used a wider extrusion on the vertical. I put a SS rivnut behind the tail light and tied it into the bottom extrusion with a 90 deg bracket. Need to replace steel...
Hard to get a photo, tight spot. I used a M6X20 SS button head screw 80/20#17-6320 and M6 anodized backing plate 80/20#25-2492. I put a lock nut on to keep it from backing out. Fits perfectly against the tiedown round stock.
