...that video is 11 years old from 2015, there was no slop machines in existence yet back then.
Basic articulated tentacles like this have existed for decades, it's not that hard of a mechanical engineering challenge.
Yeah it's odd that the A-pillars are excluded like that to me as well, and I plan the same to get the A-pillars wrapped. Going for the whole cab area in one of the silvers honestly to reject as much heat as possible and a roughly matching silver tint on the rear glass as well.
Honestly I think they're trying to scoop up all the 'too small for a full ride-along event' areas and lot of rural / back-woods roads, so more likely I-80 -> I-29 down to Kansas City -> I-70 to Utah -> I-15 to Salt Lake City -> I-80 to Reno, then down CA-395 to San Diego.
So when powered off the WolfBox is as reflective as any other rear view mirror I've used.
But in the US at least generally (I'm not gonna try to re-verify all 50 states right now, sorry XD) you always need a drivers-side mirror and EITHER a passenger-side OR central rear-view mirror. You used...
Other way around, the roll-bar is the absolute first part in, because the rear bench seats and their seat belts bolt to the roll-bar, then the roof shell goes over top last which is likely why they decided to offer the open-air kit so suddenly.
You could easily remove the seats, just the system...
I use a WolfBox here, they replace the rear-view mirror entirely which is super convenient for mounting and you really notice how nice it is having your cargo and passengers not able to get in the way of your rear view AND not being able to be blinded by headlights behind you since the...
Slate Delay Factor.
You never specified what the acronym meant, and it's opaque as drywall. Not everyone enjoys word puzzles or deals with random acronym soup on the regular to be able to puzzle them out. :)
This right here, like 8 seconds 0-60 is only 2 seconds slower than my Subaru BRZ that's still considered a helluva decent cheap RWD 'fun car' even today. It's a truck, not a drag strip race car. Next he'll be complaining that it's top speed is 'only' 90mph.
I mean high-roof model vehicles are often not garage-able in normal residential garages or parking structures, they live street-side or in a driveway. That's the trade-off of opting for a high roof.
And I agree that standing height is quite a bit of a reach and would look awkward at best...
The rear beam on the cab is part of the welded frame, so that can't go away.
But replacing the cab roof plastic panel with one that's a dead flat shelf on the inside with an exterior arch that continues the windshield angle up?
That would let you raise the cargo area to a comfortable 'seated...
The issue is often there's no coolant flow then either, so you're limited to "whatever heat is in the cabin radiator loop" for heat which is a LOT less.
That 'front bar only' seems more intended for mounting a lightbar, or to be paired with the 'tower rack' options, most likely the twin tower racks with the cross-bracing between them as you end up with three equally spaced crossbars at equal height then.
Wasn't meant in an attack way, just genuine confusion because it seemed to tick every possible box to make it quite easy to access I could think of, so I was curious what I was overlooking, sorry if it came across as aggressive!
And yeah I guess knowing that EV-sized 12V batteries are usually...
