    Looking at trading a guy my Rack for this shell. I need the height for my custom Honda Ruckus, though I'm curious if the hump would kinda blend with a roof rack. I have the Prinsu rack on mine.

    Anyone have photos of a truck with a roof rack and one of these shells?

    Just keep throwin' money at it.
    Here are a few over cab height shells with racks. Most look to be using Yakima Tracks, but there are other options out there.

    Are you looking for pics of a bar type rack or a flat cargo type rack?

    Those pictures suited what I was looking for, however I meant I have the Prinsu rack on the cab, was curious about height of that compared to the height of the shell.

    Understandable. I know there is someone on here with that setup, but I cannot find the photo for some reason.

    Im buying a shell soon, and im torn. I dont know how I feel about the look of the tall shell. Is the addition headroom inside very noticeable?

    Yes if you camp out of it, especially if you have a raised platform. It's nice to be able to add a gear attic/mesh netting for storing lightweight stuff as well. I regret not geting the taller shell like I had on my last Tacoma (get windoors with vented windows as well).

    good timing on this post. I've been contemplating getting a leer 180 or a.r.e. MX vs. a regular cab high shell. I would like to see a dcsb with prinsu cab rack + 180 \ mx shell.

    Here is an A.R.E. MX with a yamika roof rack on a long box. I have found I needed the extra room on multiple hunting trips.

    Anyone seen any racks for the cab that will align with the shell racks?

    For the higher shell? You'd probably have to go with some of the extensions that both Yakima and Thule make or go custom.
