    How do you like your shell? I think this is the truck I saw on instagram one day that lead me to discover Bel Air and I just talked to them the other day about the possibilities. I’m not so sure about the over cab one, how has it effected your mpg and power?

    Just picked up a snugtop for my short bed. Any recommendations for tracks? Trying to pick something up to mount an eventual rack. D3976ED8-66C3-49D5-A64D-D1402E454879.jpg

    I just spoke with “Rack Outfitters” I just got a shell and now wish I had them install rails because the cost is pretty much double
