My Boyfriend's Truck: the build, in the order it happens
Truck builds follow a reliable sequence: storage, then sleeping, then the cosmetic things nobody needs. This page sticks to the first two, because they are the ones that change how the truck gets used rather than how it looks parked.
One warning applies to everything here: fit is specific. Bed length, model year and roof rack weight ratings all matter, and none of it is returnable once installed.

Storage first
Locked, weatherproof drawers with a load-bearing deck on top. Confirm the exact year and bed length before ordering.
Then sleeping
Hard shell means it pops up in under a minute — the difference between a rooftop tent that gets used and one that lives in a garage.

His Truck FAQ
What should I buy for my boyfriend's truck?
Bed storage, if he uses the bed for gear. It is the upgrade that changes how the truck works daily, and it is expensive enough that he probably has not bought it himself. Confirm his exact year, model and bed length first.
Is a rooftop tent worth it?
If it is hard shell, yes — sixty seconds from parked to in bed. Soft shell tents need wrestling with a cover in the rain and get used far less. Check the roof rack's dynamic weight rating, not just static.
What is the first truck upgrade to make?
Storage and recovery gear before anything cosmetic. A lift kit changes how it looks; a bed system changes how often the truck is actually useful.
