Icon10 Put a camper top on my truck

I love it. Normally I dont like flaresides with them because of the flare at the cab, but the benefits out weigh that a lot. I am very happy with it. Already talked to a buddy about building a custom rack for it.

Bought it new. It wasn't cheap, but thats mainly because I added some options. It was just shy of 1500.

Eh not bad how come you didn't opt for the one that is alittle less drastic where it meets the cab?? I had one of those and it made a steppy topper look much better just wasnt the right color and yes do the benefits definitely outway the look

That was the main thing holding me back, but I think the fact i'm lifted helps the look a lot.

I got the best deal with this one. It doesn't bother me that much though. I need to shift it a little, but I'll do that later when we start on the rack.

I need to paint my topper so I can use it some. I got it for free, so I think spending money on a paintjob will be alright.

I wish my windows opened like that

So have you noticed many blindspots? Seems like the flareside topper would be worse about blindspots

Agreed, it fits well.

Rack is going to be cool, can't wait to see how it ends up.
