I need some opinions ~ Topper pic thread

I'm looking to get a shell for my 2004 double cab taco and would like people's pics and opinions of theirs. Also I plan to buy some roof racks to hold a kayak or canoe, any suggestions on what brand to look for on racks? I have an A.R.E. fiberglass bed cover that I'd like to get rid of for the shell if anyone is interested. Thanks

 

I bought my top about 3 months or so ago; I definitely like it. Dry storage space and my toolbox is secure too.

 

I have a topper, might consider trade

 

What do you have?

 

White a.r.e topper.

 

Any pics you could post of it? Maybe we can work a deal if it's what I'm looking for!

 

What color is yours?

 

Mines a white A.R.E cap.. I'll try to get a pic up today for you

 

match make in TW heaven


fwiw I have an A.R.E. topper w/ Thule track system and LOVE it, just wish it had "windoors"

this is a pic thread right

 

Send me a private message with cell phone number and I will send pic

 

I like your setup! I've heard Thule is pretty much the way to go.. And yeah I'm glad Iade the thread now! Lol and I sent you a on stumpman.
My God at the typos... I made* and pm.

 

thanks, it serves me very well. Whether you go with Thule or Yakima etc, I'd suggest you get the track system for sure; the versatility is unbeatable. They typically aren't too cheap so keep your eyes peeled on Craigslist/ebay. I pieced mine together with some new and some used parts

 

I just checked Thule's website and didn't find any yota specific applications.. What all did you use for yours? Just tracks?

 

I'm a big fan of my SnugTop XTR. Love the clean lines that flow really well with the truck. Mine has a headliner, folding/sliding window behind the cab, dome light as options. I added the Thule bars for my shovel and hilift. And painted the tubes black.

I swap between the topper and my bedrack somewhat frequently.

 

x2 on the SnugTop. Love mine...I've had an A.R.E. and a Leonard before..I'd say I like the SnugTop the most for the clean lines and overall fit. I put Yakima racks and the fairing on.




Don't have the Bedrug anymore though.

 

All nice setups guys! Thanks for the input..

 

You hardly ever see mine out there-the Snugtop XTR. Nice shell, great paint and still great seal since 2005 when I bought it for $1700. You may find some used ones out there for cheap now

 

yea standard 60" Thule Tracks (that I cut down to 50" iirc), TK1 feet, and 50" load bars. Bought the tracks new and the other stuff used. The tracks are thru-bolted to the cap

 

Yep, don't see them too often. I haven't seen another one in person that has the Snugtop XTR. I think they're a great looking top. They are the top of the line top from Snugtop and can be expensive when new. When I found mine for sale locally I didn't know much about them and a search showed pricing from ~$1200 for the cheaper used ones up to almost $2300 for a new one. Made me even more excited for the deal I got on mine. It was even the right color paint and I got it for $230. It's been great for me.

 

Thanks for that-you sure did get a hell of a deal-and a rare one for a top in such great shape as yours. BTW you have done a fantastic job on that truck.
