We have taken a few trips now and are still working a bit on inside cabinetry. We added a bag awning, welded up a propane cage that holds three 20 pound tanks under the flatbed and has a diamond plate aluminum front to match the other boxes, and welded up a really nice trailer hitch that bolts to the Mansfield bar.
This week we needed to take the truck in for regular service and decided to de-pod. While the pods were off of the truck, we removed all of the old wood flatbed, purchased three 20 foot lengths of new Apitong and mounted them. We covered them with 1/4" rubber screwed down and also fasted the same rubber to the top metal edge of the flatbed frame. The pods are now still well supported but we are ~600 pounds lighter. 600 pounds of junk, I mean cargo, we can add.
