Wow…
You need to get your priorities straight….
That should a been the FIRST upgrade.
Looks nice though. I’m planning to do something similar. Like the MOLLE panels, just want to keep the pioneer tools outside I think.

Truck camping out of my 6ft box Taco was pretty sweet... Another reason I hate my 5ft box 1500...
It does complete the look.

That’s how I have mine as well, less the hard top. I went with a soft top so I can remove it when I need the bed space. Then I attach it to an SUV tent so I have a place to dry clothes. It’s the perfect pro strat for truck camping.
I'd buy a generator and get electric heaters. Just in case you want to run all night. That's what I do. mtmuley

I’ve got a question for you all. How many spiders have you had get into your truck bed with one of these toppers on?
The reason being my wife and I for years have been talking about getting a camper set up for our next vehicle. She really wants a camper van, something that is all self contained and seals up tight.
I want a pickup with one of these cabover toppers. It seems way more versatile, as we can still use the truck bed for daily uses or take it off if we need to haul large items, plus the truck will have greater ground clearance than a van, which will be a boon on these logging roads.
Her main objection? “Spiders will get in, and I’ll wake up covered in them” (I should note she has a VERY strong, deep rooted fear of spiders, and they seem to always crawl on her. Can’t say why, they leave me alone, but no kidding it’s like they seek her out to perch on).
I’m pretty sure any modern truck bed with a topper will seal up tight enough to keep out all but the most determined spiders, but I’ll let you all tell me.
So, what’s your experience been on that?

Haven’t seen many spiders but I did have some mice in there at one point.
