Show me your shell!

Century Crown with Tule bars, installed $1690

 

Used ARE, traded wheels for it, like it so far, fit is great , and the quality is comparable I think.

 

Wait so you traded your 3rd gen OR wheels for 2nd gen PRO wheels AND got an ARE cap?!

 

Leer

 

No, have the stock wheels, can't hardly give those away anymore, I had a set SCS wheels that I ended up not using, and traded those. I found a good deal on the Baja's so I went that direction. I'm old, so a little bat shit crazy !!!

 

Nice! What lift and tire size?

 

4inch spindle lift in front and I made my own rear leaf pack from 87 Chevy 4x4 half ton rears . No blocks .

 

Sorry , tires are Michelin 285/70/17 on FJ wheels and nothing rubs !

 

I hope mine looks that good!

 

Oh I see. That’s a nice shell man. Super jelly of the vented windoors.

 

Thanks, they are nice when you crash back there, its not a sauna with those open, depends on the mosquitoes, the smaller screened windows will let in some fresh air. I wished it color matched a little better, but its close enough for me, silver is a tough one to get perfect.

 

Yeah , I bought this one used and it was green , my first time spraying base coat clear coat and that silver is a pain to get even !

 

Looks good, nice looking truck, before the base coat clear coat option came along, silver paint sucked, always the first to fade, and usually fell off the vehicle soon after.

 

Question with a RTT on a Topper, do you have to purchase rails from the topper factory installed or is there already factory built in mounting point like on the cab?

Stuck on the Eastcoast so my choices seem limited to ARE or LEER for a OFFRD DC LB... Not sure about Concrete color matching yet..

 

Leer 100r with carpet and roof racks!

 

You'll want the rails on there from the factory. That's really the only way on most of the shells

 

Copy, I have not started really researching RTT yet but generally do most of them mount to two pole factory installed setups or will they potentially require mods depending on manufacture and setup thx for the reply..

 

Generally there’s the two dealer installed tracks to accept a rack. From there you pick what you like. It can be as simple as two cross bars, or you can do a full rack like a front runner or prinsu.
Then your tent mounts to that.

 

For those camping out in their shell, what mattresses do y'all use? I've been looking on Amazon and there some memory foams that are reasonably priced, I just don't want to run into mold problems...
