    I kinda like them yellow, but thinking about painting them to match the truck. I could also go with black. What do u think I should do with them?

    I hope to paint the badges next week the same color as the truck.

    Yeah...it's a Leer 100R. I went into the Leer dealer expecting to order a 100XL, but they had this 100R that "a Toyota dealer ordered by mistake" in my color. And it had the sliding front window option. They sold it to me minus the Toyota dealer's deposit, for under $600. I just couldn't pass up that kind of a deal!

    It does what I wanted the cap to do. It just isn't as deluxe.

    And my bike rails are now black!;)

    you have the same camper top as i do on my truck.

    just some advice, i dont know if you ran into this problem yet but
    the weather stripping at the bottom of the back window started to
    skuff up my paint at the top of the tailgate. I thought it was just dirty
    at first but after a while of trying to clean it off it never did come off.
    so i removed that weather striping.

    it is supposed to keep water out but even after removing the strip I
    still do not get water in the bed.

    how long have you had your camper on?
    i didnt see this issue until it was on for a little over half a year or so.
