    Is that the ultra or ultra sport? Looks great either way.

    I've got a fiberglass camper that is flush with the cab, I'm thinking about putting rails on top to haul surfboards and a rack. Is it possible to drill one of these and have cargo rails installed? I really want a boat-top (taller) camper but I don't know where to find them

    I believe it is the ultra sport from doing my own research when I bought it. It came with it from the dealer and I didn't get any info on what cap it was. Appreciate it.

    If you call Truck Accessories Group (owner of leer, century, raider) with the serial number that's on the small metal plate in the shell, they can tell you what model it is and all the options it came with from the factory

    Had what I needed but it wouldn’t cart.

    Had what I needed, was slightly cheaper, and carted. Order placed.


    Thanks for the tips on places. I was going to try to seal the sides better with silicone but didn’t know that proper seals existed. Now to pull some measurements of the length needed.

    Anyone ever do an internal cage inside the bed to support the shell?

    Let me know if I should ask this in a different thread.

    I'm trying to find the Thule fit kit for mounting Thule Podium Feet to the factory rails on a Leer 100R cap. I've got the bars and feet picked out but can't figure out the correct fit kit.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Oh and beautiful trucks and shells!!!

    Thanks but that still doesn't help with finding a fit kit for the Thule rails on a Leer cap. Like most sites it helps me find roof racks and bars for my vehicle but the search engines don't work for caps.

    I have checked both Thule.com and Leer.com but neither site are able to help me find the exact fit kit, I eventually figured out that the Podium feet are for the Leer cap rails and a fit kit is needed but there are hundreds of fit kits from Thule.

    My podium 460's with the 3101 fit kit work on both the Thule tracks on the shell and the Rhino ditch tracks on the cab. The fit kit uses a pivot-to-lock slot nut that locks in a variety of different width channels. You can leave the 3101's permanently mounted, they have snap on caps you pop off to install the Podium feet and bars. Its easier to do this than removing everything. Same number of screws(2 each foot) but alignment is already done and the slot nuts can be tempermental so I prefer to leave the bases and remove the towers with the bars attached. I made up some larger slot nuts to give more purchase against tear out but they had to slide in from the track ends. You might be able to purchase something similar if you want. The screw thread is m6 x 1.

    Podium 460R is for aero bars
    Podium 460 is for square bars
    Both use 3101 fit kit for track systems.
