The removable boat tail is the unicorn of the ecomodding world - right up there with DIY electric hybrid assist (the leprechaun of the ecomodding world? With respect to Mike D's wonderful e-5th wheel, I mean a system integrated into the existing drivetrain).

I don't know anyone who's done it yet. But lots have spoken about doing it...

I'd love to see someone try. It's on my list... but my list grows faster than I check things off.
