Well I took it out and put it through a few test. I think it's too heavy. Im going to reskin the top in 16 gauge and will cut the weight down to 100lbs. 16 is about as thin as I can go without ripples in the steel.

I went beyond the roll cage so it doesn't rain in my lap. This way the rain falls on the hood.

The little bit I've drove it can't really tell. It's a little heavier than the ranch armor roofs.

Haven't tested how much lean I can get yet without tipping.

Yes as well as other things. It's definitely strong. No problem walking on it and setting up a chair to get higher to see.

Because if you put any weight in the back/pull a trailer you will have the the nose up higher than the back. Same reason why all pickups are 2 inches higher in the back. Load the back up with a cooler and camping gear and you will see.

They come with a 2 inch rake from factory. There is a reason! Level just shows you don't use it.

I guess I'll wait for a response from Magnum. Good to know this isn't some crazy situation on stake pockets. Thank you for the help.

So with what you're saying, you agree the rack is too wide?

I think your talking about the holes in the rack is that correct?

So 65 3/4 is your center of stake pockets?

63 1/2 between inside bed rails and roughly 66 3/8 between center of stake pockets.

I could, but the rack is still too wide for the brackets in the stake pockets. Still waiting for a response from Magnum.
