Finally measured twice and cut once, and it worked! Test fit is spot on!
Next up, map out where my wiring and DCDC charger will go
looking good!! I like the use of aluminum

I also made a tailgate panel a few months ago. I like the weight savings, but its a one shot of you don’t know how to weld it (which i dont). I still have a little more work to do replacing the rivnuts in the tailgate, but its 98% complete for now. I am also debating whether i should bedline it or leave it raw

That’s gonna get unbearably hot in the sun just fyi

More hot than black? I don’t really hang out or sit on the tailgate. Its a stronger and better option than the factory one. Plus it only cost me $70.
Mostly because it’s metal and not plastic. Would be like a tailgate griddle

Metal is stronger than plastic, and flat is better than ridged (for my knees). I think ill be ok.
Or for sale: $250 + shipping 
Picked up a slightly used pair of Deaver Stage 3 today. Need to order some ubolts and then get these installed

I dislike wiring/electrical, and being lazy to do it doesn’t help. But getting closer to finishing up my dual battery setup and getting things installed.
The next step will be to run the wire from the engine bay to the bed.

Got the wire built, loomed, and ran.
Dont want to toot my own horn, but hoping all this time and patience leads to a clean install

Looking good so far. Way cleaner than mine that is still currently zapped into a bundle under the hood

Still haven’t connected the alternator to the dcdc charger. But this is what I got done today:
Replaced solar wires with longer/thicker gauge
Mounted blue sea fuse block
Mounted 60A breaker
Made a few short wires to connect breaker/fuse block/etc
Almost ready to put the panel in and clean up the routing of the wires that will run behind

Not much going on with the build these days…
Today I did swap Deaver stage 3 with my OME Dakar HD+AAL. A bit smoother on ride quality, and hopefully more weight capacity.

Leaning towards bike camping at the moment. Its hard to sleep on the ground (like a peasant ) when I have a perfectly good GFC to sleep in!
I still love the truck and the tent. I have some ideas floating around too, that Id like to see come to life. All in good time.
