Agree. It takes a different approach to toppers. You can see this in the design; it allows the owner a lot of options. Especially with a turret hatch, which, if the owner is able, can be used to enter or leave an overhead tent with a zippered floor opening in inclement weather. This topper may spawn some cool accessories.

That's a good point regarding ventilation if a tailgate tent were attached. I could get into a set-up like that.

We are in CO and we are not currently offering colors. This maybe something we do in the future but the raw carbon look is killer in person. You should come to SEMA and check it out!

Where is your both going to be located at SEMA?

Wow very innovative design and approach. Well done!

That said, the one thing that keeps me away from toppers like this, AluCab, GFC, SmartCap, etc., is the lack of keyless entry. Having to lock/unlock a keyed latch every time is a non-starter. Honestly, I'm pretty surprised this hasn't been addressed by any of the manufacturers or aftermarket. Seems like a no brainer...

Thanks for sharing this innovative concept. Can you elaborate on more details of this full pre-order? I ask because it's not something I'm typically comfortable with in general.
-Technically one could remove the lock hardware or modify the lock to not require a key and thus be keyless entry, of course it wouldn't be a keyless lock in that case, just keyless entry...

Dang that's sweet!

Think about that turret hatch, one that is attachment capable of mounting something built like a surplus HUMMER gun turret ring, sized appropriately, that rotates and elevates. Strong but light. Easily mountable/removeable similar to Picatinny. Maybe out of 7075 aluminum alloy. Hunters use shooting sticks or a bipod for stability so why not? Could also mount a spotting scope. Lighting options inside for night vision conditions. Sorry, going back to my M113A1 and Bradley days.

Love the ideas. We spent a lot of time dialing in a simple and useable system catered to the off road, recreation, and hunting communities. There may be some defense-type applications, but we are not focused on that for now.

We do plan to make accessories that support hunting setups, photography equipment, etc.

Thank you!

Not 100% sure what you mean by option?

It will be an option in our configurator tool, but it also provides a ton of creative options for how you can actually use it.

We will be at booth #54018 in the West Hall near Ford Performance, and King Shocks.

Love the ideas. We have floated the idea of a RTT option with an access hole through the turret. We think a full topper RTT setup at around 200lbs would be very appealing to a lot of folks.

For people like me who enjoy the outdoors and hunting, being 70 takes its toll. In Kansas I can hunt from a vehicle with a special permit per K.S.A. 8-1,124. Having a turret with an access port allows me to stand up with support, and if I had a ring mount attachment, I could add a rifle support and a spotter. If you don't need that, the turret hatch is still there. You have opportunity by being unique until the competition catches up when any patents expire, so why not appeal to the broadest possible market if it can be manufactured even as an option?

Very nice. I’ll be watching this product, I’m definitely interested. Also in CO, if you ever need guinea pig trucks

Huge props to having plans on opening up ID.me/govX/etc down the line. When it’s another vet owned business I never do it, but major $corp I will. Good lookin out.

You definitely can get a ton of ventilation with all the windows open and the turret hatch removed. What kind of tailgate tents have you been running?

It's likely the cost/time commitment to include keyless entry as a standard option. We will explore a keyless entry system as an option for the future. Feedback like this is incredibly helpful.
