    I'm aware of the wait time on these things as it took 8 weeks for my topper to come in....

    I was just on the phone with the local dealer and Im going to check out Monday and order one...

    Some Z pics for you. Not old man in my book. I really like bed racks too... just can't fit my fridge and stuff under a tonneau. IMG_9087.jpgIMG_8600.jpgIMG_8793.jpgIMG_8827.jpgIMG_8073.jpgIMG_8750.jpgIMG_7496.jpg

    Is that the same truck in all photos? One looks like a limited and the other a TRDOR

    Looks good regardless

    That's because it looks more SUV'ish with a shell on the short bed.

    Haha yeah my wife says the same exact thing. I like the look of a nice ARE shell or SnugTop. Put a Baja rack across the top of it and the truck and you got yourself a good looking truck with Tons of added real estate!! Like @dan0mite . Maybe he could share a good pic of his setup.

    A camper shell has absolutely nothing to do with being old and that kind of non-thinking it is just a sad demonstration of the level of ignorance running amuck nowadays. Buy a shell if it suits your needs. Buy the wife a bicycle if she doesn't want to ride in a truck with a shell. Young people ride bikes. Old is everyone's tomorrow.
