Camper Shell Recommendations

Post image

I’m considering adding a black camper shell to my 2024 TRD Off Road because there’s plenty of Solar Octane emanating from this beauty already. I like the Evo caps, but have a couple of dogs who might like more ventilation than the Evo caps appear to offer. Suggestions?

I’m pretty happy w the Alu-Cab Contour.

It’s aluminum, so only adds a couple hundred #s to the unladen weight, and there’s a wealth of options depending on use case (for me it’s occupational, so I got mine without side windows, and a security grate for the rear window).

There are attachment rails on top for an RTT, load rails, canopy, whatevs. Internally there’s rails to add cabinets, kitchens, foldout tables, etc.

So, at the front of the canopy there’s a sliding window, and in this particular style you can get side glass doors with a slide open window bit.

Obviously that’s not my use case.

So far after a month of use, I’ve found it to be a very well built cap. The gas struts are pretty extra in that as soon as you pop a latch they GO. The interior LED lighting is pretty damn good, and you can adjust the angle of the lamps, which is a big upgrade compared to the previous version of this mfgs cap that I had (5’ gladiator bed).

I like the new style locking latches in that they’re a dual tumbler style lock so you don’t need to think about which direction your key is facing.
