I totally forgot about that truck. The inspiration for this truck is the opening scene beach "ORV Race" from "The Goonies" haha!

I decided to keep and build the truck and the canopy is the perfect accessory. Truth be told, I like yours the way the last photo shows it, but sometimes a canopy can be so practical.

One more mention of the movie/tv trucks that popped up on your thread. I started a thread about those here:

Man I can't tell you how much fun it is to drive and yeah I really need my tilt wheel conversion to be done because my large belly gets in the way of jumping in. My 5 yo forgot he was in a lifted truck the other night and stepped out into the abyss (gravel) face first and my 5-3 wife needs a hand getting in. In stock form the truck completely blended in, now it's breaking necks. My son Tanner is really stoked to drive it with the nice weather. He and I are both wanting the camper, I have a couple of camping trips this spring/summer and he needs space for baseball gear. I don't think it will be permanent though.
