I like bags, pouches, containers that can hang or snap on or velcrowed up to hold stuff. Boxes are fun too, they can be hung on walls and taken out in seconds with a rack system.
Red and black look good!

If it were me, I'd want the same design all the way around.

The back and drivers side are set and you can see them below. One thing that isn't shown is I may add a 1" strip on the roof that matches the color of the truck.
For the passengers side (yes I know that side isn't shown) I am considering the ones below. Let me know what you think. One thing I did is make sure there is no, or at least very minimal, areas that are just sold black. I don't want that because it will show scratches more.
1. I like this one since it incorporates the topo from the drivers side.
2. A variation of above with the topo showing very clearly in the mountain and tree outlines. The red on the mountains will match the truck. Still have the topo in the black but not as bright as above.
3. Same as above but with a wilderness scene in the mountain and tree outlines.
4. This one uses a forest as a background and the topo as an overlay. This one is interesting because it ties in the drivers side and the back.
This could change but I think the order I am leaning at now is 4, 3, 2, 1. Again, would love to hear from all of you reading this.

I would match the two sides, lolThe back and drivers side are set and you can see them below. One thing that isn't shown is I may add a 1" strip on the roof that matches the color of the truck.

Yeah I know. I think that last one matches/blends the two the best. It also matches/blends with the back.
Thanks for the input.

I like 2, or 3. I would also match though. However you, do you. 
I tend to lean more abstract for things like this… so while the bears are rad, i would tire of such a realistic image. Also, WHEN you take some chunks out of the wrap, the topo, maps, and abstracted mountains all should be more forgiving in how they show any damage. Of your presented options. I like the grey-on-black versions best as opposed to the stark black&white ones.
Funny to me, you used such a nice black aluminum, just to cover it all up.

Yeah we are thing about this the same. On the bear, I think 80% of the bear is on the door and when I am in camp the door is usually open. So I won't see it a ton.
I decided to wrap it because of two reasons. First is the ACM isn't as strong as I had hoped. So I am now hoping a 6 mil wrap will help add some durability. Second, is the big black camper was a little boring on the big red truck.
Thanks for the input.
Thanks @Pacific Northwest yetti to you as well.

Hmmm, I may have to make a cover for the grizzly during hunting season?
Welcome to the build thread and thanks.

That is a good idea. It can just be one of those static cling ones that I can put on every year.

I think I need a bigger truck!
Maps... pick one from your favorite area to camp and get them to render it from that.
