Yup, you got that right . . . 1st thing many don't think about, but should, is that ADDED WEIGHT, and what will be required to correct for it - $$$$, ouch ! That why it helps to win a "scratch off or two, or a Mega Jackpot Lotto !
What's a stock box weigh?

AND a better insulator verses any metal framing . Add some pink or blue foam insulation wrapped in THIN "ply" (for Stephen's sake) and I could go for that too !
You've got an idea there. Not only could that help keep h2o out but also insulate for that frozen tundra overlanding.

To me something like this would be a better option than replacing the bed.

Who makes that? That's what I was thinking with J the diamondback with plywood topper.

I like this a lot... it’s getting my mind going.
Maybe you can make it tilt up, or have a tilting hatch at the front and maybe towards the front on one side...
Almost like the diamond back.

Or have a sliding tray at the top and another in the bed....

@steffen707 saw these pictures of a diamondback topper on Facebook. Not sure if we have seen pictures of this yet so I thought you would be interested. Look great.

THEIR WEBSITE SUCKS FOR PHOTOS.

this will take me forever to go through.
Yea it does... I found that it was easier on my phone.

But that video is pretty decent, almost better than the pictures because he goes through a bunch of setups.
