The quick release aspect of this design was part of the features of Baja Designs light rack I used. This light rack had the capability to have a remote motor driven option as well. Sportsmobile's contribution was to create the attach points to the van (black angle brackets). As my...

Hey Carl, The top is electric. I am able to put the HiLift Jack on one side, the PulPal arm on the other side, have 4 x MaxTrax (front), a couple pieces of 2x6 (rear) + the roof rack with two solar panels and have not had any issues. I am reasonably close though and doubt that I could add...

Thanks again everyone. I personally could not recommend exploring southeast Alaska enough. My wife enjoyed it so much that she is basically ready to move there, today. My daughter keeps asking me “when we can go back?” Sure, mainland Alaska has larger animals walking around...
