Camper shell on regular cab night edition

[hunter99]

So I am considering going the camper shell route. I have a 2018 night edition in granite crystal metallic. Essentially it’s an R/T with black trim and wheels instead of chrome.

Anyway looking to see if anyone has done this on an R/T at all or even a night edition. Looking at the ARE Z cap or the SnigTop XTR version 2. My reason is for more useful space. I know some might see this is not what to do with the reg cab sport truck. I am not 100% sure. I saw one picture that I cannot find anymore and it looked good. I’m not into lowering so I don’t think it will look weird. Would be nice for the extra height and security.

Any thoughts and more importantly, any pics if anyone has done this?

As long as you get it color matched, with nice sliding tined windows, and it’s not one of those that sticks up above the cab, I think it’s a fine idea, if that’s what you want ...

Unless you need Infinite Height, for some purpose, I think Camper shells make sense.
Tired of a box full of leaves, snow, ice, etc.
Also, Camper shells provide some deterrent to casual theft, not to mention keeps everything pretty well protected from the Elements.
Single biggest advantage is fewer people want to borrow your truck to move their stuff. Big and bulky is a bother with a camper shell.
Even if it will fit inside.

Wait ? What ? Loan your truck to somebody ? LMAO ... I don’t think so ...

A clean cab high would look nice. However I can say much for that Snug Top XTR 2, imo that rack is fugly on top!

I agree on both ... Clean, no rack ... The rack makes ya look like the cable guy

Both shells you are looking at are top quality shells. With all the accessories they sell with them, they can get pretty expensive. I agree that cab height and color matched would look just fine. Don't forget to get a bed rug also, it makes the bed look a lot more "finished".

Thanks for the info. I should’ve mentioned only cab high. Wasn’t so sure about the rack on the snug top either. I actually prefer the ARE more. Agree about color matched, wouldn’t do it any other way. I know about the cost and I will have several accessories if I do go that route. Lastly, I have the bed rug. Been using them for close to 20 years. Always been great.

As for moving and loaning out my truck... Umm, no! Lol

Sounds like you got this ... Post pics when done ...

I think a color matched cap would look good, and of course then a Bed Rug. I had a Century brand on my 95 long bed, color matched. It came with a nice all glass type rear window, rear opening side windows. I ordered it with the carpet kit inside, and a front sliding window that could swing down for cleaning.

Love my Leer color match shell on my 2017 granite crystal metallic.

I really like my Snug Top Rebel on my long bed crew cab. I got it with tracks, so I can remove the racks. I have a BedRug, and then put a thick rubber mat down. I also installed air vents into the cap for additional ventilation.

Here is mine with Leer Cap and Decked system. Not as "cool" according to some people but 100% more useful!

That stripe went with the truck better when the cap was off. Not quite sure how to do it but I want a modern version of this...
