Yes, we all face the same conundrum.

Project vehicles have a shelf life proportional to owner interest, funding and time.

The steps you have taken on your truck are similar to my own aspirations, I just started one step earlier with a modest roof wing.

I was almost waiting for some kind of incident/accident so I would have an excuse to fix and replace with something better, but it's held up better than I expected.

If by any chance you don't get to the operating/opening device phase, please post what you would have done if given the time.
