Shell question

[jeeper]

I am looking for another shell now. Do we have a resident RME member that should be getting my business?

What do you guys think of this ‘mid rise’ shell? I can’t decide. I would live the extra room, but it’s kind of a bubble butt.

I can tell I’m old now because the functionality of that makes it look awesome to me .

But still young enough to question the old guy thoughts. maybe a rack on the top of the truck cab would offset the bubble back end.

Hell I’d go full on utility shell if it was in the budget

There us a used one in good shape on KSL. We kind of thought it would look a little too much like a work truck when we want to go somewhere nice.. like sizzler.

I've debated heavily though.

I have one of those in my work truck and I love it.

I’d buy that in a heartbeat. If you don’t like it then swap it out in the future.

@Tonkaman The utility shell was pretty hammered. I swung by Jordan Camper in Midvale.. I ordered a cab height with side window/doors. Now I just have to wait 5 weeks for it to show up 😭

5 weeks!!? Wow must be nice to get custom made parts for your truck 😉

I joined the old-man-truck-topper crowd a few weeks back, for the exact reasons as the OP- somewhere for my dogs, and lockable storage.

looking to add some sort of vent; been looking at RV roof vents with a small electric fan. Hopefully i can find one that sits low enough that it doesn’t make a ton of wind noise.

Ours has worked out great for the dog.
