Oregon and Washington BS thread

I got mine from Leer Truck accessories in Oregon City back in 2014. Quick and easy install. Haven't had any issues with it at all. Great purchase.

 

I've been calling around to get prices on all canopy brands.

Canopy World, surprisingly, was the most reasonable.

 

I pulled my fender liner forward with zip ties to clear my tires so I didn't have to trim

 

Bob Top on TV hwy near Brookwood, sells Century canopies (made in the same factory as Leer, said to be Leer with a different badge, badge size is the same and identical spot)

 

They were the most expensive even when I bought a canopy for my Tundra. At the time they were $800 higher.

 

interesting

the century was by far cheaper than any model relatively close when i shopped for one in august, but i didn't search in PDX/across the river

 

I was looking at ARE at the time. If I remember correctly, Bob Top doesn't do ARE anymore?

 

Correct they only do Century and Leer I believe, from my interaction with them it sounds like they strongly encourage Century because of the product being the same, and it being more flexible with pricing than Leer.

 

I haven't had any experience with Century or Leer. I've been a fan of ARE because I had good luck with it on my Tundra and love the look of the Z series. Does Century have a similar model? Do you like yours?

 

truthfully I didn't do much comparison, I wasn't looking for a fancy/streamlined one. Just one with a roofrack that'd support my RTT and have windows suitable for the dog.

I was iffy about it, even after I bought it because I have never had a canopy before.

but after taking it on WABDR and hitting all the washboards this summer, I am very confident in my canopy. It may age my truck, but thats ok. function > form

 

Right on. Thanks.

I'm sort of at that point with mine. Especially living up here.

 

Anybody going to head out and play in the snow on some back roads around Vancouver Washington? Like to take the kids wife and dogs out. Not sure we're to go. Other wise we're heading to Mount Hood.

Found some snow last night

 

As of Monday the 19th I will be in Vancouver for about 5 weeks so if you are still looking then just hit me up.

 

Mine are bolt on, but I would go with weld on if I did it again. Mine are gusseted the full length of the slider and held by 14 bolts each side. If you hit hard, any slider will flex up and hit the pinch weld, but weld ons are stronger than most of the bolt ons unless you modify them.

 

It was a forestry position with Stimson.

I goofed off with the Baja club.

 

Been having visitors the last few nights.
