Show me your shell!

What Saw You runnin

 

Just a little Stihl 170. Just small wood here. Use it for firewood mainly.

 

Thanks!

I haven't had the time to snap any more pics than that one out front lately. I'll get around to it, I promise!

I'm running 285/70R17s on a Bilstein lift. After the cab mount chop, I've had no issues with rubbing.

I debated the Snugtop vs. the Leer for a while, finally decided that the Snugtop had better lines. There are quite a few capped Tacomas around my neighborhood, so I had some samples to check out. I'm very happy I went with the Snugtop.

 

im looking to add a shell to my truck, as far as roof racks go does anyone know if the "wispbars" or "areo blades" (yakima/thule) make any difference from a traditional bar when driving down the highways?

 

I have the Thule Aero Blades an like them better. If I had a older truck I would go with what is cheaper. They are mounted on my cap so I do not hear any wind noise. I have the OEM rack and when the crossbars are going across they are really noisy. The Aero are very strong and lite.

 

Got my shell in today. Leer 100R with the wilderness package and vented windoors.

 

I have the Thule Aero's on mine, mounted to the shell, and they are very quiet. Solid build as well.

 

Snugtop Rebel with Rhino Liner exterior.

 

I have the standard round bars with the fairing and they don't make any noise. They are much cheaper and have more length options. I needed the longest to fit double canoes.

 

I also have one bar mounted in the factory rack on the cab with the fairing and one on the topper. This makes it easier to carry canoes over the whole truck and not pertrude out the back too far.

 

Love the lining on the shell. I did mine in Line-x last year.

 

Found this one on Graig's list. Paid only $460. I had planned to use the money for something else, but couldn't pass this up. I think the silver looks fine on white, so I have no plans to paint.

 

For sure dude! Tougher, cheaper, and more unique than colormatch. Can't beat it!

 

Placed my order on an ARE CX the other day. I can't wait for it to get here

 

This looks great!
What was the total cost?

 

Great choice! I love mine. I wish I had it ages ago

 

I like your canoe solution. I was wondering if it would be too tall in front, but that looks fine. Also looks more stable and less vehicle length to worry about. My Sport looks almost identical to your truck.

 

It isn't more than 1" higher. I don't notice the difference any more. Very sturdy. I use many different types of boats as a guide and those long tandems are almost as long as my truck. I didn't want 5` hanging off the back.

 

Hey, can anyone tell me if the storage box on the Outdoor packages fit rifles? I have a DCSB. I cannot find any interior spec dimensions on any website about the boxes. I am looking at Century & SnugTop (Rebel) and I would assume the boxes would be roughly the same. Trying to get an idea of how many rifles you could fit in the box. Local Topper store is really out of the way so figured I'd ask. Drop a link if y'all have one.
