LOL! If I get the opportunity sometime, I will get it up that way. Always interested in meeting people and learning new ideas. I was at the shop last night and my Bro-N-Law was putting a new convertible top on a Sebring. I ask the guy what he was planning on doing with the old top. He say he was going to pitch it. It still looks new. The gears started turning. I asked if I could snag it. I'm gonna take a look and see if I can make it into a tonaue cover for this small bed. Heck I am not out anything. If it works great and if not it can go in the trash. I figure this whole Jeep Project has been put together by scrap anyway. LOL! I'll try to do it like my Fire Department's Brush Truck. It's cover is simply velcro and holds great.

This is the truck at my Fire Department that has the cover attached with velcro. Can't see the cover in the pic but it'll give ya an idea that nothing on it would just be thrown together. It's Sharp. It's the one in the lower left corner.

Yeah that's an idea and the thought crossed my mind. But something like that usually is put on as part of the cab and is access to the interior. My cab is all sealed of and wouldn't really benefit me to have it like that. And I'd have to look out two back glasses. LOL.
