Hey folks, I have a fiberglass shell that I know I am not getting the most out of.
At the moment, I have a cab-height Ranch Sierra shell on my short bed truck. This has a normal double-T rear windoor. The side windows are sliding screened-in dog windows which can't be opened or used from the outside.
So far, the only mods I've done are installing a rhino rack roof rack and building a custom "decked" style drawer system out of wood. The current setup is a rough draft that has found it's way into long term use. I could see myself re-purposing or entirely rebuilding this setup depending on where my imagination takes me.
I would like to start building this setup out more. My near term plan is to swap one or both side windows to windoors so I can access the topper from the side. I have seen the camp kitchens modular systems like RSI have for the SmartCap, I'd love to do something similar to this on one side. For reference, this is what would like to mimic. I don't want this exact setup, but I love the concept.
Another Idea I've toyed with would be adding a fridge or cooler on a slide either on top of the drawers as pictured, or removing one drawer and putting the slide closer to tailgate height.
All of this is to say, I am looking for inspiration, ideas, etc. as I think through where I want to take this setup.
Thanks!
