    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 !

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    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 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 ) 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
