Nice, how does it attach?

There is a metal bracket that hooks onto the window trim and some 3m tape. They are meant for 70 series with metal door so some minor modifications are needed. Move some holes 13mm and instead of magnets use some 3m tape.

Replaced the heim joints on my @LandCruiserPhil rear sway bar links, quick after work job to get rid of a nice clunk the worn out heims were making.

Dobinsons adjustable.
They need some adjusting.

Nice build. I'm also jealous of where you live. When I lived back east, we'd always stop at the Rockland Bakery to stock up on loaves after visiting the grand parents in the city.

I’ve never been, I’ll have to check it out. I’m a sucker for pastries and carbs.

Merl got a new hat today.
GFC V2 Pro RTT
I attempted a solo install which I don’t recommend and had to get the wife out to lend a quick hand.
It wasn’t suuuuuper hard but it sucked lol. Maybe the first solo install of a gfc.
The tent has direct gutter mounts, no rack needed. I have two crossbars that get bolted to the top of the tent so I can throw my kayaks and paddle board up top, and still be able to open the tent.

Time for a test run to the desert.
