Johnny, does the door close on top of the tailgate? Any leaks?

I can't stand a pickup with the topper either, but it's very functional for some. And the hankook tires...I'll pass on korean made stuff. Very beautiful truck though.

I would have liked to buy an American tire, but Goodyear and Cooper don't have the size.

WAS/Is there any concern about HOW they attached it? I mean the steel touching aluminum oxidizing problem?

How did they attach it? clamps? Bolts?

It is one of the nicest caps I've seen, I can admit that.

The tailgate has quite the lip on it. I guess that's necessary to house the step.

Did you ever find out what adapter they used? This splicing diagram looks like a mess I'd rather avoid.

Looks very nice...

Couple of questions:

1. Can you measure the height of the opening between the tail gate when down and the top of the topper. What to know if bicycles would fit standing up.

2. What was the lead time?

3. Can the topper be remove easily if needed?

What I'd like to do is setup 4 pulleys in the barn connected to to winch, drive in, connect the cables to the roof rack on the topper and, disconnect the topper from the truck and lift it off. There are times where a topper is great and there are time when you need to haul something that won't fit with the topper in place.

Thanks..
