    Camper shell/topper identification

    don't load the roof. this cap style isn't made for it. yeah, you can get away with it for a while, but then you'll wonder why the truck has squeaks & leaks. even the heavy hitters with mega trucks deny any good coming from loads up high. the purpose of the cap is to cover whatever is in the bed.

    expedition VW beetle

    i've seen several photos of VWs w/ RTTs. if they're a not too good of an idea on a 6K# truck, i can't see they'd be any better on a Bug. Rodrigo is getting the idea:

    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!
