The Leer 100XL and the A.R.E. MX look like almost exactly alike. Anyone else see that, or is it just me?

 

anyone here have their cap leak? is there a way to prevent water from getting in between the cap and the bed? More specifically at the point were the cap rests on the bed?

 

Getting my shell installed today, so ill be able to post pics later!

 

Romafern...I have a Leer 100XR. The front part of the shell like the corners area of the beds usually have a black rubber/tar material that is sorta built up to prevent leaking. I haven't put anythere and get a small bit of water in rain. Doesn't event puddle just damp. My back windows leak under direct water pressure (have to try) I'm mindful of it when I wash the truck. That probably varies with your seals and the life of em.

My 100XQ no leaks at all on side windows, but it wasn't used long term. A buddy has a ARE CX and no leaks either. If you end up with one use that warranty! Hope this helps.

 

Recently picked up a used snugtop (rebel i think) for a great price. It was white however I had it painted for a killer price.

edit: and man my hood looks so dull...

 

I will have to check my seals at the front of my SnugTop XTR. I think the vatos at the shop did not spread those seals you speak of. Unfortunately for me, I bought the shell when I was TDY in San Antonio and I am now in the worst place in earth known as Disgusta, GA. My closest dealer from me is like in Florida. I did adjust the seals on the side windows and it looks like that took care of issue #1. I will have to get a friend to help me take the shell off to inspect the bottom where it touches the bed. Overall, I am happy with my SnugTop.

 

Not a very good pic of mine but all I can get to at the moment. Its an A.R.E. and its held up very well.

 

My new shell!

Pictures are not the best, but that's all I got for now. This is a Leer 100XQ, with dual cloth hanger, dual dome lights and sliding and removable front window.

For the bed organisation, I took the general idea from this post by Wolf73

A.R.E MX Series cap

 

looking good!

 

How much was that cap? I'm trying to get an idea of how much the Z series are. Thanks

 

Nice bro! My set up is on a SnugTop. Waiting for my big bonus so I can get my Pungo 140

 

Mine took just over two weeks to arrive.

 

Nice shell CRIMAR30, it fits very well to your short bed.

 

Ordering a Leer XR tomorrow w/ headliner, everything else stock. Looking forward to not having to worry about camping stuff flying out of my truck and not having to carry my tools in my back seat. I will have to get a hitch carrier for my Mountain Bike. I was looking at the Thule racks but with the lift on the truck it's waaay to high to lift a heavy Kona up there.

 

Leer RCC Commercial canopy with DeWalt ProRac

This is the commercial version of the 100R , the roof is reinforced and the roof / rack is rated to carry 400 lbs

 

Looking good there OZ-T.... I love the look of canopy's on the long beds.

 

High five

 

X2, I find the DCLB out of proportion in it's natural state, but the shell corrects them.
