When I need to pick up materials there's no benefit from a shell because it all sticks out the back anyway. When I have to haul big things, the shell has to come off, and those fiberglass tops just get heavier every year (I have a system to do it solo, but it's still not easy). Your comments made me start thinking the whole approach over. If I don't go with the top I definitely want those outside hooks though, so add me to the list as fer them.

Boy I sure hear ya on those toppers getting heavier every year! They make kits to add cross bars to them, don't know the load ratings, would that help? (yeah u may then need a step stool, but I need done for Blue when I wash her or work under the hood... and I'm 6-4.
I like the TR40 for interior space but want that bed length (the "workin" part of the truck) so hope the accessories show up shortly after launch so I can evaluate as a package.
cheers,
