    I like caps I say keep it, especially since you got a good deal. If you do sell it make something off of it.

    I might be leaning more towards keeping it. If for no other reason it looks a little less mall crawly i think ha ha.I do get alot of use out of it. maybe I will just buy a trailer for the bike

    Added some wood blocks for cap to rest on, easiest way to take on-off cap solo I found.

    I would take my cap off if it were just looks, but it is soo useful on, and I have a contractor rack on it. Would love to have one of those hoists hook to the rack someday when I have a garage.

    I love my cap, it's very useful, I can lock things in the back when I need to, It keeps everything dry. I have a thule rack on top if I need to haul long things (trim, ladders, etc). When I need to take it off, I have a simple hoist I made in my garage with ratchet straps to remove it, It takes about 5-10 minutes to take it off. I just unclamp it from the bed, unplug the 3rd brake light wiring, use the ratchet straps to lift it up about 3 inches, then I just drive out from under it.

    i'm not a fan of caps...if you want a cap you should buy an suv like the 4 runner. if you have a truck it needs no cap. just my thoughts lol.
