    It is a love hate relationship, but overall I love it.

    CONS:
    -Took three times, 2 shops, 6 months, and $175 to finally get it sealed 99%. Water will still come through the rear slider if I go through a car wash, but it minimal.
    -Prefer the looks of the truck without a shell or a shell with smooth side glass
    -Heavy and had to put Sumo Springs in to handle the weight, close to 300lbs with the Leer Locker
    -Windoors and main opening cannot be keyed alike, so I have to carry 2 keys

    PROS:
    -Super Functional, can put anything in the back with confidence that it will not get wet or messed with no that it is sealed
    -Windoors are great for camping and side access
    -Have the Leer Locker which makes for a nice concealed lockable storage while still being able to use the full extent of the bed

    Overall the fact that I can put almost anything back there, lock it, not have it get wet or messed with is the most beneficial thing for me.

    Hey @mesojdm,
    Where is this other For Sale thread please so I can FN subscribe!!!!?????

    On a side note, did you see Winjet fixed that FM Radio interference issue? They added ferrite coils.

    I thought I kept seeing on this thread that when you have tails for sale you post that announcement on a different thread?

    Or am I just really old and burnt out?

    "I make them from time to time(different variations) and then post them up here for ya'll"

    :notsure: maybe I don't understand but "up here" means this thread to me.

    Of course that was October of last year and we all know you have a lot of irons in a lot of fires.

    Certainly don't want to be that pushy guy. Plus, we both know, I'm patient. In the imortal words of Mick Jagger - Time is on my side.

    Just gives me more time to save up for whatever the darkest, coolest version you come up with is. Those Pro's are sexy though.

    Well, I have the Ultimate LED Turn Signals, Ultimate LED Maps, and plan on getting the Ultimate LED Dome so why not just keep putting awesomeness on my truck and hope I get lucky with some Meso Ultimate LED Tails.

    If I could have, I would have just started at the top with the Dragon Eyes! But alas, more a mythical creature than a unicorn.
