The thread is lovely inspiration. Would be a boon to society far more than beards, tattoos and tee shirts to see dozens of such bed covers in a day.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Let me know if you ever head down to the San Marcos area and I will show it to you in person.

I agree, the shell definitely diminishes the ability for the truck to do normal truck work (i.e. haul stuff). The purpose for the shell, however, is for easy (no tent) camping/overlanding. The aero gains are a secondary bonus.
