I got the truck cap

It’s nice, pretty much like the old one on Big Red. How fast time comes and goes. I got a second battery box, butt connectors and two sided sticky tape and now I have everything I need to complete my rig.

Little worried I’ll have enough room to mount the kayak rack and two panels on the new cap – I measured on the old rig and seemed like both would fit but I’ll figure out something. Also a bit annoyed seeing a defect in the roof paint job but it will be hidden under the solar panel – and being warned by Andy Ruth secretary that the tail gate lip is a bit fragile but I’ll learn to be careful I guess or replace it with something like a rubber door sweep, though they did say they can order that replacement part.

I guess nothing is perfect in this world and life is full of trials and tribulations. People have their opinions on my truck build but I kind of like it. I think it will be a good rig through retirement seeing it mostly built now and I’m looking forward to the mamy trips ahead.
