    How does the Bilstein 5100 / 885 / AAL handle the weight of the cap plus weight in the back? I also have an AC (2010 45K miles) with stock suspension still on it. Looking to upgrade because of the added weight of a camping build with the truck bed cap. LMK

    I know I have shared some pics of these brackets I make for adding a little more strength and utility to the inside roof of a cap. Would there be any interest in a group buy if I set one up? They are laser cut from stainless steel and designed to use the same mounting locations as the roof tracks.

    Group buy is live

    It's doing quite well.
    I've posted several pics if you search my posts in this thread as well as others.

    What's up with NW Auto Accessories? I'm looking at ordering a Rack It Lumber Rack through them and having them install it. They'll have to notch my SnugTop, which I'm pretty nervous about tbh. I really don't want them to fuck it up

    It's complicated.
    I would go elsewhere, really. Their bad reviews continue.

    Haven’t caught up to all the posts so this might’ve been answered already. The used one I found was red and I had it line-x’d for $300 at a shop in Tulsa.

    @Arsenal1411 Just added the swingout.
    Still looks pretty good.
    I have full skids and a winch.

    Can anyone that has a Leer 100xq provide me with what strut model number they are using? I can't seem to find the right fit and the ones I have on currently are too strong and causing the locking mechanism to fail I believe.

    Is it a frameless window? Mine has a frame but i imagine they are the same especially if your back window looks like mine

    Mine is in the bottom middle area (don't have a good picture to depict it)

    Thank you for your post, I'll check it out on Amazon and measure to compare :thumbsup:
    MVIMG_20200329_175417.jpg

    This really helps too, I'll check it out on Amazon, realistically I'll buy both and keep the one that fits the best.

    Thank you
