Mpg i understand. don't think the height would be anymore of a problem than some of the plastic boxes is see up there. weight would be lighter than most of them. would be thru bolted to the crossbars so it's surely not moving forward.
Anybody running aluminum diamond plate cargo/tool boxes on top. I'm thinking of picking one of the shallow narrow ones to mount on my truck topper. UWS makes one 58" long by 18" wide. only about 11" tall. it shouldn't be too much of a wind block.
I agree on the used route. i've got 400 in my ARE topper, 700 in my topper ezlift, 400 in my Ironman 4x4 awning including the room add on and around 200 in my tracks, crossbars and rod holders/snow board racks. Now to start on my bed system.
I love my topper ez lift with the weekender package. If your just looking for the tailgate extensions. they have the nomad package. that encloses the talegate.
added an ironman 4x4 2.5 awning to the truck yesterday. turned the L brackets down. sticks out a little but easier to reach. probably adding a rack beside it and my rod holders next. how's everyone mounting their's to the topper?
Nice truck. Like the red. I looked hard for a red one but none available with 6.5 bed. Had to settle for white. I recently added my shell set up and a little something extra Topper EZ Lift. 1st topper i've ever added. love it so far. I can stay loaded for spur of the moment trips.
Loving your truck. waiting to see whats next. Looks familiar. I'm running a white 19 6.5 bed super crew too. Found a cheap topper. ridiculous what you can buy a year old used one for compared to new. 400 for mine left me money for my EZ topper lift. Too old and fat for ladders.
