Show us your Camper Shell for DCLB

Looks good! What is your lift & tire size?

 

288s & single AAL w/ 5100s @ 0. 265/75/16

 

3 inch lift icons and heavy Dakar’s 315/75/16s

 

Link to Hondo Garage's setup?

 

What shell is this? Lines look great! Sometimes I wonder if I should've gone with a hi-rise rather than Rebel

 

Any details/step-by-step on the wiring of those switches/ports? I'm looking to do the exact same thing. Also, did you dust-proof that cubby?

 

My experience with doing this is the constant sun beating down heats up the adhesive and it gives up after a few months. I've struggled to mount things like that.

 

Looks great, what is your suspension and tire setup?

 

I installed OME 885 coil overs with an AAL in the back & the tires are KO2s 285/75/16.

 

@jimbo805 did you do the CMC to avoid rubbing? Swap the UCAs? I've got 265/75/16 on 888s w/ 5100s @ 0 and am about as far the stock UCAs will go. Thought about going to 285s next set but don't care to also do the CMC and UCAs just to fit tires I don't actually need.

 

@gsubioguy I just installed the coil overs and added the leaf.. the rubbing doesn’t really bother me and only happens when I turn it real hard. I have a few buddies that have been running a similar set up for awhile and it doesn’t bother them either.

 

@jimbo805 Must be right on limit of UCAs on angle and ture sidewall. But that is awesome! Might just go that route when it's time for new tires. Thanks!

 

This pic reminded me that I should share a PSA for all you camper shell owners.

If you are ever backing your truck into the garage at night, and the garage lights look brighter than they normally do in your rear view mirror?

Stop and lower your shell window.

Ask me how I know.

 

Ouch! (I don't get the garage--Mrs does.) But dad has had to replace his back glass twice!

I wish my back glass hinged a bit higher but it doesn't go higher than the rack so isn't a worry. Now, I have driven into the garage with bikes on the roof when I had my 1st gen & no cap. Multiple holes through the roof the second time.

 

yeah man I think you’ll be alright but like you said don’t really need 285s but they look great haha

 

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like that one could be the Century High-C model. I have the Leer 180.
It's my understanding that Leer and Century are part of the same company, or at least were at one time.
And the cap designs are essentially the same.

 

Looking at possibly ordering a new cap as my blazing blue pearl is hard to find. If I want to add my own rack later can I do that with the rack install? I really don't like the Thule rack the dealer wants to install.

 

Just get the tracks. Leer/Century/Snug use Thule ARE uses Yakima but the rails are essentially the same and likely not made by Thule or Yakima. Tracks only no crossbars would save you about $350

 

That's a lot of snow judging by the wall behind the truck!
