Actually, I have some plans in the works to make the back half of the cap hinge up with some hood props... A "trunk" of sorts. I too, do not like the unusability of it, and the reason I did this was

B) I was inspired by high gas prices, Phil Knox, and ecomodder.com
C) It's oh so fun!
D) I have a Z71 when I need a truck
