    ^ This. Same thing is happening with electricity. PG&E put in a rate increase request because with so many going solar and switching off of incandescent light bulbs, we're not using enough electricity and that means lower revenue. So they plan to increase rates. I feel sorry for those that are paying for those solar panels and will soon have to pay PG&E too. The message here folks is damned if you do, damned if you don't. :D

    So who has bought a cap/shell anytime recently in the greater Sac/Foothill/Vacaville area? Any recommendations, especially based on customer service/warranty/quality issues?

    I'm in the market for a Leer or Snugtop, and Campways is the obvious local choice for me and deals both. Spoke to Shaun today on the phone, seems pretty straight up.

    Last time I bought one was from SCATT in Roseville, it was fine, but they seme to only carry ARE now, and that was...holy shit 20 years ago.

    Any other recommendations/places to avoid?

    You dick!

    I doubt I would every find exactly what I want anytime soon. And I am so used to having one, I feel like I don't really have a truck without one..fucks up my SOP.

    AND they changed the silver in...what, 2012? So the odds of the right color are not stellar...
