or you could just use the pick up bed as a way to transport such items

Break the top with a hammer to create bed-fill and then you can strap it to the top of the bed.

modern fridges are like 330 pounds

Literally this.

>>17880333
first of all you need to explain why you are doing this at all?
why not just take the topper off first? what is the purpose of leaving it on?

wew i dont know where to start with this plethora of material so ill just leave it be

get a trailer to pull behind the truck
first of all its much more difficult to secure a load to a roof not designed for it than it seems.
(see pic related)it was a harrowing 10 miles))
also the first time you try to put something heavy on it (such as a refrigerator) it will in a best case scenario fall off of the top and kill someone
worst case scenario. it will either make the topper collapse or if you managed to secure it properly it will make the truck so top heavy that it will flip the fucker and kill you
a cheap trailer from craigslist is the way to go

ok then a fridge is too heavy. how much weight can i load on a run of the mill roofrack? 50lbs? 5pallets?

>>17880480
dont know depends on the rack
im tellin you just get a shitty cheap trailer on craigslist
in my area theres tons in the 200-500 dollar range

is registering one of these pieces of crap easy to do in california? and how about driving one these around and parking it in california? and are they easily stolen cuase i wanna be able to dive around slabcity with it unhooked but not stolen. remove a wheel everytime i park it?

i have a bumper hitch but if im never towing more than like 500lbs (trailer weight included) then i should be alrgiht? ya?

also no one has mentioned a ladder rack that fits around the topper
althought i imagine that in itself would weight around 200+lb

>he needs a rack to strap shit to his roof
I'm sorry your roof is made of daipers

>>17880653
I just folded up some canvas dropcloths to avoid scratches last time I strapped stuff to the roof. You have to be a bit clever about where and how to anchor the straps but it worked great.
