Show me your shell!

I believe we went to the same dealer in Austin, they told me Snugtop is the most trouble for them, not because of quality in comparison to the ARE or ATC but because people expect perfection for that kind of money. I have bin to 3 leer dealers in town and all "suck" at costumer service, just trying to get a price. I am leaning toward Snugtop or ATC, ARE doesn't offer a commercial grade top for heavy loads.

 

I have the ARE CX series and have a front runner rack and have loaded up the rooftop tent and done plenty trips...... seems strong to me. I dk what you are trying to put up there

 

Glad it wasn't just me! Too bad because Leer looks like a nice product.

I may roll the dice with snugtop. I hate that the rebel doesn't have the sliding screen option. The more I think about it the more I need it for my swingbox as well as the dogs. The cost sucks but then again, some of the standard XV features are paid "upgrades" on the rebel.

 

Lumber. ARE does not offer a reinforced roof, if they did I would consider them.

 

I think their roofs are made thicker than what leer and snugtop consider "non reinforced". So in a way it kinda is

 

Really happy with my commercial Leer 100RCC for lumber loads

 

Too bad your Leer dealer sucks, mine is awesome. My dealer had Leer and snugtop on the floor to compare both at the same time. Lear XQ for me since it looked like it belonged there stock. Snugtop looked more like an add on and more obvious. To me both were good but the XQ won. My salesman did mention than Leer was easier to deal with on issues and getting replacement parts. I asked him which one he'd buy and he said Leer and then showed me his on his Tacoma. Sold.

 

One thing I wonder about ARE is why they are ok with windows and window cutouts which don't match up.

 

I am torn between the Leer 100rcc and the Snugtop pro, cost is about the same, the leer dealers here are less than helpfull. I agree the leer looks better, but I will no doubt mess up what ever one I get... It's a work truck:-/

 

Mine too

 

thx for the pics, looks great!

 

Got my bedrug mat installed!

 

I have a 2wd trd sport and I'm about to put on a camper do you guys suggest anything for the rear, are you getting sag since it's brand new I was trying to keep it stock but small upgrade can be down

 

Mind me asking what you paid for that and do you like it? I'm debating on making my own or actually doing a whole Bedrug

 

I almost did my own but ended up just dropping $150 on this. Well worth it in my opinion. The floor of the bed has so many ribs it wouldn't be worth it to DIY in my opinion.

 

Only 150. Good carpet would be close to that anyway. Thanks for sharing

 

Hahahahaha he said "loads"

 

Do you have a short bed? I have a full bed rug set that I am trying to sell. It covers the entire bed to include the tailgate.

 

I do quad cab short bed.

 

Finally part of the club. Got the ARE CX. It has the carpet head liner with the fold down sliding front window.
