    Thanks for the likes. I don't know exactly how much weight is there but I'm estimating about 1000#. I have firestone airbags to help with the weight, they are awesome! I just need some better shocks, OEM just don't cut it with that much mass.

    It helps a bunch when you pull up on a job and don't have to look for anything. Even my helper know where everything goes.

    Saving both time and badwords lol if you plan to keep stock height, Rancho's RS9000XL might interest you, their stiffness is adjustable.... I have them on my truck but I don't adjust them lol but you might find it cool haha

    I like your set-up! I have been thinking of how to build a split-floor plan; bed on one side with room on the other for cooler/gear.

    Thanks

    Quick fist clamps w/ bolts, washers to fit the bed rail track.. they work great, have to tighten on occasion and a little more often for the heavier gear (Axe). But a super easy, inexpensive & quick way to mount stuff.

    Do you have a pic of how you're attaching the clamps to your rail?

    I picked up my cap a couple weeks ago and have been slowly (key word) building my platform for the back.
    I wanted something that can be set-up/removed with ease, and can serve multiple functions.

    Here are some pictures of the platform. The side boxes are secured to the bed with brackets, and the middle platform is removable:

    The platform (and camper shell in general) is an on going build. I wanted to get it built for cheap (It was <$200CAD) and start using it to see what additions I actually need.

    Thoughts for the future are:
    -100W Solar set-up w/ marine battery and all electrical things
    -On Board Air
    -On Board Water

    Very nice. I have a hinged box forward, and wish I had a hinged top in the rear, too. Looks good.

    Do you get much sag when you kneel onto the rear of the platform, full weight?
