YES! I've been thinking on this for the whole winter so now that it's warm enough outside to do some of this work I'm going to do something very similar.
versatility and personalization are 2 of the main reasons I bought a hybrid Maverick besides the gas savings and the Flated topper, in my eyes, is a perfect match but everyone has their own needs.
to explain a little better I mean glue the plywood strips to the foam to give you something to screw hinges and other door hardware. I really love the idea of fabricating my own camper shell but the Flated topper is so easy, light weight and inexpensive it's hard not to want to go that route.
you could glue strips of 3/4" plywood to the foam board and then wrap it in resin and fiberglass. I spent a couple of years watching videos of people fabricating their own campers and dream of doing it myself but I don't have a garage :-(
I like this solution except I would fabricate the extension from foam board insulation covered in fiberglass or poor man's fiberglass. It would be much lighter in weight.
this is one option I was thinking of except using the Flated topper. Yours is a hard shell.
and to those commenting about slicing open the Flated topper, I live in Vermont so maybe in my little bubble that kind of thing is pretty rare. Although the Flated can be mounted on the truck all the...

I've seen YT videos of guys making light weight campers with foam board insulation and fiberglass. Looks really doable for a handy person with a garage.
am I correct saying the purpose of the turbo is to compress air/raise pressure to the intake and the air is run through the intercooler which cools the air. Cooler air condenses and thus the pressure goes down. Can you compensate for the drop in pressure by making the air channel from the turbo...
