Shell or no Shell

I picked up a 2019 TRD OR and put a Bakflip MX4 on which I think looks sharp. However, lately I have been thinking about a shell and can't make up my mind. I am mostly interested in how it will look versus function.

What would look better - the Bakflip MX4 or a shell?

I know a first world problem but keeping going back and forth so looking for some opinions.

 

So, no utility questions or considerations, just what looks better? First world problems indeed!

 

Ditch the BakFlip and buy a cap.

 

I have been thinking shell myself. Not a fan of shells on most trucks but I actually like the look on a taco.

 

Good one - I know the utility of shell versus no shell. Everyone has a different take an what looks good so was just looking for thoughts.

 

This is what you NEED

Put a shell on it, and then post a question about poor mileage in a few weeks.

 

This would be nice but don't do enough camping to justify it.

 

I'd go with a shell more storage, and I personally like the way they look.

 

i'm biased...

 

I have a shell . I have had trucks with no cover , and with covers . There used to be a problem with blind spots but now we have a monitor for that so it is more like having a lock on your house or not . Open bed truck is like an unlocked garage /house but where ever you are at the time . Also does it matter if what you keep gets wet or not ? Where do you live and where do you go ?
Shells are deemed for old guys , but useful for campers and such .

 

I have seen this picture - very nice - this is what starting me thinking...

If someone can post the same with a silver truck I just might pull the trigger.

 

Soft shell!

 

Lifted shell looks good with a slight lift and slightly oversized tires

Seems like more realestate is better than less.

It’s not like you can’t take it off when needed either

 

thanks for watching the vids

 

Love your videos and love your truck mate!

 

Are you using a bed stiffener? Any thoughts of if really needed or not if not a lot of weight on top?

And these are only stock 31’s

Thanks for watching

Yes I am. I did it because I offroad.
