    Great looking truck! Which SnugTop model is that? XtraVision or Rebel? I think its an XV, but wanted to confirm. Getting ready to pull the trigger on one soon and trying to justify the extra $1k for the XV over the rebel.

    Thanks! It’s a Snugtop Rebel, upgraded with sportsman package, yakima tracks and vented windoors to driver and Passenger side.

    Oh wow. It looks like it has the larger windows, similar to the XV. If that's the standard Rebel, I'll happily save the $1k!
    Thanks,

    My local Snugtop dealer offers the rebel that you can upgrade to larger side windows for a lot cheaper than the extra cost of an XV. It may be worth asking your dealer about.

    Thanks for the heads up! I thought I wanted the XtraVision, but after seeing Quikrete's truck, I think I PREFER the look of the Rebel. My truck has a similar look ('18 Platinum Crewmax in Magnetic Grey, RC leveling kit, flat black TRD wheels, 285/70/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers, etc.) and this was the first good profile photo I've seen of the Rebel. I like it.

    I called a few dealers in my general area and was able to find price variations of $500+ for the shell and options that I wanted. I ended up finding a reputable dealer who I've used in the past and put in an order for a Rebel with 2x vented/sliding windoors, LED kit, fold up front window w/ gas props, keyless pro E-lock, and a Yakima rack system. It was by no means cheap, but bested my local dealer's quote by around $600. I'll post up some photos when it comes in!

    Pulled the trigger on a SnugTop Rebel with some upgrades: 2x sliding windoors, prop-up front window, keyless pro lock, upgraded LED lighting, yakima racks, and a BajaRack cargo rack. Thanks for the inspiration here!

    Looks like a great fit with excellent features! Snugtop is best quality topper on the market.

    That looks mean man!!! What’s the OTD price if you don’t mind me asking. I’m shopping around for a cap.
