    Just the basics
    Keep it simple. This is great. Are you able to close the tailgate with the cot inside?
    You should also share your pic on this thread:

    Yes...in the long bed you can close the tailgate with the cot in place. It's a simple, inexpensive solo rig this way. The extra 4" of headroom are great to have on this cap.

    I replaced some seal parts in an ARE on my Ranger - I sourced all the parts through the dealer.

    I think a lot of the parts are for shells only, not readily available on the market (I could be mistaken). Seems easier, if a little more expensive just to go the dealer.

    I installed all the parts myself, saving their installation cost. It was not hard at all to do.

    I upgraded to a SnogTop Hi-liner last year - I absolutely love it! I am sure you will too!

    PS - get the windoors. They are a game-changer!

    It doesn't stick up much when looking from the front but the back is taller looking. I really like it with the wheel combo.

    Instead of paint, it's a more abrasive finish. Takes scratching better - http://www.4are.com/product/otr_option/

    Looks great. Glad to see that your local dealer didn’t give you shit about the windoors and sliding vents combo not being possible per ARE.

    Wasn't even a question. They are good folks over at Timberline Toppers in Colorado Springs

    The V Series ain't the sleekest or sexiest line from ARE but I just love them. Second one I have had. Sliding windoors are a must have for me. So handy.
