Nope...haven't bought/borrowed/found a drone to take a shot of the rig from the top yet.

By moving the trailer hinge point from the hitch to the top of the bed, wouldn't that incur a significant amount of fab work and reinforcement? That will impact the pivot range of the top canopy. This will also limit the ability to move things in/out of the truck bed. Is this the direction yer going with yer single wheel boat tail project? What's wrong with my current hinge point now? It seems to be working just fine.

Why does the stock tail lights need to go? I haven't noticed any interference from them when they are being used. What are you trying to propose? If I take them off with Dark Aero attached, I will have to reinstall them when I detach Dark Aero. If this is fer style points, I'm not buying in.
