    So I'm moving in the fall and already moved my wife. When i moved her i took the shell off of my truck due to what I will be moving with me then. I must say after having a shell on my truck for 3 years it's a little weird not having it on there now. Did anyone else feel the same way or is it just me?

    Once you take off the shell you have basically given up on life in general, I think.

    It's a slippery slope. Next you will want to remove the hood, then the weather will be nicer so the doors will come off.....

    I took it off the move a quad but by the time I get back to it I don't think I'm going to want to put it back on.

    I never wanted a shell. Reminded me of the all the hobo pretend expedition portal child molesters that sleep in their rides. It was raining, and I was slipping and sliding the rear.

    Installed a LEER shell. The weight stopped all the sliding and the slipping. Two women who I have known for years, who hate trucks ruining their property value, complimented the shell and said it changed the look, and doesn't look like things gardeners have.

    I have grown to love my shell, and wouldn't not have it now.

    Not only that, I have become a shell snob. When I drive around and see ugly, old shells that are poorly kept, I sneer down at them.

    First the shell. Then your pants.

    Be careful.

    I have owned 9 or 10 pickups and always ended up with a shell. I use a trailer for carrying big things. The shell is handy for keeping things out of the weather and away from sticky fingers when the truck is parked
