I picked up my Fleet last weekend and had it outfitted with the Yakima bars and solar panel. I shifted the solar panel to the front and the front bar towards the back so I could add my Yakima rocket box to the roof as the inside really has limited storage.
Unfortunately adding the rocket box to the top has limited my ability to lift the back. It has the stock gas struts on it. I sent a mail off to FWC asking for advice or product information to replace the struts and hope to hear back, but thought I'd discuss it here.
I have seen the speaker stand solution and may go with it. We hope to pop it up quicker than that though as we got the cassette toilet in there for our special needs daughter and when its time to go, we'd like to get in there and get to the potty pronto!
I assume I can buy a stronger shock, however could use a recommendation on the strut to choose.
I also considered adding another set of shocks along the side, double the struts in the back. Anyone ever done this?
I plan to keep this box (currently empty even) on the roof year round. I will be putting stuff in there when I go camping obviously.
I don't have plans to go the gym to address this issue.
Thanks for your thoughts,
Jason
