I think I'm going to have that step problem too.

I believe something's missing. I think a set of coat hooks near the ceiling --above the wheel wells-- would be a great addition if you've got a hard point to mount them to.
Something to consider.

I'm a step ahead of you

The Toyota wheels that I'm running are hub-centric (the lug nuts hold the wheel on but the centering is done by a flange on the hub). I wound up needing to use an adapter to go from the lug-centric hub to the hub-centric wheels. You'll want to keep that in mind when figuring out the length of axle to order if you're trying to match the track width of your truck and match wheels.

Tonight, I got the front corner windows installed. I've got to take a few days off due to house guests, but I'm hoping the big front window goes as smoothly.

Great looking build!
Would you be willing to share your CAD file of the trim ring? It could be just what I need for a custom skylight.
