Specs on the platform? Interested in how you made it exactly. Looks like you just built a frame for the ply to sit on, and then put some "posts" in underneath?

Looks good!
I would bolt the cap down, the C clamps get loose and the cap walks.

What compressor are you getting?

Also, if you ever plan on getting some racks or anything for your topper, check out these guys! I can't express how much I am impressed with them.

If you spend a little more, you can get this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Master-Flow-M...AD2U/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1332885140&sr=8-4

You could then hard wire it in if you really wanted to, or at least mount it into the engine bay. Doesn't provide a 12V power supply, though.
