    I got the Leer 100RCC and so far its been great. I got it for the added strength for an RTT, should I decide to try one. It was significantly more expensive than the regular model 100.

    No idea, never tried one.

    Practically stole this Leer 100R on Facebook for a whopping $150 still in mint condition! The mismatch bothered me at first but I'm starting to like it.. makes it easier to spot in a parking lot ;)

    I've gotten used to the two tone theme.

    You should get the top half of your truck painted white to match, that would look pretty clean!

    Plastidip is always tempting! I actually might have a local shop color match for $200 once I grow tired of the 2 tone.

    Thanks for the thread! Timberland's are beautiful especially when the sun hits it just right. Did you get it color matched? If so, are you happy with how it turned out? I'm considering but don't want the color to be slightly off cuz that would just irritate me more than the 2 tone.

    I actually painted it myself. And id say the color match is 99% right but, im ocd so it isnt 100% perfect.

    Heres a link to the thread i used

    Someone on here had theirs Line-Xed and it looked real nice. Cost about the same as having a paint shop spray paint on one.

    If one were to have it line-x coated I would recommend Monstaliner. I coated my rear bumper in it and it came out great. It's a really nice diy product
