Best Camper Shell

I forgot to add a pic of mine.

 

Snugtop has something called the Sportsmen package which adds additional reinforcement to the top. I just bought it because you can’t add it later. But it will hold a rooftop tent and your weight of at least two larger people no problem.

 

Snugtop does as well.

 

I have had three different SnugTop shells and the quality has always been top notch

 

Snugtop Rebel, sportsman package. I have had other brands in the past, this one has great quality, and a nice fastening system.

 

I like how you painted the “Toyota” badge on your tailgate handle.

 

Stickers

 

Definitely like it! Where did you get the stickers?

 

TVD Vinyls I think, it’s been awhile. Held up great, 3 years.

 

Going to go look for them now.

 

Its been a couple of years. I think it was in the $3k range. Shell is bone dry. I did my research on preparing the bed before install.

 

Snugtop Rebel…
Windoors
Fold-down front sliding window
Yakima rack rails (still waiting on Jetstream rack from Yakima)
Keyless entry wired into OEM remote tailgate lock
Carpet headliner
12V LED light

 

Have an RLD. Stainless steel with twice the load rating as the RSI. Still in the same price range. I swap between my rooftop tent and load bars with kayaks. Occasionally I’ll put both on.real fine dust is about the only thing that gets in, have never had water intrusion issues. I never fully sealed the bed though.

 

Do you have any pictures that are more close up?

 

That's a sharp looking truck.

 

Best? Id go ARE HD series so you can put up to 500 lb on there. The fiberglass one with the internal frame is the one im talking about. Add windoors and overhead lights or it wont be the best.

 

Rsi cap for sure

 

When I was looking for one for my 16, I came to the conclusion that all the fiberglass models from the big 3 (Leer, ARE, Snugtop) are really about the same and buy from the dealer who treats you the best. I would have bought a Leer, but the sales rep quoted me one price over the phone and another when I got there. I ended up with an ARE CX.

All that being said, you want windoors. Yes they are $450 per, but you want them.

 

What you can find in a junk yard for $1,000 is a good one

It's a LEER with windoors on both side, rack on top, electric lock on rear window, carpet inside, sliding rear window that folds down for cleaning, etc.
