what do you think?

I am going to make a bar which bolts onto the tub and provides somewhere for the rear clips on the canvas to fasten to

You'll then need a tonneau cover for the remainder of the tub!

Perhaps you could move the rear transom forward and fit a little trayback about the size of a small bail of hay ! :twisted:

hahaha thats the idea ;) thought it was a bit different too

I might make a whole divider that slots in the rear for the top to clip onto instead of just a bar. I wasn't really stressed about a tonneau cover for the rest :p it's only a truck and i'm definatly not cutting up an ex-army landrover

Headroom is good - I just miss the roof (wearing me beanie :p) and I estimate that I'm sitting at least 3-5 inches higher than normal.

I'm not the tallest bloke out there though, only 5' 7.5"

So far I really like it - adds a whole new experience to driving my truck around. Amplifies alot of noises too :)
