I have these now, but I'm researching latching systems before I commit to anything.

Willie:
Very clean cabinets there. On hardware and construction questions, you might want to check with Charles with Warfield Offroad. Recently, I needed some very heavy duty hardware for my slide out tray and he was the only source I could find. The units I purchased were top quality.
You should have all that ready just in time for Borrego Fest

Thanks for all the kind words guys, it's really appreciated. I'm still working on them, but yes Dave they will be ready for Borregofest! Can't wait, but I still know know my work schedule.
Chazz.. the Engel is going top right of the box.

leaving the left side with access to the med kit and fire extinguisher, that will be mounted this weekend. I just don't know if we will do the fridge or a RTT first. (I need a second job) ANYONE NEED A DIVER TO DO CRAP WORK ON THEIR BOAT?!
Roof rack is next though. I'm really leaning towards the Bajarack. Any opinions? The only one I have spent a lot of time around is the ARB, but Baja is local and that's how I roll!!

I've got a Baja and absolutely love it. I drove out to the office in Vista and John gave me a hand in getting it up on the roof. I also picked up their axe/shovel and hi-lift mounts along with a jerry can holder. Quality products.
My only gripe is against the lame plastic bolt receivers in the roof. I lost two in the headliner somewhere getting the old rack off. I've been putting off dropping the headliner until I save up some money for some Dynamat.
If you want to take a look-see, just let me know. I'll be out at Borrego Fest or more than happy to meet up with you somewhere local.

Will you be at the ExPo meet Saturday? I would love to see the rack up close.

The GOBI is nice, I really like the how low of a profile the Stealth has. The deal breakers are the price, and the fact it folows the contour of the roof. If the steal was flat, I would be all over it despice the price tag though. Gobi was my first choice for the Rubicon, but the Wildboar was just too good of a deal to pass on.
