I think you guys overestimate the hatred truck guys have for an Aerolid. I've had way too many people to count come up to me at gas stations / parking lots / etc and ask about it, many wanting to buy one, and have gotten quite a few thumbs up / mouthed "that's cool" / etc while driving. Sure, the people on forums only care about lift kits and mudders, but the real world has more shades of gray.
And no, I don't use my truck as much as a contractor, but it's pretty rare to have two weeks go by without either pulling a trailer, hauling big heavy stuff, or sleeping in the back. I haven't yet found a time when I'm both so loaded that I need the cap up and have to leave it locked overnight.
Bondo, keep up the good work, and hopefully someone will finally jump on this and start manufacturing for you.
PS - I'd be getting ~25mpg right now if my commute didn't have traffic and I quit taking trips to Home Depot.
