Bought this for $150. Called CTC and got keys for the locks. Brake light and dome light work as well. Just mounted it with foam tape and clamps and wired in the lights. My wife and son hate it because it doesn\'t match my truck. Her dad has all of the stuff to paint it and I have a budyy wanted to put Duracoat \"gloss black\" on it. He does firearms with it at his gunshop. I\'m content to leave it white though, it will just get scratched going through the woods.

The cool thing is I\'ll have a good place to sleep if I should decide to not set up and tent and stay mobile next year. My cot fits it perfectly. I thought $150 was a good deal.

It looks fine to me and should make ya a fine \"mobile camp\"... :upthumb: :upthumb:
 
Looks good to me. You will like it. A good place to keep gear safe and dry and extra headroom if you sleep in it too.
 
You\'ll appreciate the extra headroom in the back. My pickup came with a shell but it\'s the same height as the cab all the way back. Cot fits perfect but I\'m 6\'4\" so sitting on the side of the cot has my neck bent. I\'d LOVE to have that extra 4\" or more of head room!

Yep, all gear stays dry and you can stack stuff in the back without having to tie it down.
 
After I taped and re-mounted it, I ran it through the car wash. No leaks. Lights still work. Going to load it up with standard hunting gear this weekend (cot, lantern, tools, pack). Come on 2015 elk season!!!!
 
toppers in my neck of the woods are way more expensive than $150. I paid $425 for mine and I still have to paint it to match...
