Truck Caps

[sleepingbear]

Does anyone here have a truck cap or have helped put one together. Would like to hear your experiences. Thanks

Do you mean a bed cover or a cab high shell?

The cab high shells that come in a crate and you put them together

I had no idea. That one in the picture looks great. What is it made of?
I had a fiberglass topper on a pickup many years ago. I didn't like them because anything I want to get out always seemed to be in the front part of it LOL! I have a flip up bed cover (in 4 pieces that folds up) that I like really well.

Yeah, that's what is appealing about this one it has access on both sides. They are made of aluminum or stainless steel; I need one that also has vents or sliders in the side widows for hauling dogs. I have found three that fit that need. They have all kinds of options for Molle attachments.

Yeah, I have never done that. However, it might be what I do if I don't do the Excursion/Suburban thing in the other thread.

Ive hunted out of the back of my truck a lot over the years. I have a Leer canopy that the windows on the side flip up. It’s not a bad way to go and be super mobile.

I got quotes for a Leer and A.R.E and they were around $4000 to start. Having side access is really nice since inevitably you need something in the front. I do try to pack for that occasion though. Thanks for your input! I may very well end up with one.

Damn! I only paid $11,500 for the truck with the canopy back in 2008. Stuff is stupid expensive now
