    I have an ARE on m 2010... mid rise, i love it and itll never come off.

    I use the2012 reg cab as work truck, hunting truck, and winter or if need something hauled. For the spring and summer i pull an enclosed trailer for work and openbed and tool box is helpful, but a ladder rack would be nice maybe 2 times a year. I have bed extender for lumber, ladder, or whatever... ladder rack certainly not needed. When Sept/Oct rolls around i only need the truck for hunting and for when it snows. Open bed again is nice for snowblower, but keeping stuff dryis better for hunting. Snowblower fits n mid rise ARE height shell... dont think will fit in either of two choices. Regular cab and a toolbox is enough room for 80% of stuff i need. Tree stand with frost early in morning and moving plastic containers into cab suck really.

    There have been 2 shells on craigslist for some time... 2012 is pyrite mica... littl chance of color match, would be nice but white and blue are available.. i dont care for huntng season, but during work dont wanna look like a $99 guy pulling up to a house.... For $350 the ARE commercial type shell could be used year round and used for lettering advertisement, but white would look awful against pyrite.... the 2nd is Snugtop, it looks like its on a reg cab but waiting for answer ,$500 is blue... they have been listed for awhile and waiting for details.

    Opinions or advise would be helpful. I dont mind spending the money, not $1600-2200z but for used i could use it for part of the year.
