Question What about a camper...

Lately I've been kicking around the idea of slapping a camper on my truck just to switchit up. Maybe with a rack on top or just plain. Something the same height as the cab like a snugtop. What do u guys think? Anybody have some pics of their set ups?

I've always liked them. Some folks think they are for older people, but if you dress them up correctly, they look really good. Also, the right shell makes a big difference.


I think you should do it, post pics.

I've had trucks with uncovered beds, tonneau covers and caps, and even though I don't especially care for the look of the cap, it is what works best for me.

I also have a forklift at the shop to put the cap off and on with, so that is a major convenience if I want to use the bed uncovered.

This is when I first got the truck. It came with an ATC camper shell on it. It made the truck look really big. I got rid of it, but honestly, kind of miss it...

Go for it! Here's mine. I have a snugtop rebel with a Yakima rack on top. The rack definitely makes it look less like a "grandpa truck".

That looks awesome, I've been considering getting a camper and roof rack. Is that the Yakima LoadWarrior? If so, how'd you mount it? Did you use the mounts on the camper or have to add another mounting surface?
