My new 2026 OR

[PNWkip]

Installed OVS topper. By myself with no help.

Ah man that's SWEET! Really want to get that style topper, but $$$ hoping to come across a deal one day.
Looks really good!

I honestly think it's worth the money. It's put together well and if you're handy and understand assembling things, you *can* do it yourself. But if you're not, bring a buddy or a forklift.

The most challenging part was the middle screw by the cab to hold the lid on it. Had to put a vice grip on the nut inside so I could tighten the bolt with the hex key. Took about 4 hours from start to finish (but I have some nifty time-saving tools like power ratchets).

Did first oil change at ~900mi. Tried to put icon +600lb springs on rear axle, but I couldn’t get enough droop in the axle to put the new spring in, as it’s a bit longer. Ran out of time, put original spring back in till I have time to try again.

seems like I’ll have to disconnect both sides shocks, swaybar, brake lines to get enough space. That rear axle has a lot more travel in it than I’d have thought. Pretty impressive tbh.

Got the icon springs in. Got spring compressors (hate using them, but gotta do what ya gotta do).

It’s at about 230mi now, this pic was taken when it had 13mi on the clock.

In the process this weekend of adding a few things.

Today i added RC molle panels, cali raised stiffeners. Tomorrow my OVS topper is supposed to arrive, will also be putting ARK splash guards on.

only things left are tinted windows and black camo leather seat covers from Leland that seem to be stuck in customs since 2/6

Good looking truck!
