Show me your shell!

Gonna sus this one out tomorrow and likely make the swap to it from a bed rack.

I'll just need guidance on installing a rack on it for my rtt.

Also likely going to get it Line X.

 

Question for those of you with an ARE shell…has anyone removed the ARE logo from the rear glass?

I’m thinking a hairdryer and some goo-gone would maybe work? I've had success with that on other window decals.

 

Yep heat gun and it’ll come right off

 

Excellent, thank you sir!

 

Just my opinion but if the rack is in from the front/back (close to the side doors) you’ll probably want an internal frame to take the weight, especially if you go off road. I’d add tail gate supports as well to reinforce the sheet metal webs that attach the bedsides and composite bed to the frame. Those webs are visible in front of the tail lights.

 

I know this is an older post but can anyone tell me if those windoor openers/handles are lockable?

Right now my cap is slated to come with the lockable aluminum T handles but I might change it to those black knobs in the bottom corners if they are lockable.

 

The T handles on my windoors are lockable, work great.

 

I appreciate it! Are you talking about the silver/aluminum T handles that are in the center of the door? I know those lock and that’s what is in my order currently.

I like the look of the small black knobs in the bottom corners a little more, I’m wondering if those are also lockable.

 

This is what I have.

 

Awesome, thank you sir! Is that an ARE?

 

Snugtop

 

appreciate it!

 

Why do 2/3rd window shells exist?
It looks like it's uglier than a sliding window + no breathability to suffocate and overheat camping inside

 

Easy to access the pop out window from the tailgate. Sliders are neither as sleek nor as easy to get to and windoors have exposed handles. I’d still do windoors for best interior access.

 

Different uses. Not everyone needs to access the truck or use it for camping. I wouldn't have one personally but I do think they look nice

 

I recently picked up a used ARE

 

Daaaaaaamn. Beautiful truck!

 

Here is my RLD shell.

 

If you’re still on here, what seal did you use to make the window waterproof. And can you share the link?
