I think these are all mini/work vans with new headlight assemblies.

It should be relatively simple to mock up in tinkercad, but you'll probably need to provide some measurements.

Annealing will certainly help to prevent delamination. Hurts for mass production though, since I'm guessing you'll be getting requests once you get it spot on. I like the new design.

A 2012 Nissan Xterra. It was a good ride, but I got a job in a neighboring city and the 14 mpg was too much. I needed a cross between highway comfort and off-road ability. I went in for a Maverick and came away with the BS BL.

I have been wondering how you did that. Thanks, I didn't want to remove the bumper when I decide to do something similar :)

That's nice! What is your new tire size and wheel make?

I would think Carbon fiber-infused PETG would be a better option(as it has a higher glass transition temp.), but still not as good against the effects of UV radiation as ASA, from what I understand.

I'm curious to know how you would print this to limit delamination? I'm guessing the rear of the part would be on the build plate? If you have a belt printer, the bottom could be on the belt and the layers would be at a 45, which could make the print more robust. As an aside, I would elect for...

Those are awesome crossbar, lightbar, and basket kit combo! I'd love more info on them and where they were acquired from?

You may need to do some work the make sure that size doesn't rub. I second the HRG Engineering lift. But the one from fordrangerlifts.com looks like a great kit too.

I agree anything more than 2 sheets of 3/4 I would probably just rent one of those those hourly vans from home depot. It's not worth the potential issues.

Thanks for this. I did not realize there was a difference, but make total sense!

Thanks, it looks like both those are outdoor rated, so I will go with something similar. :)

That is an interesting insight that I did not consider! Although; I am sure that is well below the actual ability of the rails, as a rooftop tent must weigh a fair bit and the weight of an average single American is already in the upper range of that value.
