    These are the two things I am looking to do right now... I like.

    You know I couldn't tell you. Not sure I even fully understand. Though by pictures, when you say frameless you are talking about glass up to the body of the cap for that flush look right?
    Can someone chime in? Snugtop? I see they liked my pic!

    The nuts to attach the webbing were 1/4" fine thread. Yakima/A.R.E.
    Just to save you 30 seconds. :thumbsup:

    (Oh yeah and I melted holes through the webbing by using an old wood burning pen.)

    The mis-matched color actually doesn't look too bad in my opinion if ya had to live with it. Ha.

    Anyways, I've been looking around at possible shell candidates for a near future purchase. My question is: What shell would best be suited for eventually mounting a Rooftop Tent? I'm looking for something rugged, prefer sliding windows, and I would like to stay around $1,000; course, may end up spending more. Seems like these things are near impossible to find for a long bed!

    I had been looking for awhile and realize how hard it is to find a 5' topper. Priced out new and couldn't stomach the cost. Was surfing kijiji and stumbled across this one while searching for other Taco parts, super stoked on it!

    Has anyone installed a roof rack from a junkyard or elsewhere themselves? I'm looking to add one to mine.
