When camping or driving through the woods at night, we need side lighting, but I don't always want to install a roof rack. So this idea came to me: a pod bracket that clips onto the rain...
I think the price premium for the bed cap is quite high, and if we compare it to the price, we still have plenty of cost headroom. But making this thing better, rather than cheaper, is an interesting strategy.
We've also considered fixing some sliding panels to the tailgate to seal it, but...
This is a valuable point!
Obviously, making everything smaller is more cost-effective and weight-saving, which isn't difficult. If the dimensions are shortened to around 3 inches, a single piece of 4080 aluminum could handle everything, similar to the thread I posted above. I'm just not sure how...
Thank you for your detailed suggestions!
Polyethylene panels would require us to develop molds, which would incur higher R&D costs, but they clearly offer a significant weight reduction and still get the job done. Furthermore, if I purchased a polyethylene + metal product, I'd feel it was a more...
Yes, it's very similar! We want the tailgate to open 270 degrees until it's flush against the sides of the body. Opening it 90 or 180 degrees would leave two metal plates suspended in mid-air, and I don't want them to hit a child's head.
But we're likely to abandon this design because the...
We started this project around June of last year, but it was put on hold because we couldn't resolve the tailgate seal issue.
Seeing this thread a couple of days ago rekindled my interest...
Thanks! I didn't mean to hijack your post, but you just reminded me of all this. LOL. I'll create a new thread to share our thoughts and progress with everyone.
Back on topic, I didn't see how you opened the cover, but it seems you nailed a long aluminum profile to the end of the cover, which I...
More renders if you're interested... We initially considered adding some molle, but later abandoned the idea because some people I asked said they didn't need it.
Our idea was to make it flush with the bottom edge of the rear glass window so as to minimize interference with the rear view. We were also wondering if it was necessary to add some rails on the outside to get additional fixing points, but the tailgate part was difficult to handle, so we put the...
Aha, we didn't expect someone to come up with something similar!
The reason we held off on launching a new product last year was because we were constantly testing and refining the bed extension system. We still have some kinks to work out, so here are some of our ideas. Our idea is to extend...
