I finally got my new shell yesterday, and it really compliments the truck. This is the third Snugtop I've owned, and it didn't disappoint. I ordered from Campways, as this is my third lid from them, and they back up their sales very well. On the higher side of prices- $2300, but the service is worth it to me. I also ordered a bedrug, but that will be a different post. The picture of the top shows the Yakima Tracks that came installed from the Snugtop factory. I've used these before, and the flexibility of throwing on another crossbar more gear, along with the clean, aesthetic lines make the choice for me.

I ordered with the windoors, and have found out they are not going to be as easy to use as my Tacoma's were- the bed wall is much higher as is the truck itself. there is a picture of my g-friend peering in, with the caveat that I am pulled over on the side of the road with the left side higher, but that was the lay of the land and I had to get home. (Through Yosemite to my home in Mammoth with weekend tourist traffic- more looking up and around than on the road). I will consider putting in a shelf just inside the window, for fishing stuff out of the bottom of the bed will be tough.

The rear window came with a slam latch, which is aesthetically pleasing, but doesn't do me any good here in Mammoth. In the winter I teach disabled sports on the ski mountain, and often we stash gear in my truck. Each person needs to be able to open the rear without a key. Also, here at 8000+ feet, these locks often freeze over, which means leaving the rear window unlatched, just closed. Finally, there have been issues with slam latches needing re-adjustment due to the cold, it's gotta go.

I've uploaded photos to my photo gallery, but it says they are in the queue- is there something else I need to do here. Also, how do I get the thumbnail thing to happen on the bottom of the post.
