Alibaba / AliExpress Camper Shell Thread

Thank you. I searched but I could not see the specific install tackling about on how to install the weather stripping

 

I just found it and posting it here for reference for others that do not know. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PAIE3cXWFrQ

 

Yeah I didn’t even use the butyl between the panels for that reason lol. I just sealed it from the outside with the sealant they sent.

I put the weatherstripping on the shell itself.

 

Thanks. I am leaving about 2 or 3 areas without screws since they’re held up tight with the asphalt sealant lol. I did what you did on the rear section of the camper shell, putting the sealant outside the shell.

 

Have any pictures?

 

The ship left port today with mine.Should be in Vancouver in a month.

 

Here are the pictures of mine. I installed and lifted it yesterday by myself. I removed the tailgate, leaned the camper shell on the truck, lifted and then slid the camper into position.

 

Looks great! How long did it take to arrive? Also, could you share the link?

 

Mine took about a little over 3 months.

 

Thanks. I sent you the link.

 

Got it, but it doesn't show that they have anything available, and I mean anything. Thanks anyway.

 

I sent another link. That link should work.

 

Can anyone show me how you installed the brackets of your camper shell? I am not sure if this is correct or this should be enough.

 

I also need assistance how to wire the camper shell brake light. Any tips, pictures, videos?

 

Best way to go is get a harness that taps into your brake light, no cutting or splicing the factory wiring. I believe there is a member here that makes them. Try searching “third brake light harness”

 

I would go this route.

Thank you for the suggestion. Will this work?

Thank you. That looks more secure than my current fastener.

 

Those are enough. I’ve had a 200lb tent on top of mine for 6,000 miles and the shell hasn’t moved at all.

 

I don’t think that will work. I used this one. IMO this is the best way to go. https://fbchs.square.site/product/tacoma-2016-2023-brake-t-harness/47
