Looking for ideas and photos for a short bed shell I’d like to get. I’d love camping ideas (mostly beach) and surf racks on top of the shell. Any suggestions of do’s and dont’s?
Thanks!

Both are Stock - built correct from the start.

I prefer the level raised shells. I’ve had 3 ARE MX and just ordered one for new truck. I like the extra height inside. The raised type also helps with my aerodynamics since I tow small travel trailer a lot. Downside is the short flat roof for racks. I you rack long things: 2 person kayaks, longboard, canoes, etc you’ll have to rig something for stability. One idea is mount an extra cross bar on the cab. I usually just carry short kayaks you it works for me.
