Roofrack is fitted. It was right on the limit of a solo lift but i carefully managed it by stacking things to walk up!

It looks alright but I am slightly annoyed that I didn't make the top bar at the back go another 3 inches to line up with the back of the truck. Might make an additional bolt on section later.

It finishes where it does because that is where the rear structural metal work that it bolts to is located. The rear doors take up the last few inches of length.

Looks like a perfect space for some lights to mount without hanging out past the length.

Is the intent behind all that insulation warmth or soundproofing? (Or both, but primary motivation, I guess?)

Well done, either way!

So when I bought insulation panels for this I looked at it kinda in a rush and eyeballed it at 3 sheets

Measured it properly last night and chucked it into Cutlist Optimizer and its only 1 and a bit

This is a great app. I wish I'd used it first and i'd be �20 richer now

This is super cool. I imagined it was simply figuring out how to lay them all out in a way that uses as much sheet as possible, then I noticed the fairly large was section on the first sheet, which at least one of the pieces cut out of the second sheet would certainly fit in. That was when I realized it was optimizing the cuts you have to make, also!
