    It's fine.
    I just put it on recently.
    Left it up one rainy night and it was fine.
    Won't leave it up if its gusty.

    Another great thing about a high rise, is the back window opening is as tall as the top of a regular height canopy.

    I enjoy my taller shell after owning a cab height for so long.

    Great looking rig. You are wise to get the taller shell. If you actually use the shell and have to crawl around in there, that extra 6 or so inches in height makes a huge difference. Crawling around in the cab high shells is a pita as is sleeping in them. IMG_1377.jpg I think most get the cab high shells cause they like the looks but if you actually use the shell they are impractical. If a person is small in stature the the cab high is probably ok. I’m not bad mouthing the cab high shells I’m just giving my opinion.

    I had a cab high on my last tacoma and did sleep in it for over 30 days on a trip, hence why I have the taller one now. I like the way the cab high one looks, but now that Im 40, The extra room in this one is extremely nice. Those 6 or so inches really do make a huge difference!!

    I'm looking for pics of long bed with shell and prinsu rack on the shell. Just trying to see what width to go with 44", 47" or 54". I don't have any plans to add one to the roof of the truck.

    Just found out my Camper shell has to go back to the factory. Before they applied the Bed liner stripe there was moisture underneath 049B6290-A3DA-436E-ACAE-8AB524E1D939.jpg 3B9A6A24-408D-45E4-8361-203B97912E6A.jpg which is causing it to bubble. It's not going to affect the integrity but after paying over 4 grand a month ago I would like to have it done right. Everything is under warranty so He said I should get it back in 3 to 4 weeks.

    Just picked this Shell up over the weekend. Feeling very lucky finding one that matches the paint and even luckier that it fits in the garage away from the LA crackheads. I think its an ARE but there's nothing on it and it doesn't have the "Vista" window that ARE says is a standard option. Anyone have any idea what type of shell this is?

    I have a Leer and it looks just like yours but they all look pretty much the same to me. I’d guess Leer but that is just a guess.

    Picked up a used Snugtop with Windoors. Love the increased room, convenience with windoors.
