    Are there any manufacturers that make a shell that pops straight up? I know Gaia makes a wedge style shell (w/o canvas)… Saw an old vw today and thought it would be a great application on a cap. I’ve considered the topper ez lift but feel this would be better since it wouldn’t be supporting nearly as much weight.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I’d like to see one that opens like an old tool box. I guess that won’t ever happen. IMG_2472.jpg

    Unless you have a wife that makes endless lists of shit to do around the house!
    A portion of the list is fixing stuff she breaks!

    That looks like about a 1979 Bus. I had one for 4 years, not a pop up. Fun to drive around.
