Hi Ed,

Thanks for sharing! That sure is a nice looking cap We appreciate you giving our product a try. Enjoy!

I need a cap! I'm in Ohio too, where did you get this?

 

Here in Cincy a Line-X shop is the local rep. The factory is up near Cleveland. Go to 4are.com and you can find a local dealer.

 

I got a quote from there once and almost had a heart attack. Same with snugtop and leer. I'm working on finding a used one right now

 

While your on the ARE website get the current coupon deal. They always have some rebate or free stuff.

 

They aren't cheap. I finally convinced myself the money was worth it and after having it, I am very glad I did.

 

Nice cap OP,looks good.

 

Added a Yakima roof rack.

Landing Pad #1, skyline towers, Core bars.

 

Man that looks nice! Can you drive with the side windows open? I have a huge dog that rides in the bed at times and was debating on the windows you have vs sliding side windows that open like half basically

 

I don't know if A.R.E. says it's okay but I have driven with both or one WinDoor up with my dog in the back and it works fine. I have the sliding fold down front window also. I have opened the slider in it fully and kept the side and rear doors closed and I can see my dogs fur being blown around and he looks happy. When I park and don't take him out, I open at least one door.

I keep him on a short leash while in the bed.




That just sounds wrong to say.

 

did you add the yakima? Or did it come like that

I just added an ARE to my truck, and need to figure out how to add a set of Yakima bars.

 

I ordered the cap from A.R.E. with the rails mounted at the factory.

I bought the bars, towers and landing pads from REI.

Landing pad #1
Skyline towers
60" corebars
SKS locks

 

cool, thanks. How long are your tracks? I'm looking at a complete set up from Amazon for $370. says the tracks are 42" Take a look.

Yakima - ControlTower with 42" Track, Roof Rack System

I haven't measured my track length but 42" seems likely.

The Amazon setup you have uses the older round bar...those make noise at driving speed - just be aware.

 

Do you have pictures of the clamps that are installed in the bed. I hear they get integrated into the bed rail system and are special clamps. Getting my CX installed tomorrow and just want to make sure they use the right clamps and don't mess it up.
