Amazon knock-off of the Mopar bed rails installed.

I sourced shell clamps that tied into the track from GCi. These are currently unreleased but they were kind enough to sell me a set when I called.

At the other end, I kept the standard shell clamps because by doing so, I have easier access to add and adjust tie downs in the tracks.

It's been a while since I've been on any forums really. Life got busy, landed a new job, kids growing, and a few new additions to the Jeep.

1. I ordered a Tune M1 camper last week, estimated delivery in August. SO excited for that, I ordered it essentially "fully loaded" in my mind... Heat, blackout, sunblocker, insulation, etc etc etc..

With that, i'll be selling my decked drawers and bed shell when it arrives.

2. My son hung out with me to help me install some molle panels from JCR offroad so we can do some organization.

3. We hit a local trail last week to scope out one of our local spots and see how the trail has changed this year.

Pics below, the camper picture is AI generated from a photo I took just to roughly show what it will look like installed.

Yesterday I installed the EcoFlow alternator charger.

In the process, I realized how much space Decked drawers were wasting so I fully removed them.

They need to go eventually for the camper build-out anyway, and now I don't need to reinstall them.
