1st Gen camper shells

Tonneau cover. pronounced like Jon-o but with a T. fukt up way to spell it huh?

 

Doesn't everybody? It's common knowledge that it's the fastest color

 

Like how Thule is “Too-Lee”

 

This is weird because

I've also heard about people swapping them with perfect fitment. The t100 had 3 bed sizes as well right? or just 2?

 

THIS I did not know. I always said it like 'rule' but with the 'th'.

 

I only know of 2 T100 bed sizes. I just know that a 3” overlap is no bueno for me. There are FGT AC tops in my area, current ones available are either trash or overpriced. I’ll find one.

 

yeah I had an F150 before my tundra. Thought I was gonna use the shell. It was 4" over. couldn't do it.There's someone near me selling a.... lemme just find the ad. BRB

 

found it

 

That is the mullet of camper shells!

 

I love that camper shell, lol, love it

 

the minibike and gas tank would fit in the bed with the tailgate closed. Partially jelly.

 

Left it alone. It’s enamel, needs days to cure, I gave it weeks to fully harden. I should really use the flat razor trick to knock down the high spot and buff it out but it passes the 5ft test so I’m not bothering.

 

Arent you supposed to gel-coat fiberglass?

 

Right color, right place, roughly the right price, wrong cab type….

 

No regerts.

 

For someone in TN. I don’t like this style. But it’s for an AC. Price is high.

 

Do the other cap makers have a plaque?


I like that it's 'Tuna Red', but EC SB implies that there is a EC LB. And thats what i want. My Coleman cot it about an inch too long.

 

Skimmed through this thread, seems I can't get any 6.5 ft shell from a F150, silverado, etc and through on the taco.
It was to be specific to our 1st gens correct?

For reference I've been looking at sub $500 contractor shells in my area, they're mostly on chevys and ferds

 

Build one.

but the things that can be done with ladder racks is amazing.


eff it. Ladder rack & a pontoon boat. Add the pontoons to the trailer as fuel & water storage. Dont go much more than 50, but pontoon boats have some badass folding uv resistant canopies.

 

maybe 1 regert.

TG & window open fine, but my bed seems to be the local hangout.

 

@shifty` He's the hood. Had a few rock chips early on that I touched up but the paint has just peeled and spread over the last 10 years. Looks like a constellation. And no, I did not follow too close to a gravel truck that lost it's load

 

Interesting. The T-shape in grey on the hood, as you get up to the cowl (and in front of nearly the entire cowl) smacks of clearcoat failure. Is your truck clearcoated? I wouldn't expect that on a black truck, but we have seen a few members with black 2-stage paint jobs.

 

Texas sun, man. Takes a beating on everything. The roof is not as bad, but getting there. At least it's not peeling clear like some of the green ones I've seen. The sides on her look good still.

 

Gawdamn

 

Have you seen the people who take ladder racks, then use them as the base to create their own wedge style camper? Some of them look really good. Also is that a flippac or did you make your own?

Nice little pit bike

 

thanks & no, i have a cap. But before getting a cap my plan was a ladder rack with a tent on top.

 

For anyone in New England looking, here's one for an AC: (not mine)

 

Daaaamn it's got windoors too. Ugh. Way too far north for me though. But spot on exactly what I'm looking for.

 

If I was camping with that dude and he had a sense of humor, a stick or dowel or something would definitely be getting wedged between that door and the tailgate after he went to bed.

 

Out of curiosity did he say why he preferred the little shorty over a full length camper? I’ve seen that on Facebook for a while now and it confuses the hell out of me haha
