    I've tried mine on my tailgate like some of the folks on here have done but I didn't really like how it fit. I also wanted to put some of that clear protective film on my tailgate but the local 3M place wanted almost $300, IIRC, and they wouldn't sell it to me to do myself.

    There's a guy on ExPO who was making some really nice bags that were a little smaller but cleaner looking, not that old haversack look. Not sure where he is on the project but I think he was a former rigger and made a lot of his own gear- all really nice and professional looking.

    I did what you're talking about, just make sure your license plate is visible. Got pulled over for that, luckily pregnant wife at the time was driving so office went easy on her

    Thank you.
    Camper shell door closes OK? I guess that is my main concern. Thanks again.

    You cause you know driving and dirt road vibrations don't cause any movement.
