2014 Toppers, Caps, Campers

Finally got around to getting it put on today. Not the prettiest topper I've owned, but likely the most utilitarian.

I really like it. What brand & model?

[Spurshot]

It's a Snugtop, Hi-Liner model. I had to wait forever for it. They hadn't made the mold until recently.

Going to say I don't remember seeing one before. Looks good!

Looks good! Did it cut down the mpg?

Don't know if it reduced the MPG. Suspect it didn't help. It's only 4" higher than the cab, but that might make for a little loss. I love the room in the camper. When I get around to putting the bed drawers back in, they raise the floor 10". This rig is all about bird hunting trips. If I wanted sleek, I'd wouldn't have bought a barn of a vehicle, I'd have bought a Vette.

I'm looking for a tailgate Seal kit. Anyone know there are better options for the new trucks?

[ahahnu]

I bought the extang kit. Just installed my bed rug, and was looking at installing the seal. Looks like the gaps on the sides are bigger then the seal can reach. I'm interested to see who has it done and what they have to say about it.

 

I ordered my Leer cap last week. Should be here next week, two weeks the latest.

I ordered but have not installed the tailgate seal kit, I liked that it came with everything in one package.

The TrailSeal kit came in. I had one in my 08 truck. It worked well enough. Not perfect, but it kept out most of the dust and crap.

Looks good. I had the same one made by Leer and loved it. Is there a handle inside the topper to open it if you use it for camping etc.? The Leer didn't have an inside handle.

[FastZR1]

Yes- there is a handle on the inside to open the glass. In fact I've spent a few nights in the back of the truck when I've gone camping and the rain wouldn't stop for days.

I think I am going to miss my topper because there is so much use for it. With backup cameras it is so much better to see what is behind you when you have a topper. Maybe I did make a mistake this time getting a ReTrax bed cover because all these trucks that have a topper look great.

[FastZR1]

I agree Mattras. I like my trucks without the camper shell but I always end up putting one on because of the dry and secure storage I can get with the shell. My Dad always had one and it seems I've followed him with my last four trucks.

[Spurshot]

Once you're a camper shell guy, it's hard to go without one.
