No worries, mate..I don't think I'm going to be using this one after all.
After driving around with it for a little while, I found it seems to cut mileage (a bit), but makes the truck totally useless as a truck...I can't reach into the bed to grab tools, and if I want to load any large items, I have to remove it completely...consequently I've decided to go with a slanted bed cover instead...I think it's going to come up about 1/3 of the way up the back window, and then have 3 "frames" each covered with some kind of fabric, that will act as a solid bed cover, but can be easily moved or removed for carrying, plywood, tools, bulk materials or whatever else. I'm a contractor, so the truck is constantly hauling stuff. I love the idea of being eco-friendly, but I still need a truck that is practical.
Even so, I'll check out the image thingy you were talking about--sounds like fun!
