Previous truck had 8' fiberglass topper. This method worked for me, took 15 minutes or less. Don't have to lift much over 50# at a time. Hardest part of removing/installing was crawling in to work the clamps. Used air wrench, 6 clamps. To remove: 1- take off clamps, close lift gate 2- back up to trailer. if no trailer available, planks on solid sawhorses will work. 3- lift one rear corner, place a 10' stick of 1 1/2 PVC pipe under corner 4- swing other end of pipe under other corner 5- step on trailer, open truck tailgate, walk it back using pipe as a roller. Stop before pipe rolls off truck box. 6- place furniture dolly under lift gate 7- step into front area of truck box 8- lift the front of topper & walk it back. Watch your step on the transition from truck tailgate to trailer. Reverse process to install. Current truck came with aluminum topper. Took it off 2 years ago to haul tall load, has stood on end against garage wall ever since. Took longer to write this than to do the actual task. Willie
