In case anyone doubted the viability of using 80/20, have a look at their "Camp Tackle" page. Too bad that they don't leverage it to it's best extent. Straps to hold down the boxes when there are much more robust solutions immediately available.Oilbrnr said:Utility of a bed shell, flexibility to use for camping.
And dust all over everything.

So Cal Adventurer said:I've been following this and very curious to hear my details.
But from what i can tell, its going to have one of the main issues/reasons i went with an FWC, DUST.
A great idea in theory, and I'm itching to see more details, but i think it would be a MUCH MUCH harder product to pull off with all the totally different odd ball bed sizes coming out on all the new trucks. A production nightmare.
But very curious and watching closely.
This is such a true statement! Here at AT Overland we have had to find the happy medium with the full size and mid size market. But now an again you get the oddball.
Sealing dust out can be a challenge with a "topper" on my Ram i had to seal places where the factory said meh close enough.
I have a 2014 Tundra and. 2018 FWC.Oilbrnr said:He had a FWC prior (not sure which model or how well equipped) but he felt it was too heavy for the Tundra in areas here in AZ/UT/MX that he likes to go. Plus, he's 6'4" so he can actually stand up now inside and keep his expensive mountain bikes protected somewhat from theft.
Does ATC offer a shell that keeps/uses the OEM tailgate?cwdtmmrs said:Still doesn't make any sense. You can get an ATC shell for $9,650.00 or a complete one for around $15,500.00 and get a lot more value. They will work with you on the build as well.
cwdtmmrs said:No. If that is the deal breaker, I kinda understand. Still not for the $$$. That camper should be 1/2 the price.
