    None. They are all custom. You need to find a used Tacoma long bed shell, or pay out the *** for a new one. :D

    That looks really good! One question for you....does the cap mount over the factory bed rail guards or are they removed?

    Thanks! The Snugtop must go low enough to cover the bed caps. I have seen some shells that don't as you can still clearly see the bed caps under them.

    Snugtop covers the bed rail caps. They are great caps, very well made. A little off topic, but for the people who have replacement springs, which ones provide a good ride, and good quality for people who have caps? What springs does everyone run? Thanks.

    Yes the snug top rebel mounts on top of the bed caps. It installs easily.

    how do these shells perform for high speed off roading? there is a lot of flex between my cab and my bed, sometimes it shakes furiously from what i can see in my sideview mirror.. how does that mating surface between the two hold up?

    I've done 1000 miles off road since 2012 with my shell. Did it all with Toyota factory off road suspension. No problems to speak of.

    I've still got about two weeks before my shell gets here. Can't wait to post some photos here once I get it on my truck.

    Its an ARE MX Series, Long Box, Yakima rack with 58" bars, sliding vented Windoors, fold down sliding front window and has carpet interior. Since I have a long box I plan on building a sleeping platform and adding a second auxiliary battery system.

    If you have a rack over the cab of the truck as well as the canopy do you think cab flex between the cab and the canopy would be enough to damage something you strapped or mounted onto both racks? I want to mount another rack over my cab and share the load of my Aluminum 12' Car Topper Boat between the truck and the canopy. I emailed ARE and they said their canopies are rated to hold 150 pounds in motion. Not sure of the exact weight of my boat but somewhere around 125 pounds. However, because of the drag of the boat and the fact that the roof racks are very close together on the MX series shell I think its best to split the load onto the trucks cab as well the canopy's rack.

    Do you think cab flex would be enough to damage the hull of my boat offroad if I had the boat tied down too tight? I guess I'd have to get some sort of stretchy tie down strap to allow for some cab flex. Do you guys think this would work without damaging the boat?

    I have an ARE Z series that is leaking at the back glass. It leaks when it is closed and drips a lot to the inside when I open the back glass. Any suggestions?
