Topper Mod...

[Joel]

So I got a wild hair to start a small snow blowing business this year and I wanted to Use my topper on my Truck to try to deter theft of equiptment. anyways, it wasnt tall enough and I needed about 4 1/2 inches and I was trying to do it fairly cheap.
I plan on attaching something to the 2x4s so you cant see the wood like diamond plate or something. I know its ghetto but it works awesome and it cost me 16 bucks

I have a 4x8 sheet of diamond plate in my garage.

The clamps are just temporary, I will be doing big bolts once I get around to it.

Is there something you are going to put between the back lift of the topper and the tailgate? I guess I would consider that ~5" opening to be a deal breaker for 'deterring thieves'. Along with the issue of snow/ice buildup inside...

The topper covers the tailgate up by 1 inch regularly so its about a 3 inch opening. Nothing that I Have in my Bed can fit through it(only Shovels and a snow blower). I will see if the ice/snow becomes a problem, if so, I will address it.
