Response: Yes it still needs to be moved. It could be transported as you describe. I would absolutly move it that way if I needed to move it locally. I am not sure how it would do at highway speeds. It's basicly a pickup camper shell. Hope this helps you. Thank you for the intrest. Shipper (1/28/2008)

Response: hello again, I've got another question. If I had an atv in the back of my pickup and it sticks over the tailgate would this cap be tall enough to fit over it (atv) and not touch including the back door area or the cap (if it is hinged). I have the possibility of an atv from IA coming out to San Diego area. Let me know and I'll do the same if the atv falls thru. Thanks Mike@highwaymantrucking (2/2/2008)

Response: It might work. You would probably need to put it on backwords. This shell is very similar to a standard pickup shell except it as a little more roof area that covers the driver and passanger. It is really only appearant in the third picture. The overall inside width is about 57" and the over all length is about 85". The hieght is about 25 to 27 inches. I don't know how big the ATV is so I don't really know. I believe you said you would put it on 2 x 4 that would rest on your bed. That would work but you would need to add some small 2 by blocks to support the walls of the shell. This would keep the top from distorting when you strap it down. Hope this helps, thanks again for looking. Chris (2/3/2008)

Response: I'll use the dimensions you sent and check them out with the atv I've got here already. One thing that came into my head last nite is what you're saying about the back the box rails. Not sure yet how it'd work. The atv in IA may not work on buyers end, I'd also like more money on his load since it's a longer distance and a bit of time in it. So I'll let you know. Thanks for the response. Might be working with you. Bye (2/3/2008)

Response: What I was thinking is a 2x4 that is as wide as the top of your truck bed. Centered on that would be a 57" 2x4 that would make a 4x4 in the center section and 2x4 wings outside of that. Kind of a yoke. You would need a couple of these (maybe 3) that would rest on your bed. After these are on your be you would then set the shell on that. After the shell is set you would then want to attach another 2x4 length wise with the shell and attach it to the 2 or 3 cross pieces on each side. What I'm thinking is that this creates a channel that keeps the sides of the shell from squashing out or in when you sinch it down. You could use small pieces of 2x4 on the ends of the sleeper but I like the long pieces that run parallel to the shell because they tie all the sleepers together. Let me know it this makes sense to you. (2/5/2008)

Response: At this time I'm not sure if I'm coming that way or not. The first atv fell thru so I'm after another that located in KanCty. Not sure about him or not, lots of problem on his brother meeting p/u person. How sturdy is the shell? I don't plan on tightening it down more than just keeping it in place- not much pressure with the strap over the top. What I was going to do was put 2 4x4 across the bed rails from side to side(I've got a small crinkle in the top bed rail near the rear that pokes up almost an inch and is about 4inches long)and just place the cap over the top and strap down right where the 4x4 are. That way theres not much twist on the cap. My idea is could a 2x4 be bolted to the bottom of the cap and the that would protect the edge from twisting and then it would set on the 4x4. The front would not even have to be done since it would be alomost six inches from the box. Let me know it this way would be okay with you.With bumps and such the 2x may come outifnotsecured to cap.
