Show me your shell!

That is cool. Says he can get 9' surfboards in there!

 

Definitely. I like mine, They are on passenger side, and when camping I can line up 'stuff' all along that side and get quick access with the windoor.

Nice, but a whole lotta money.

 

Would love to see more pictures of this if you can!

 

@inesshell buy this

 

I have an ARE shell and am happy with it. It came with my first truck so I didn't have to pay for it which is awesome. If I was going to buy my own I would probably go with the taller one, get the opening side windows or have at the very least sliding screens with the sliding windows.

 

I wonder if the windows can be replaced by Windoors.
I really like having a windoor, mine is on the passenger side only.

 

I can see where you would stick a "key" to remove the widows. Do you know if this key comes with the new windoors? Seems like a super easy install if you have the correct tool to remove the current windows.

 

ARE CX with windoor sliders.

 

Are overland. Dealer was a D bag and late on delivery. I like the look and quality tho. Finish was 5/10 because there was blemishes on the brand new shell. It cost 2 Gs it better be perfect... overall I’m liking the shell so far. But definetly dissapointed with parts of the process very dissapointed.

 

Bummer to hear about the dealer. The guy I bought mine from tried to talk me out of an ARE because he had seen them show up banged up since they are transported pretty far. What was your timeframe from when you ordered to installation?

 

Dealer said 3 weeks was the usual... but told me 4 weeks because of the holidays..then told me 5 weeks after giving me a set date. Then tried to say 5 weeks and day because of holidays. I wouldn't take that BS, stood firm and it ended up taking 4.5 weeks 1.5 hr install. I told the BS manager if I have a G down, it better be delivered on time and I won't accept any later than was physically possible hahaha. I got it right when A.R.E delivered it to the dealer.. half a week late... learned about how even "nice" salesmen can be weak losers with a bunch of excuses, even though your paying em right n good!

 

My dealer was unremarkable.

 

I was quoted five to six weeks from the order date and it came in five weeks on the nose.

@Unchained 5150 was looking for a soft top for a long bed.

 

I was quoted 4 - 5 weeks. Its been 6. I just called the dealership today and they said it will be another 10 days which if thats accurate will make it 7 weeks of waiting. Not too pleased

 

To everyone putting shells on, are u leaving the bed side rail black plastic caps or removing them?

 

ON...........if you remove the caps it does not fit right.atleast on the one that i seen the caps removed on (homer taco)
