Show me your shell!

Looks familiar….(I sold it to you) haha

Glad you’re getting good use out of it!

 

Yes you did!

It's been great. The only thing I would change if I were ordering new is to put windoors on it. But at $650 each to order them now now, I'll live with what I have . Just put a RTT on it last weekend. We will see how it holds up. Not sure how long you ran one on it, but so far so good. I'll start fabricating an internal frame for it soon. The route you went is really probably the route to go, but I do like the look of the fiberglass toppers.

I hope all is well with you.

 

The rack can be added as option at the dealer which you look at the options on the shell brochure. For example, you tell the dealer on what you want such as lights, racks, toolbox, etc. Then when the shell arrive, you bring the truck to them and they put the shell on your truck then install the options then you are good to go.

 

In my experience all options are installed at point of manufacture, headliner, lighting, window options, roof rack, that is if you order it. The dealer can add/ change some things. Roof racks are something that dealers/ DYI is done often.

 

You are right on most part but my dealer installed some of them on mine before they gave the truck back to me. I got sliding window for front end for free which it is installed at factory.

 

Hey I resemble that, “old dude” I think I like that

 

Just picked this up need to splice that 3rd brake light tomorrow morning

 

Do you have any detailed posts or pictures on this fridge setup? I've had a similar idea in my head and love that someone has already done this. The double slide seems necessary for behind the seat fridge in an access cab. I'm especially curious about the short slide the fridge makes from front to back. And also how you mounted your extrusions to the truck. Great work. Super inspiring.

 

Nice! Any plans for paint?

 

ARE V series with OTR coating and windoors scored used. Love this thing!

 

I like it. I’m going to replace my windows with windows soon.

 

What shell you have? They may not replace the windows with windoors.. They can tell you to order a new shell if you want windoors. I wanted windoors on mine but I was told they don't fit in.. I have to order new shell with windoors.

 

I have a leer 100r. I’ve already worked with leer for the part numbers and have a quote from a local dealer. I got lucky . Otherwise I’d probably figure out how to make something myself.

 

Mine is 100XQ. I looked your window shape and see if I could compare to mine but mine is way different than yours. I see why they can't replace mine because the window is frameless.

 

thats a bummer. I don’t know what I’d do if I had to completely replace my roper to get windoors. Toppers are expensive.

 

Yeah they are expensive... I wasn't thinking until I looked at @Road_Warrior's thread which he mentioned about windoors and toolbox... I was like I am screwed. lol

 

I'm still stuck in limbo between the cab high vs mid high. I'm only gonna be in the bed to crash out in, not hang out....but still.....

 

How are you liking the ranch? I think the lines look very good on a Tacoma. They are a lot cheaper from what I've heard. Does the price reflect quality?

 

Is your tacoma your daily and do you go into parking garages a lot?

 

It is my daily, and I don't frequent parking garages. I'm honestly leaning towards cab high. It looks more sporty or aggressive than the bubble butt of a higher cab bed.
