I was home this weekend up in Massachusetts and we were doing yard work. I had to take the cap off my Ram 3500 dually (full-sized bed). It's a Leer fiberglass cap and weighs about 200-250 pounds. It took four of us to get it off (using two 2x4's) and we were really struggling. Now the top is still sitting on my utility trailer because I didn't want to bother the neighbors again to help put it back on (and because I'll probably need it off again on my next visit home).
So how do you guys remove/install your cap? How do you store it when it's off the truck?
I was thinking of buying these saw horse brackets:
Then creating a set of horses that are five feet high and ten feet wide. I could unhook the cap, slip the 2x4x10's under the cap and attach them to the brackets. Once done, I could simply pull away and the cap would stay up on the horses.
So what say you of the great Saw Mill Creek???
Be well,
Doc
