Hey all, figured I'd keep this separate from my trucks thread so I can keep it focused on my camping setup.
in case you don't know my truck, here she is without the cap

Spent this past weekend cleaning the inside of the bed and cap. I also went around with caulking to seal up any leaky spots. I sealed all along the edge of the cap where it joins the bed. It's not pretty in the photo but I cleaned it up after lol.
also went around the windows both inside and out. as well as sealed up a bunch of holes in the bed from various mounting points I had previously.

I broke one of the cap clamps so that's why I'm using a wood working clamp haha. Have new ones on the way don't worry.
so here is my initial plan right now, it might, no probably will change once I actually start building it.

The giant tub of ketchup is going to be the sleeping platform. it will be made out of wood, and it will be pretty easy to remove when I want to remove it. It will have storage underneath for things like my hi-lift, shovel, axe, recovery gear etc.
The Giant pickle is my spare tire. This is the main thing I'm not sure about. I can easily mount it there and strap it down, but I also might just get a basket for the top of the cap and throw it in there.
The giant bar of butter is going to be more storage of some sort, either for tools, or maybe a spot to carry a cooler. haven't decided on that yet but it will be storage for something in that spot.
So those are the basic plans. I hope to start building things next weekend weather permitting so once that starts happening I'll post up pictures and progress. Always open to ideas and suggestions from you folks as well.
