Hey Guys and Gals. I am looking at all the different options of camper shells and I am thinking of buying the Leer 100XQ. I am looking the pictures online but I can't find any good ones. Does anyone have pictures or know anyone with campers on 4th Gens so I can get a better idea of what I want? Here is a picture of my truck with a ARE camper shell that the truck shop was trying to sell me.

That would look good if it was molded into the body and color matched. Imo. Hopefully someone will chime in

Yeah that camper on my truck was another guys misorder so they threw it on my truck to try and get me excited about it. They would of painted it to match but I had a issue with the windows being smaller then the truck windows.

I haven't seen a single camper shell or bed cover I like for the Gen 4 Rams. That ARE would be ok if they where flush mount windows. I just hate that aluminum frame 1980's look. WTF?!

I like the fit/finish of the Leer cap I looked at, but I agree, it looks like it sticks UP at the back. I don't really like how it 'meshes' with the styling of the truck. (Like at all!)

That one looks good on your truck, but then it doesn't. I'm not sure why...

Yeah the ARE windows do not match that of the Dodge.

I found a picture of the shell I want on a 4th Gen. Good looking truck and the camper matches the style of the truck.

Do you guys think that would look good on my rig?

I live in Alaska and I spend many nights in the Bush and my truck is my bed. The Camper Shell will help keep me out of the snow and protected for the elements and most important wind. It will also be great for my Hunting Dog to stay warm. It's not for a fashion statement on my truck, however I want it to look good.
