...Can that front-of-bed partition be installed/removed when a topper is installed?...
Last I talked to him he said the glass is removed from the front-of-bed section and used for the SUV kit.

I could see a door speaker as a option but might not be able to have the cubbie if they go low speaker since the cubbie is one of the options
That's what they make hole saws for. :CWL:

I would like to see how the roll bar is attached to the floor, and how the rear seat is attached. Is there a rear seat foot area that is covered when it is just a truck, like a covered storage area?
This is a pic I got of the bed last time. There are a looooot of places to bolt something down there.

Slate will have a truck in Warsaw (where the truck will be manufactured) this weekend, which gives me a chance to get more / more detailed photos than I did last time!

Soooo... Instead of searching every thread for "I wish there was a photo of X" or "I wonder if it can do X", please post here what you'd like to see me get additional pictures / videos of as well as any questions you have and I'll compose a list and do my best to get everyone's questions answered and pictures / videos taken!
Hey where is the truck going to be my son and I might drive over ?

This pic would indicate that the panel at the front of the bed will not lay flat, but will have to be removed completely to open the back of the cab to the bed.

The window on the other hand appears that it will flip up in position.

Last time I asked about it he said the roll bar is part of the kit for the shell. Will ask about seats.
It's part of the kit for sure. The question is does it need to be?

Put another way, does the shell require the rollbar or can it be installed alone, similar to the Cargo Kit's shell?

Understood.

I was referring to the lower part, not the part with the glass.

A reason you'd want that removable-bed-front-partition part installed when the topper is installed would be for safety. The partition would keep cargo from coming forward, for example during emergency braking.

And keep my dogs in the back, likely have to install some sort of upper restriction. Have dine that before when window opening was too large.

Why not call it a midgate?

He told me the roll bar was "integrated", which I took to mean attached to it and not removable (without some work anyway).
