A.R.E. Overland Topper

I'm thinking about putting one of these on my truck. I wonder if anyone here has one and would be willing to share some pics? Also, any input on what options are a must have (or just nice to have). I actually would prefer the SnugTop XTR but they don't make them for a 6.6' bed (according to their website). Any input would be appreciated. I know a lot of people here don't care for toppers/shells, but this will make my truck more useful to me (which is what really matters, right?).

Mine has a SnugTop, not sure what exact model it was. Nice options to have are the single center handle on the rear opening, rather then one handle on each size. Mine came with a fully carpeted interior that was also nice to have.

Turbo Dog,

I really appreciate your input. I really like the SnugTop toppers. I am looking for a topper with a roof rack to carry my fishing pontoon and other gear when I head into the mountains. I really like the SnugTop XTR but they don't offer it for 6.5' beds. The Overland is my second choice.

I have an Overland on my truck. It's rugged, well made and I'm very happy with it. I love having the all weather carrying capability and versatility of a cap. I got mine with the roof bars so I can throw a ladder or long lumber on top and that's very useful. I recommend the LED door light.

Thanks Falco. What color is your truck? Mine is dark blue and I'm wondering how the two tone paint/liner will look. Do you have any pics?

My truck is charcoal grey. The paint match is great BTW. Should look excellent in that dark blue color. I don't think you will be disappointed. I'll try to get you a picture of mine.
