I still like the Tradesman Truck Tops manufactured by Access Mfg that Toyonado installed a couple of pages back.



The driver's side has a tool box over the rear quarter panel that would be perfect for my camp kitchen.

Commercial shells, especially on DCSB?



The other thread on this particular aluminum shell:

Tradesman Truck Tops commercial style topper/shell

 

Holy Smokes that’s sweet man! You scored big bro!

 

This is an aluminum shell by Century (I think it's a division of Leer). I've had a for a few months and it's solid.

 

This is a fiberglass shell made by BrandFX. I scored it for $300 on Craigslist. It’s pretty bombproof and fit my Taco perfect. I’m currently building cabinetry and a bed for the inside.

 

That's awesome! It looks like it was originally for another truck, know what one?

 

I think its from a Colorado. Its a little long for my bed, but I just made some custom extensions and it works better for sleeping in.

 

Found something interesting which might work out for roof vents/ skylights

Boom. In my second gen

Where do you store cumbersome and rarely-used essentials? In the attic, of course. This was a fun weekend project. Muputrax mounted. Now I'm thinking of buying and mounting 1 gallon rotopax on each traction board.

 

I just place my Reliance table and solar panel inside on top of my platform bungee'd to the side rails. They come out for camp set up and go back in when packing up. Everything is inside my shell.

 

Nice, @ETAV8R Got pics?

 

I knew I should have taken some on my last trip. That was when I actually figured out my current methodology for packing/unpacking. It seems to evolve with the first few trips until it is dialed in. I'll take some on the next trip but that won't be until Dec/Jan. Basically on the passenger side I utilize the factory side rail cleats and use two bungees to hold the solar panel and table upright leaning against the passenger door of the shell. It did take me several times to figure this out and there still may be a better way.

 

@ETAV8R cheers to evolving until dialed in

 

My truck is not a double cab, but I got this one at a pawn shop for $125. I've done a lot of stuff to it, but it had originally come from a local pest control place and was originally bright yellow.

 

Interior pics?
