    No problem! good deals are hard to come by, they go quick. I found one just like you described for my truck but it was a long bed and it was in white. I ended up color matching it myself for a couple hundred bucks. After sleeping in the back of it a few times, I've decided I want a high top now with windoors.. that's a total long shot, but I still look everyday online lol

    Good luck with the deal! we're gonna need some pics once you get it!

    If your going to be sleeping in the back the carpeting is supposed to absorb any condensation so it won't drip on you. Thats one pro for carpet.

    It's pretty much just whether or not it has a carpeted headliner. The only time I would say the carpeted headliner is really handy is if you sleep in the back, it prevents condensation from building up on the roof and walls inside. Other than that, it doesn't do much and is all personal preference

    The mounting hardware shouldnt be too big of a deal, but id still offer them 400 or 450 cash since hes missing that and the keys.

    Mounting hardware can be bought from this website:

    http://www.truckoutfittersplus.com/store/topper_parts_clamps.htm

    The keys are pretty easy too, just have to look on the handle and figure out what the key code is. I got a replacement key cut for mine off of this website since mine only came with one and i wanted a backup

    Also, that cap looks alot like timberland mica! Super rare color, im surprised thats what it is

    Leer 100XQ found on CL...Paid a little under $500... current retail on Leer's site @ $2,500.

    Funny thing is that the original color matched our silver truck. Seller had it painted red at some point.

    It's in fairly decent condition... window pistons/shocks don't open all the way without a little help, but it doesn't bother me too much... May replace them at some point...

    Here's a website that has the gas shocks for sale. You can look on the TAG# on the shock bodies and then cross reference them to the right part# from this website. I have a leer 100r and used this site to figure out what I needed, then I bought a set off Amazon for half price. It was 20 bucks shipped to my door for a pair
