Show me your shell!

doghair , what topper do you have on your reg cab ?

 

Craigslist special, $1000 only a year old and already color matched to my MGM DCLB. At first I didn't like the tool box on the side but now I wouldn't live without it. And it came with a 400lb Carrier rack as well.

 

Leer 100R.

 

got any pics of the inside?

 

huuuuhhhh.....I'm still waiting for my second one (they ordered the wrong one the first time) but hopefully it will be here next week. That looks real nice....

 

Not the best pic .....still have a lot of room, and a lot of space to move around.

 

I'll post a better one soon.

 

Has anyone replaced the struts on an XQ to make the back open higher? Seems like it only opens to forehead height.

 

How high is forehead high?

 

Mine opens low too. It's the only thing I'm not happy about with the XQ

 

I had complained about the same thing with my xq a while back

I took it back to the dealer and we tried a few different struts without much success. Even an set that was an inch linger didn't work because the door didn't close. We replaced the old set with a new set of the same length and it did help, but only a little

The plan was to try and relocate the strut mounts and see if that helped but I totaled my Tacoma

Replacement was an ARE

 

That toolbox option is really cool!

 

Here you go.

 

Pretty cool.Never seen this before.Would be really sweet if u could take the box in and out if wanted.

 

That would actually be perfect but then it couldn't hold the weight that it does.

 

That's a nice layout, man

 

One thing that I think some of you might be interested in are "hook and loop cable ties." We have some awnings for our shell and the line we run to the stakes gets neatly bundled up and then tied in these cable ties with the hook side facing out. From there I simply stick it to the upholstered interior of the shell where I want it. No more searching through bags or boxes for knotted line.

I have used it to route some temporary electrical wiring inside the shell until I could get those wires into the permanent bundle for permanent install.

 

Picked up this Thule rack for $100 off CL. Grabbed the tracks from proline roof racks for $50. Way better than $150 for the Thule tracks. Check them out if you're looking to add a rack to your top.
