Thanks for such a detailed writeup.  You have some great ideas.  Best half-door ideas I've seen yet.  I'll definitely be using some of your ideas.  I'd love to get out to MCR this year, but I don't think my rig will be ready in time.

Kind words much appreciated!    Glad you like my work!  8)  Unfortunately I missed the registration deadline for MCR this year and for the moment I'm not sure I will be going.     But if I still go it will be a last minute decision. 

Fortunately, I don't have a lot to do to my rig to get it there...just fix my OBA compressor (which would be nice but not totally necessary) and maybe some new tires if I can afford them before then. We'll see! 

In any case, good luck with your build and hope you do get to make it to MCR it's a great trip! Lotsa good people and you get to meet the turtle man himself!
