Awesome choice. I assume you have the bed stiffeners and if I recall GFC has aluminum pucks for the stake bed pockets since you can't actually count on the plastic rail caps? I'm hoping to eventually go with and AT Habitat or possibly a Hiatus because I don't like the wedge sleep area, but GFC does make a heck of a product and it's super strong and light.

It looks fantastic! It looked like the installation took almost no time at all, and fits like a glove. The versatility of the setup is pretty cool, being able to enter the tent from within the cap, and still having plenty of access points around the tent is a nice feature. I'm a sucker for a good interior lighting setup- even in broad daylight, those lights really put out some power. I'm looking forward to your name reveal!

Absolutely have the stiffeners…YouTube vid on the install in the channel if you wanna check it out!

I have mixed feelings on the wedge to be honest…but for now I think it’s the best option because most of the full pop ups don’t allow for ladder access (you have to enter from the truck bed) where the wedges do…this allows me to keep the bed fully loaded and still use the sleeping area. But I must say the rincon looks amazing…

I'm very curious about how they overcame the limitations of the bed rails. Do you have any photos of the aluminum pucks for the stake pockets in the bed rails? I've seen some other companies completely remove the plastic trim.
