I go camping in my aluminum truck topper in the summer, and I don't worry about the (sometimes violent) thunderstorms we get up here in the mountains. In theory, the metal shell of the car body and truck topper should act like a Faraday cage if it was struck by lightning.
How is that going to work with a Bronco with a plastic MIC top or fiberglass MOD top?
I'm concerned you'll lose the Faraday effect and then your watery meatsack is fair game as a ground path for the lightning. Thoughts? Has anyone else seriously thought about this?
