How much did you pay for your truck topper?

Ahhhh Cheap camping trip to one expensive ..... Had my first ticket when I was 18 then my second one at 24... memorial weekend...... I should've been more careful... Good thing everything is slow so i can rack up some dough.

 

Seems like a very good option!! Ever had any problems with water getting in the bed?

 

That seems like a very fair price!! Thanks for sharing.

 

That’s cool how it rolls up! Every had any issues with water getting in? Going out west with bears concerns me too with going soft.

 

Dang, that’s a good price! That’d be exactly what I’m looking for. Appreciate your input

 

$2600 ARE classic - carpet, light, vented windoors, tilt down front window, Yakima rack locking towers and aero bars -Brown’s Truck accessories - Forsyth IL
Great install work too. Saved money driving a couple hours from Chicago.

 

$350, used Century in great condition

 

I originally had a softopper that I bought second hand for $450 (IIRC) and sold for $400 (IIRC) I really liked the looks of it and it was easy to fold down. BUT, it wasn’t dog friendly. I now have an ARE Cx (Mx?). It is heavy but I love it WAY more than the softopper and so does my dog. I bought it second hand for around $1k. It was white and that was fine for a couple months until I got my tax returns and used $550 of that to get it painted black.

I would dare to say I see similar MPGs with the softopper vs the ARE. Yes, the ARE is a heavy bastard but the softopper has no aero to it.

 

I think we paid 740$ In the softopper group buy. Brand new

 

ARE CX Series with optional Yakima roof tracks, fold down front sliding window, carpeted ceiling, LED bed lights - installed $1684.55 plus tax, last year - Little Stream New Holland, PA



MGM gets a green hue from the leaves and grass.

 

What are YOU looking for in a canopy? Is it something you’ll leave on mostly all the time? Or do you want to be able to remove it easily? Are you storing items in it? Have you looked at some of the different bed racks? Tonneau cover?

 

I think $3200. ARE CX, windoors, Roof Rack, Folding/sliding glass.....

 

I personally have zero issues with water getting into the bed. Results can vary though between trucks. I moved my softopper rails a little further up than the instructions state to cover that famous gap at the front of bed rails. By doing so, I’ve had no leaks of any kind. Take care.

 

Looks great! $1k is a steal for that thing. I appreciate your input as well going from a soft topper to a hard topper. Thanks a ton!

 

Very nice! Were the flip up side windows worth the extra money?

 

Right on!

$750 shipped.

 

One is super easy to make and install:

 

They are about $450/per windoor. I would absolutely buy them again. Every time I open them to get something in the bed, I think about how much I like them.... I've had it for a few years.

They aren't cheap, but way useful.

 

Nope. Bed is dry. In fact I have the twin foam mattress ,pillows,comforter and sheets on the bed at all times. I did buy this https://www.autoanything.com/access...MIv6vOhuTZ6QIVEdbACh3OvAZyEAQYBCABEgIDFPD_BwE To prevent dust in the bed.

 

About $3300, Leer 100XR, Denver area
