hmmm, I thought I paid in November...
anyhow, premium membership is paid up...PM away!
Thinking of having a weather tarp made to cover up for overnight/not in use.
Maybe some side flaps w/ screens to allow fresh air to flow through while sleeping in it.
My crude attempt at a paint modified pic and the tarp material I plan on using. Its heavy duty truckers tarp stuff. Thoughts?

Would it be easier to have it cover the entire truck? Maybe use bumpers and rockers for tie downs?
I like it.
Have some magnets sewn in all over, boom good to go, no bungies.

I hope you have a team of good spotters, because visibility is going to SUCK!

Really?
Fwiw, Softopper sells the snap strip that goes across the top of the windshield frame separately for about $40. It would make a good attachment point. I bought one to use for a custom bikini top (one day).
I know a couple guys that have done stuff like that for their Jeeps.
Not the mass produced ones but a custom one. One buddy sewed in magnets, they are good magnets, I have seen it stay in place in some strong winds.
Make sure the tarp is water proof and I would defiantly do a couple windows.
Cool idea

Rare Earth Magnets FTW.
Make sure its tight or the flapping might keep you up. Id still have some provisions for a pair of straps just in case.
That's a really good idea. Can't wait to see what you put together on this. I would like to do something like this. Not so much for the sleeping part, more for storage.
Ive been contemplating making one to cover my engine bay from the elements.
