Topper/Shell/Cap slides backward on bed rails

The reinforcing is in the roof and corner structures

Doesn't matter how far you distribute 400lbs on something that is rated for 150

 

Maybe, here is the side view image:



The Bolt can drive them pretty high up..

 

Placed an order today. $42.00 for four, shipped.

 

Answered my question... I thought it was strictly in the roof.

 

Leer site says 150# max
My RTT is 125#

I am conservatively below the stated maximum cargo capacity. If stress cracks and/or fractures appear, I'll have to go through proper channels, I guess.

 

Or his man...

 

MY WIFE and I...We just carry the tent around. 125#, period. Never, ever, would I consider going over the 150# max.

 

You don't sleep in your tent ?

 

sleeping in it would require exceeding the maximum capacity as set by the manufacturer. i would never do anything like that.

 

Here , look OP , I hope you don't have any issues with overloading your cap , and I certainly hope Craig doesn't either , my posts reflect the actual load specs from Leer for non commercial caps , the load rating is 150lbs because that's what the roof is designed to carry and consequently why they make commercial versions of the 100R and the 180R ( 100RCC and 180RCC ) for people that intend on carrying heavier loads on the roof .

On occasion you need to retighten the cap fastening bolts , my installer even mentioned this to me when I picked up my truck from the cap place .

Maybe the same guy that told you a 150lb rated roof could carry 300lbs wasn't aware of that

Good luck

 

It works cause I'm buff as shit.

 

All kidding aside, it really doesn't matter what Leer rates things at, does it? If it cracks, it goes back.

 

Thanks. I will probably give these a try since they are black.

 

Just a Note: the Allen Bolts they provide are only 1" in length. Too short to reach blocks, I replaced these with 1.5" in length.
I notified ebay seller they are too short.. haven't heard back..
