Show me your shell!

Last week ordered a Snug Top Rebel, Short Bed, with folding front slider. 1570 plus 75 install.
Portland, Oregon. No sales tax. Dealer stated it was one of his best sellers. All American Truck & SUV Accessory Centers.

 

I'm going on the hunt for a shell on Saturday. So far I'm thinking Leer 100 XL/XR. Any recommendations for the add-ons?

 

I personally like having a removable front sliding window, helps for cleaning the glass. My most favourite add on tho is the keyless entry, talk about handy!

 

Carpeted interior , front removeable slider

 

This is such an awesome idea!

 

Sweet thanks guys! Lots of good input. Anybody have a brand/model roof rack to recommend?

 

Good point, carpeted interior was a must for me as well.

I got two 12 volt lights in mine and they work great. I have two dogs and didn't opt for the special screens because i'd rather remove them to let the dogs stick their heads out. If only Leer and ARE do what Snugtop is doing with their screens. Sliding screen windows are sooo much handier.

 

Damn , sorry I missed this post

The DeWalt ProRac is a rack system that utilizes 4 mounting pylons that are through bolted into the reinforced roof , 2 / 66" long 2x3 crossbars that are slotted to accept T slot style attachments , mine also came with 4 load stops that fit the rails

The rack is rated to carry 400lbs

This set up was factory mounted by Leer when I ordered my Leer 100RCC commercial cap

 

Just as a reference here is what the cost breakdown for mine was:


Snug top rebel $1475.00
Front fold down window $75.00
Carpet Headliner $60.00
Vented Windoor(110 each) $220.00
Installation and wiring $85.00
Total minus tax $1915.00
Total with stupid sales tax $2056.83

Note: In some states you can register your truck as an auto when you have a permanently mounted camper shell. CA has this and it saved me 80 or 85 a year for registration (weight fee)... who knows why this makes sense bc you are actually adding more weight. This actually makes the price of the camper shell more reasonable when you account for the savings in registration. I also built a sleeping platform and will post pics of that in the next day or so (havent had time).

Hope this Helps

I will post more pics of the shell and sleeping platform soon... the sleeping platform is awesome! recommended to everyone!

 

Pics of the platform would be amazing!

 

Can't wait to get mine...2 more weeks!

Ordered a SnugTop Rebel with the sportsman's package which comes with the reinforcement (for my rtt), carpeted liner, clothes hangar and interior light. Also ordered a sliding front window.

I'll be installing yakima/thule tracks and having Tyler from Pelfreybilt make me a custom rack for my RTT/Rigid front led bar and rear dually's.

 

That's a great price, the El Paso TX Snugtop dealer wanted 1999.99 for the Rebel before any add-ons. That made the decision to get a Leer a no-brainer for me.

 

Snugtop Xtra-Vision front fold down window, carpet headliner, LED lighting,screened windows, paid $2290 out the door. Not sure if that is a good deal or not, but I love it!

 

Just got a call that somehow it showed up in 1 week instead of 3.

I'm half excited and half very sceptical....either way appointment on Sat to install it.

 

Anza?

 

Here's a pic of what OZ is describing. Awesome rack!



Looks like I'm getting some oxidation on the uprights. That's what I get for having someone else wash my truck.

 

Thank you sir

 

My Tacoma is 3 1/2 weeks old.
