    Overland Solar Tracking System

    What is going to kill this product is having to have 185lbs strapped to your roof. You can get a lot of solar panels for 185lbs. Especially for "overland", this will be hell on your CG off road, even more so on an already tall van Shawn

    Electric Chain Saw

    Just an fyi on the dewalt saw from the project farm video. They have a version 2.0 now that addresses the issues with the 1.0 one now IIRC, that vid is 2 years old.

    HELP me decide: GFC Topper or A.R.E. DCU

    Yeah, underground parking is a no go with the above cab ones. You can get the "ladder racks" for the low ones and carry plywood and longer items on top. I had one on my older truck, mine bolted on and you could take it on and off as needed if you dont use it all the time. With my current one...

    HELP me decide: GFC Topper or A.R.E. DCU

    Get barn doors, they are game changing Not only are they better for you getting in and out of it, they make using the bed easy. I have a high top sloped roof DCU on my 1500.

    Truck Cap Aerodynamics: Wedge vs Standard

    I have had both types and mileage and handling is really no difference. Where there is a huge difference is wind noise. The wedges are significantly less loud YMMV As for the door, double full, with or without window, or bust. Once you use it you will never go back Shawn
