Everyone: meet Big Mike the adventure van.
This is a project that I started back in November of '16 and have been working on about 3/4 of the time since. I designed and built the v-top in the westy style, insulated, and installed it on my 2012 Chevy 3500. Installed gas springs and a lifting hinge ala volkswagen, had a local firm fab the tent, and installed it the other day. So far pretty happy with the results.
Oh I've got pix. I want to post a comprehensive build thread soon, but SOMETHING is eating up all my spare time. here are a couple just to whet your appetites: The first is the plug and the second is me turning the mold over with the plug off and in the background.
