    @TheTacoChrist saw you post in another thread and noticed you have a shell. Mind posting a couple pictures and letting us know what shell you went with??

    It's the ARE overland. Overall I'm really happy with it. There are definitely areas that could be improved on it. Like where the weather sealing is not trimmed on the hatch. And i do have decent water leakage around the front two corners by the cab. Not enough to flood the bed, but things do get wet. I have two layers of foam weather seal tape up there on top of the front bed rail thing and I'm about to stick some putty in the holes at the corners soon. If that doesn't work I will just silicon it. The back leaks in the normal areas around the lift gate and tailgate gaps.

    Thanks for sharing! I’ve been dying to see the overland on a Cavalry Blue, and I think it looks great! Prinsu rack on both the cab and the shell? I have mine for the cab in the box still. Hoping to install on Saturday.

    If you have any other angles of the truck, please share.

    Damn, that looks really good. The water leakage is concerning. You think it is product or install issue?

    From what i understand it's pretty normal for a camper shell to leak in those areas. People normally just fill it with silicon or some extra weather striping. I am trying to everything I can to make it so the shell is still easy to remove and put back on if i need to, but I will probably bite the bullet soon and silicon.
    Using dum dum putty for now.

    The water leakage is minimal. I don't want to alarm anyone. It's a good seal. In a normal rain shower there is almost no water leakage. In a carwash/pressurized water: there is a little more.
    If you had a sleeping bag on the floor of the truck it would still be usable afterwards.

    @abaxter41 I'm at work right now, When I get a chance I'll try to post some more photos. I am really happy with the look of it on the truck.
    Yes Prinsu cab and topper rack. They work great for me. It's so easy to fab mounts for them for anything.

    Did you get the weather strip thing for the front of the airdam on the prinsu? It quiets it down quite a bit. I was getting like a vibrating noise from the wind off of my roof. I made my own "silencer" out of velcro for now and it seems to be working, but I have the prinsu made one on order. It's $12 I wish I had spent when I ordered the rack.

    I drew a red circle around my temporary Velcro fix.IMG_5195.jpg

    I've got a 2018 TRD Pro Cavalry Blue for sale in CO if anyone is interested. I'm a dealer, and bought it for myself, but it's not big enough for my needs. Its not listed anywhere yet, but I'm putting feelers out there.
