    Yep. I'm just starting my search now. Might hold off on spending more money for a bit since I just dropped a bunch of cash on the truck, but I figure I better keep my eye out for a deal.

    Dobinson Twin Tubes. Stock.
    That looks like a great deal. That would bring at least $1000 here and be gone in an afternoon.

    I guess dudeman didn't get the quick sell he was going for. Dropped price down to $350. I bet you could beat him up for $300

    Softtopper. I'm not sure on these. I think ass dog might be able to give a better opinion on price and quality.

    The closer I look towards the left coast, the more outlandish prices become.

    Yeah, that's used dealer pricing right there. And with the other shells and stuff laying around, I'd almost think it was, save for the reflections I'm seeing in the glass.

    Another prime example. They really glued their balls to their butthole.

    Pretty fair and in good shape.
    New they're like $1200. I think I paid $600 for mine back in 2021.

    It's on a DC but looks funny. Like maybe meant for an AC.

    Thanks snek!
    I never made a full tally of cost, but it was somewhere around $3k in foam, fiberglass cloth, epoxy resin and fillers. ... and 8 months of my life. Im tuned in and learned up now so v2 would be way faster.
    v1 is way way way overbuilt.
    v2 will be getting 2 plies of glass for about 13-15 Oz per sq yard total vs the 3 plies/21-25ish Oz/s/y that v1 has. That will save some more weight/material cost and still be a strong 100% waterproof shell.

    v1 for reference:

    @Mr.bee What kind of price point are you looking for? I know a guy with a 1gt and a desire to build cool shit. Maybe we could work something out?

    Here's some text from the ad:

    V1 GoFastCamper topper - Fits 1st Gen Tundra, AC or DC cabs. *truck not included.

    V1 GFC with roof crossbars, 90 deg mounts, awning mounts, ladder.
    Trades considered! Clean early Tacoma or Pickup, or maybe another car (let me know what you got). Or Carolina Skiff 16-17' boat with trailer. Cash can work either direction to make fair trade.

    *although the Access Cab and Double Cab have different bed dimensions, the I.D. of the width and length remain almost the same, as well as the height of the cab in relation to the bed rail. GFC forum has more information, but this will fit both models, as long as you have the 6' bed.
