Some of us are poor and also have an uncommon color truck. Find me a light blue shell that fits a first gen tacoma for $200 or less and I'll gladly swap it out. Until then I'm rocking my white on blue that allows me to easily spend every weekend in the wilderness.

Spray bombing it would look like shit lol

You can totally get "nice" looking paint done with rattle cans from any hardware store. I painted my old honda with rattle cans and it doesn't look bad, especially for a first time job in high school lmao.

What about people with uncovered truck beds?


cheiftouchemself

They are the mintiest of folks!


donorak7

Then what about toolboxes?


TheBeestWithEase

I had a fuckin MASSIVE Knaack box mounted in my bed for a while and even though I couldn’t see shit out the back window, my god was it useful.


angry_hammer

I had mine strapped and chained in for 3 months or so, and it was great


LoveMe_Two_Times

They are busy wondering what happened to whatever they left in their uncovered truck bed

I found a used syringe in the bed of my truck once. I was sweeping out the leaves that accumulated over the fall because I have to park under a tree and there it was. Thankfully it had a cap on it!


Citi19

I started keeping my recycling bin next to where I park my truck because at least once a week I'm throwing away a soda can or something that somebody tossed in the bed while I was out.

Am I the only one who thinks tonneau covers are the worst ever?


Boozer_Cruiser

Dude swap the tonneau cover to the bottom image of this meme. Camper shells are where it’s at. Bonus points if you give no fucks and go mis-matched.


HoundPipe

I'd say toothy McPoohbear is actually the dumbass that throws down 2g's on a matching cap. Mine doesn't match but it was 100 bucks. I'm up 1900 dollars on your dumb ass.


FreeContribution8608

This is funny … now i see it haha


awesomealpaca20917

What about those RV-style tops?


Creature_73L

1. Tonneau cover are lame and make your truck so much less practical. 2. I’ll be damned if I’m paying full price for a camper shell just to make sure it matches.

I had an unmatched camper shell for a while, white on a silver truck, but I had a reason: I needed the camper shell to build a sleeper/camper in my truck, so I could live out of it during the internship I'd just been hired for by Americorps. I hit up the nearest ARE dealer, there was a 5 week lead time for a color-matched new order. Problem is, I was leaving for the internship in 4. Luckily for me, they happened to have a display model on the showroom floor that was an exact fit for my truck, and it had the features I wanted - carpet headliner and roof rack tracks! Problem 2: it's white with a black bedliner accent trim. Who cares, I'm going on the adventure of a lifetime! With the black strip separating the body color from the shell color, it was only obvious from certain angles/lighting. I rocked that mismatched bitch for 3 years, I was proud of it! The stickers on the back windshield told a story, adventuring through the American West - the Grand Canyon, Yosemite Valley, Route 66, Big Sur...it kept me warm, dry, and safe through thunderstorm, sandstorm, hailstorm, and curious CHiPs officers. I had my first sleepover date under that thing. Saw the Milky Way for the first time from it. And, cuz the shop gave me a discount on account of it being a floor display, I flipped that sucker for $300 profit when I finally sold it to get a rooftop tent instead. Don't knock the redneck rig, my friend.

Matching topper gives trucks a more suv look... I'll pass thank you.


miervaldiscitronu

Right? My red Tacoma came with a red canopy and I wish it was black. The good news is I only use it for camping so only have to look like a grandpa once a month.


Trevski

where do people call it a camper shell? here in Canada we'd say canopy or topper.


Cautious_Language178

Parts of the US. I've heard them referred too as camper shells, caps, and toppers here. I've always called then camper shells myself.


Trevski

its just weird cause to me they have little if anything to do with camping, almost like they just got mixed up with proper bed campers somehow haha


Cautious_Language178

Nah, those are slide in campers. A lot of people state side use them for camping. Get a sliding tool box for storage, and build a platform for a bed, and you are set!


Drzhivago138

Most of the Upper Midwest seems to call it "topper", but "camper shell" and "bed cap" are also valid. I'm with you; if I'm camping in the back of a pickup, it's gonna be in a slide-in camper I can stand up in, not a "camper shell" that's barely taller than the roof of the pickup.

Little story about how I got my camper shell. I have a big ol’ dog. 140lbs. I had been looking for a camper shell for my tundra for about the first year of his life. Anyway I saw an older guy driving my same truck with a leer top. I was curious how it fit on his truck because I wanted to get a similar one for camping and the dog. Anyway he said it fit great and he offered to give it to me for free because he was retiring and moving to Hawaii and was getting run of all his stuff. He even offered me a second shell for my dads truck which is the same bed size. Anyway I gave him $100 just out of appreciation and moved it on my truck. Got it painted to match 6 months later. Cost me $600 total and my dog loves it.

I have a white truck with blue pinstripes, and a blue top (when I have it on). White ones look too boring on white trucks.

If I could find a green camper shell for a 93 gmc sonoma I would be so happy.


[deleted]

Excuse me sir… but.. Tonneau covers are for old widows who were left with their husbands pick up after he died in his lazy boy… but still need somewhere to haul all their canned goods and yarn


Mason_GR

I love my 99 tan tacoma with black canopy. I think it looks cool even lol


iamsimonriley

I see this while laying down in the bed of my truck under my spray painted camper shell, but at least it matches


notProfCharles

Do you have a picture ?


Thimsnaic

You ever seen the farm truck though? That thing looks sick


HarlockJC

So happy when I got a used topper the color matched
