stomper Quote I drive about 60+ miles a day i carry yard equipment every day, push mower, weedeater, blower, gas can, rake, etc. I need all this stuff everyday so i cant get rid of it, would a rolling tonneau cover help?

If your handy you can...
  1. Buy a civic vx hatchback. It already has a tailgate
  2. Cut off the roof behind the "cab"
  3. At this point might as well cut out the window area above the quarter panels
  4. Weld in some sort of floor and cap off your "pickup box side rails"
  5. Build a fiberglass/foam aeroshell to use when your not using your vehicle as a real truck.This will weight at most 30 lbs so you can put it on/off by yourself.
  6. Brag to your friends about your truck that gets 50 mpg with the shell off and 60 mpg with it on

Of course I am joking except for #1 above ....But then again I really want someone to do this so I don't have to. Hell I bet you could even beat those old diesel Vw pickups for the 1980's
