Method Wheels Toyo A/T Tires Snugtop shell More To Come
Looking to design my own GFC style topper. Not a wedge camper but a shell. I would prefer to use 80/20 and composite panels. Literally a DIY version of the GFC. (pics attached) Just wondering if someone/ anyone has experience and can direct me in the right way when it comes to what materials used / gas strut installation, design, and all the good stuff. Please feel free to leave me any knowledge/ advice you have. Thanks
