Show me your shell!

I have an ARE really like the fit and look but now wish I had ordered it with the side flip up windows.
I checked at the shop where I bought it but they are $275.00 ea. Still debating if I should spend the money for them or maybe find someone to trade.

 

Awesome, thank you! If you don't want to add them in here you can pm me. Otherwise I'm sure many others would benefit from the pictures as well. Can't wait to see them, thanks again!

 

They are worth it. Have one on the driver side installed and see what you think.

 

Have the Windoors (vented) in mine. Gotta say, they are pretty great. I sometimes forget I have them and I am crawling through the back.
When my son comes out to work on the truck with me he loves to play in the back and I open everything up for him.
I don't think you will regret having them.

 

What ramp is that?

 

After some basic testing with a meter I was able to find the correct cables to tap. I was going to use a plastic cable tap and put the whole assembly back into the tail light area but found it more secure to solder the connections and run them through one of the bolt holes at the top of the bed.

 

Going to take a pic of the finished product today, meant to yesterday but after changing oil and rotating tires I forgot about pics.

 

So you tapped into the white black stripe for neg and green and red stripe for positive? I thought there were more wires so you could run the dome light too?

 

On my rancher top those were the only wires available to tap in to. Made everything work but I will say this, they did not make it easy and the tail lights leave very little in means of cable to pull insulation off of before you nearly cut a wire.

 

These are great, where did you find them?

 

picked mine up thursday. 10 hour roundtrip and $350. took awhile and almost settled a few times. pieced together a rack off craigslist too for another$150 and will mount sometime this week. Happy I waited until the right one came along

 

They are called eye nuts. For Yakima bolts you want 1/4"-28 / UNF /Fine thread. Search around the web, a lot of marine outfitter shops sell them, I've never seen them sold at a home store like Lowes or Home Depot.

Incredible! Looks great. Congrats!

 

That was at 30, in Avon

 

Thanks for the info Crom. Ive been watching your updates for awhile now and am excited to get into the possibilities the shell provides

 

Guess what I'm starting tomorrow?

 

Nice my favorite in 25.

 

I picked up my Century Hi-C camper shell last weekend after waiting 4 long weeks. I like many others watched CL for months with no luck and finally decided to take the hit on a new one. The quality is excellent and it cost $600 less OTD than the Leer 180 or A.R.E MX (Century is owned by Leer). I wanted to add windoors but just couldn't justify the added mark up for them.

Many thanks to those who posted in this thread which helped me make my decision on the style that I wanted. The next mod coming is Icon extended coilovers, T/C uca's and dakars!

 

^Congrats on the new shell! It looks great.

 

Commercial Style!

 

Has anyone used carriage bolts (or anything similar) to attach things directly to the Thule Tracker rails? I am thinking about using 2x4s for temporary cross bars to get a longer bar than my Thule bars.
