Are you concerned about it cracking from chassis flex or has this been proven durable for frames? All help appreciated. Thanks

Yeah, that's it. It's made by USC. Has a silver wrapped can with red and blue graphics. As for the cracking, I'm not sure if it's been proven against creaking or not. I fully welded my seams on the frame so I would expect it not to. If it does, well.....not sure what I'll do at that point. I personally don't think it will. I didn't build it up thick at all, just enough to hide some of the welding.

Sure did Steve! Been in it since August 2013. We even added on to the family. Had our second son on August 27th!

I just realized that not all of my pictures are showing up. Cardomain updated their site and I guess some of the links got messed up.

The floor looks nice, which bed liner did you use?

Thank you. I am trying to keep my welds nice but 40+ year old steel with oily gunk hiding in the seams has thrown me a curve just when I think I am doing alright. I may just try following your path.

Everyone else's Ridetech cap looks more flush than mine did when I mocked it up last Christmas. It looks like it fills the factory recess nicely and ends up pretty flush. Perhaps I just need to bite the bullet, drill and cinch it down to get the full effect?
