    Bit of a longshot … but anyone on here with a 2nd Gen and a DCU cap with barn doors?

    Looking for an overall length measurement (with or without the front “L” bracket)- as well as a “tailgate” height measurement (ie bottom of door up to where it bumps out for the bed sides)

    Thanks!

    I know this is an old thread but which DCU model is this? What is the internal height from the bed rails to the top?

    I can confirm that a 3rd gen DCU with barn doors will fit on a 2nd gen. Nearly perfectly. Just needs some extra foam up front to fill the 1” gap at the bed rail, and maybe a few extra pieces in the back.

    May I ask the height from bed top to top of the cap, 26 or higher. I’m looking at this for a 2019
    With 1 window the size you have and paint it flat black with maybe a pinch of silver mixed in to go with the cement color? Any chance of more pictures?Thank you

    I like to sleep in my truck.
    Here's mine! I gutted the toolbox. I have a full length bed mat. But I really don't like the contractor look. Should I paint it? Vinyl wrap? Any recommendations? Also, should I preemptively upgrade the suspension if i want to leave it on full time?? I don't have anywhere to store it otherwise.

    Checking to see if you were able to use a different handle and it works to be able to open and lock from the inside. If so can you post some info for them. Thanks

    The plan:
    -Replace side rails with KB voodoo rail covers. Should lower about 1"
    -Roof rack.
    -Camper roof rack. Install awning from my previous bed rack.
    -Install vent windows for my dog.
