... Just an opening so that they can communicate and get some cabin air on hot days when we need the AC to cool things off for them back there too...
Hi Ryan of Flated Guy. The member's comment above prompted a question in my mind - if cooled a/c air from the cab is allowed into the bed area through the open forward window of your topper, how well or long would you say that air remained cool, say if you did have dogs in the back or even an ice chest filled with food/drinks/ice? Would your bulb seal kit sort of seal off the gap between the cab window and the topper? I realize your topper isn't really intended or designed as an insulated unit, but just wanted to get an idea on this aspect. Thanks.

And here's the 20% forum discount applied to the cab-high version as an example:

Thanks for the question, posting the deal.

The AC topic? I honestly don't think you could rely on the trucks A/C air to make it from the small window into the topper. I will try to take some temperatures inside and out the next few days. I'm in Montana though and while we are in the hottest days of the year, its only in the 90's which I know is nothing compared to AZ or other places. I would not leave my dog in the back at these temperatures, but am totally comfortable leaving my bow (in a case) coolers full of cold beverages, luggage, etc in the back. Its way better than leaving them in an open bed under direct sunlight if that makes sense.

@FLATED Guy any chance we can use the code on your other products? I'm definitely interested in one of the rack type boxes!

So, if I fill the to with helium instead of compressed air how high will my truck float?
Putting an industrial floor fan in the back and plugging the fan into the heavy duty outlet and then starting up the hybrid traffic will no longer be a problem.

Would be very nice to see a back view of the cab high version. Really interested in this for when I go back packing or head out of town. The bed is so small i prefer to not have a tonneau or anything on it most the time anyway.

What's the total bed height with the cab high version installed?

Curious, does anyone have experience with goats not tearing/eating this thing yet?

You are thinking a goat wouldn’t nibble a bit at the seems??? I give it ten minutes before it’s shredded by goats.

Any white color available? A dark sack of air in the south heats up way too quick. Used to float black trash bags on hot sunny still days to humor the kids.

Admittedly we have not spend much time focusing on Goat owners. But one of our co-founders did have a nasty mini goat named George for a while. We was our mascot when we Launched.

Only grey at the moment, and yes it can get hot. But we have tons of customers from the south and AZ.

Watching video’s doesn’t seem dark gray as the pictures. Any Maverick videos with the high top version? Priced well, on the fence. Like the way you attach to the bed rim with J hooks. Smart! Me and the those C style don’t get along,
