There’s maybe a 1/4” clear under there … I measured multiple times before pulling the trigger on the Engel. I looked at a lot of different options.

I like the idea of the brackets - I’ll look at those ARB ones to see if I can do something similar. Thanks.
Thank you! I don’t think I noticed the MT35 was shorter than the bigger ones. I researched to death and decided to buy an Engel before I realized it was too tall!

I'm also a little shocked at the footprint of the 45 combi. But the back 5 or 6 inches is all compressor, venting, and control panel. Its great! I think the quieter run and lower amperage draw is well worth it - hopefully you can find a way to make it work? Or is it just too much?

I drove through the biggest mud puddle which was crossing the road in a low spot on my way to get breakfast and was excited to do so after driving a Hellcat Challenger for the past year and having to avoid them. I am just an adult child

The 60 is shorter than the 45 by a few inches! But it’s a hair taller than the ARB elements so if that doesn’t quite fit, then I definitely can’t get the Engel 60 in🥴
I really should’ve just gotten a bed cap :headbang:

Gotcha I misread - not enough coffee....I thought you already had the 60. lol. Yeah a canopy is really the best way to go IMO. I just can't imagine dealing with all the dust and crap from a open cage, and certainly not enough storage for just a tonneau cover.

Well I made one more harness and got it put in in preparation of other things so that the in cab 12v ignition signal can let stuff know when to work. I wanted to do more but its about all I could do with outside temps in the single digits today despite the sun

Is this what I keep hearing rattle around below the bed when I hit expansion joints? The Parking break cables?
