2016 shell pics?

Hey not sure if you have already purchased, but you have a similar needs to me and i went with a softopper first off its half the cost and because its retractable you can keep it on year round and still haul things that require an open bed. Like a dirtbike I also like it because it will close up with a bed mat on. here are some pictures of my uses.

 

Camped in mine two weeks ago when it was dumping and stayed perfectly dry.

 

Looks a little cramped and your ankles appear swollen?

 

I was born with severe club feet had the bones shattered then regrown afterwards i had 15 different surgeries... hence the funny looking feet!

 

Damn man sorry to hear. Glad they got it fixed. Now I feel like dickheadus maximus

 

My addition to the list. Leer XR100 with sliding wingdoors.

 

Nice to see. I think I could probably sleep in a 5 foot bed pretty easily (I am 5'10''). I usually sleep in a fetal position as it is. Could stretch out diagonally too.

 

My wife and I are looking at these. Can you explain how the back window stays down? Their website says something about Velcro. For some reason I pictured it on the tailgate, but I don't see that on yours.

 

Look at a rat rack, they are out of Calgary, or sold there and there are many others like it. Attaches to the tow hitch and hangs the bikes vertically, behind the truck.

hahah no worries man if you don't know it definitely looks that way, and im stoked i get to walk and drive a bad ass truck!

 

Yea you can use velcro to get the very end flap to sit tight against the truck. But it comes with a bar that slides through the bottom of the flap through a sleeve. That clips into the railing that is attached to the truck. I kept the velcro off for my needs and it seems to be great!

 

Yep I'm 6' and i sleep slightly bent also keep in mind with 1 or 2 pillows down it actually pulls your head and neck up giving you more length also if you get cramped i put my legs up against the tailgate and that allows me to extend fully.

 

So it doesn't touch the paint? Good to know. We aren't planning on keeping it on all of the time. I hated the idea of having that Velcro strip her truck all of the time.

 

What wheels are you running?

 

do you have vents? hard to imagine staying dry if you were sealed up back there

 

Yes, actually there is a way to reverse the bar on the tale gait flap so it opens a big crack but the rain would not come in.

 

Looks great!

Does the fabric flap contact the painted area of the tailgate?
Could the top be mounted a bit more towards the front of the bed, shortening the length of the flap's overlap?

 

Bought a Leer 100r. Leaks at the front corners and the underside of the carpet gets wet on the rails toward the back ( closer to tailgate). Not excited about driving 1.5 hours back to get it fixed.

And the paint match on my MGM is ok but not great. The topper is darker than the truck.

 

Anyone have an inferno with a shell?
