I've been surprised by how much dust I get in the back when I'm on gravel, heading to fish. I don't seem to get much water (soft tonneau) but I've thought about a cap like yours. No liner in mine, but I do have a bed rug mat and may go to the full bedrug to knock out the dust problem once and for all. Pisses me off ... should have bought the full rug in the first place. Duh.
Meant to ask ... what coolers are you using? 12v or 120?
I remember Plymouth well. Used to go to that little Mediterranean Grill on the north side of Penniman for gyros. Man, I miss the good coney's and greek food in Detroit.

This is my 4th truck with a cap, first one with a water and dust problem. I have had open pickups and vans and for my use caps are the way to go.. Add the neat tailgate step and it works great.. But the spray in liner is hard on the knees, have a piece of plywood back there now to make it a little better.. I do have my bobcat trailer if I need to carry big tall stuff or stones/gravel.. And what's great about that is I can used the bobcat to load/unload...

I did notice today that my normally quiet as far as wind noise truck is now noisy at the driver's side,, not sure if there was a cross wind but didn't notice one or the high heat that made the change.. Will see what it like next time I get it up to speed and it's cooler out..

If you are going back via the north router, I assume I-90, Little Big Horn in Montana is absolutely worth a visit.
I haven't been though there for 20+ years, but it was one of the most memorable places I stopped on my way out to Washington state from the midwest. An amazing place of our country's history.
A great little restaurant there that serves Indian taco's. Yum Yum.

They are Coleman 12V that come with a 120V adapter, right now they are sitting in the bathroom running on 120V.. Sitting on the backseat of the truck where they get the help from the truck's A/C they work OK.. But I don't think if I had them in back they would be doing very well.. We also have a plane Coleman cooler in back with no ice and the stuff inside is actually HOT by the end of the day..
