ARE Camper Shells are for old guys - so says my wife

The non millennial versions do not come with that option. Read the fine print...

 

Right on!

My cap is an invaluable asset/tool for my activities of choice (bird & duck hunting with my GSP's, fly-fishing, camping and general adventure/exploring the great north woods of Maine.

 

The north woods are were I get to use my truck, problem is its about 3 plus hours of highway north to get there, but its one drive I look forward to

 

Same with me!

 

ya I need to find a few areas to tool around here in the southern part of the state.

Edit: Sorry off task

 

Some do. Mine did. Not an advertised feature. It is also programmable thing if not tho..........just like the wife carrying a pr of balls in her purse is for some.

 

Interesting twist with the black on the top. I like it... looks different! Cool!

 

@Alfred Truck looks great! Like the cans on the back too! Well done!

Nothing really. I was just offered a killer deal on a trade for basically same exact truck with a locker and no leather or JBL. I came 1,900 out of pocket to buy the '17 OR and my limited had 16k miles on it.

 

Do you have plans for that boat/outrigger? Looks very cool...

 

Added a Prinsu Design roof racks on my Snugtop Super Sport last week...

 

Dang very nice!!

 

You need one get it!

 

I'm 58, guess that qualifies as old. But I've been putting shells on my trucks for over 30 years. Wouldn't have a truck without one anymore. My wife and I like to travel long distances and camp. That involves carrying lots of gear and keeping it locked up and in the dry is important.

In May we took a 4700 mile 2 week trip from GA to the Grand Canyon then up through Utah into Bryce, Zion, and Kodachrome Canyons. Having the shell on the back was invaluable. It does somewhat limit carrying larger items in the bed, but I have a 5'X10' trailer that works better for that anyway. I've always felt the bed covers that were level with the top of the bed were a waste of time and money.

 

Love my ARE Z series

 

For the larger boat I don't. I kind of free built it and in all honesty it didn't go well, pretty much a useless boat without an outrigger. For the smaller boat I adapted the (now defunct) Roll-or-Drown open source Point Bennett west Greenland style boat down to a ten footer and clipped the bow and stern some. I drew the hull panels out in AutoCAD and printed them full scale. Once those 4 panels were together I winged it for the rest of the build.

Thanks, forty2! Very creative and nice workmanship. Never have seen anything like it... I'm into outriggers, so that one caught my attention. Bookmarked and will be coming back to it. Thanks again for taking the time to post your build info.

 

@Timbo89 lol, show Kasie

 

I like the look! I debated over getting the body side moldings in black for my Sky silver DCLB (I got body color). By seeing yours I wish I would have gotten black. Nice truck.
