    Help finding a camper top.

    I remember finding a camper type thing that was similar to a soft top on the K5's but for the C/K models. It was also collapsible so you can have it as a tonneau cover have the sides up or the full camper. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks in advance.

    msd box install

    So I got myself a msd box for a dandy price brand new. Once I read the instructions however I realized that I apparently need to more harnesses for the box.
