    I like the overhang.... might be able to use that to address some short bed carrying issues.

    What about the distribution of the load on the cap? With rails it is more widely distributed but the little feet might push through? I'm not an engineer. Can anyone shed light on the load capacity of a fiberglass cap?

    @BlackT What is the purpose of the piece circled in red? Can you provide a better picture of it? What is the piece exactly?
