My shell curves forward in the front to match the cab. If I remember I will get a picture later.

I looks like Oz's, you can see it in this picture.

 

I'll have to get something like this

 

I like the extra height of my canopy.

 

My shell is 3 inches higher than the cab. My sleeping platform sits just above the wheel wells. I'm able to just barely sit up right. My girlfriend is 5'7" and can sit up no problem. I don't think the platform would work well enough with a regular shell. Also the Stanley mobile work chest thing I put my scuba gear in wouldn't clear the opening with a normal shell.

 

I have the same shell and love it, not too tall but a little extra room inside.

 

What cap/model is that?

 

ARE MX series.

 

Cool thanks. I'm liking what I've seen from ARE over caps from Leer.

 

I have the Leer 100XL (same as Nemo) and it lines up perfectly. Granted the 100XQ has better lines that are more aesthetically pleasing, but less function and higher price.

I do agree that AT Overland company a little bit to pricy. Nice truck tho!

 

I saw one of these locally today , I thought it could make a fairly interesting platform if you could do a RTT rack over it , comes with power , watertight storage , fridge , and hot / cold water storage / mixing valve and pump

 

what's the pricing on those? I definitely like the weatherproof/ dust tight (I presume) construction.

 

Rotopax or Scepter Fuel cans.. Im unsure of the direction i want to take... The bumper i ordered has rotopax mounts but if it's not too late, i would change that to jerry can holders.. anyone who has either want to chime in on how easy it'll be to fuel up?

 

IDK , I just got up close to it today for the first time , I wouldn't doubt they are pricey

 

Can you even buy new Scepters Stateside anymore ?

 

Cans. I don't like handling the rotopax.

 

The only thing I found with my Scepters was I was having an issue with fuel dribbling out of the breather hole when used with the 3/4" nozzle that fits in a gasoline vehicle filler

 

I was planning on getting a used one.. 150$ new for one is ridiculous by any standard really.

They awkward or something?

Was it a substantial amount of fuel and were you able to remedy this issue?
