Yeah, I'm not yet a fan of that taper at the tailgate.
I see some guide blocks/shims in my future. Peter, the size of your blocks seems about perfect. Brad, I'll think about the eyebolts.
Taylor D did a youtube video, take him under 5 min to put on the regular Torklifts, under 1 for the fastguns. Perhaps not having fastguns not a big deal, considering the clearance issues they present. (and $$).
I get a week trip July 4th, but will probably wait till when I'm "free!" 1st of August to get the guides in place.
Re: Happijac rear tie downs, as a newbie I don't like that there is not 1 set tension to adjust for. The threads are tight anyway (will try grease), so I don't like tightening till "snug" plus 1 turn. Using Torklift, tighten till 1/4" gap from body to o-ring, I'm comfortable with that!
Thanks,
Dave
