    I like the look of the Z, looks clean. This is the current one you have correct? Can you post another pic of the shell from the back side and back.

    I couple of weeks late, but Snugtop HiLiner (Sport?) on '22 AC OR; not color matched, but kinda blends in.
    Keywords for anyone searching for this color combo...Magnetic Gray Metallic/Silver.

    Looks great i had the exact opposite color combo and enjoyed it, color matched gives the truck a an suvish look. I have a different color matched cap now and miss the two tone look at times.

    The SR5/SX is my fav.

    That's awesome, and damn funny too. A neighbor has my truck (or I have his truck?), with a color matched Snugtop HiLiner, and I'm kinda jealous.
    It's always greener on the other side...

    20250506_120714.jpg 20250505_155755.jpg Stoked on my Snugtop Sport Hi-liner. I went back and forth on all the brands and Cab high vs Mid high shells. If you're in southern california, Jimmy at Discount Camper Shells in long beach is super friendly and had very competitive pricing. I couldn't believe some of the quotes I got from other shops.

    The last few post are speaking to me. At first I wanted a black topper as my truck is white. I also battled myself on a Leer can height or above cab. I ended up with a color matched(wife thought the black would look bad and I was buying it new) cab height Leer 100XR. I love the cap for sure, at times I wish it was a mid rise at least because when I get in there, being 6’4 there’s zero head room. I don’t sleep in it but if it’s pouring rain it would be nice to be able to get out of the weather and have a short chair to just sit and stay dry. Instead I have a tent and awning now…first world problems but I now know I’m not the only one!

    Question to the group…anyone have a good way to store fishing rods either on the roof or sides by the windows? Trying to figure out a safe way to store them inside the bed.

    Looks great. I’ve thought about building a rod vault using pvc pipe and a threaded end cap, seen some examples of this floating around

    i have hung 2 fly rods inside my cap through the front window into the cab. my alucab has some rails i put eye hook loops things in. i use these nite ize gear ties that get wrapped around the rod near the reel. there are a couple more ties near the front window so it hangs on 2 spots. i should add a third in the middle, but i was only on paved roads and didn't go far the first and only time i did it this year. im hoping to get around to designing and 3d printing something a little more sturdy, but it works for now.

    I put 4 strips of velcro diagonally across the ceiling in the cab. I store 2 shorter rods there; one 7' rod and a 6'8". My other 2 7'4 rods lay on the floor of the bed diagonally and inside a pvc pipe to protect them from anything else in the truck. If you go the ceiling velcro route, let me know, and I can give some tips.20250506_154057.jpg

    Another great idea! Thanks I’ll certainly let you know! Interesting water jug…care to share what that’s for? Is it a filter or is it just a pump to get water out? Never seen that.
