Default Caps/ camper shells

I was just wandering your opions on caps. I dont like the ones that raise but think the ones that are flat on top could look good. I would like to hear opions and if anybody has one they dont want i would be interested in it

I had a hard tonneau cove on my 95 Ram. I loved the looks of it but it was a pain in the rear because you couldn't haul anything that stuck up above the bed. I liked it because it was water tight and could haul luggage or other "keep dry" stuff. I had a buddy that had one that rolled up into a box at the front of the bed- he had a power one but you can get the manual type or accordian folding type.

Love my century cap, I run it on in the winter and usually take it off in the summer.

My mom has a fiberglass tonneau and I don't like it because its a pain to mess with sometimes and limits load height like he said. But the dry space is really nice. A folding one would have been a much better, and better looking option IMO but its what she wanted so I didn't have much say lol

I like the cap. Don't care much about looks and the cap has more space. I'd buy one if I didn't already have a toolbox that sits on the bedrails

Sell it and look on Craig's list for the right one. I see them on there all the time.

I know it sounds stupid but thats not a lot of fun. I got it for free so I have a few bucks to make something for it. Id rather figure it out and make it work.

I have an ARE Brand that looks identical to this one ^^^. Love it. Comes off very easily if I need to actually use the bed for anything productive.
