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?

Its screwed to a 2x4 that lays on the wheel wells and the is 6 post to help it hold it up.

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

 

[Runner1234]

Thanks! I did bolt it down it was just clamped to get it home so i could drill holes.

Im getting a power inverter for the cab and a portable air compersser for air up bike tires and the air mattress and in the case of an emergency to air up a tire on my truck.

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.

 

[Runner1234]

No on the rack and its just a walmart comppreser its called the Masterflow 12v Basic Air Compressor.

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

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.
