Wind noise is non-existent. Being behind the cab must be why, because when I had this rack on my WRX, it was very noisy. Can't hear a thing on the truck though. And no, I don't use this truck for serious offroad and haven't (yet) been to a trailhead where this would be an issue. But I can...

I have thought about the same thing. The lock is a good idea, but other solutions would be welcome. My partial “solution” to this is my sliding rear window on the truck. I want to add a sliding window to the camper shell and seal the gap with a tire tube and just leave the truck window open...
The discobed is a very interesting idea. I didn't even think about "bunk bed" style setups. That could work but one would have to be big enough for the little tyke and the wife together. Or come up with his own little bed. But the impact dog crates are out of the question. $500 minimum x 2 and...
