    I am pretty sure. I think I remember it being an option on leers site. I plan on basically making a survival shelter out of it to trap heat in.

    Looks like its only the insulated roof. Which is standard. The carpeting will help a lot though.

    Nope, RTT is staying. Ill use it in the summer as I like sleeping in a tent. Plus the trailer idea has really grown on me.

    Well, might on occasion. Ill probably get the topper in august/September . Ill just leave it off for the winter probably and hopefully follow through with a plan for it.

    I need the dry storage and it will be easier to keep the topper heated.

    I hate thinking about gears. such a good upgrade but paying for it is like washing your mouth out with soap... just not fun.

    So Gage you plan on running the tent on top of the cap in the summer? unless you do a simple trailer?

    You and i though need it. well..more me then you..but im sure your wanting it too. But totally insanely expensive..and for me. I need at least one locker while im at it.

    I hear you there Monte. Mines an auto so I dont necessarily NEED gears but a locker would be extremely nice and it would probably be worth just knocking out both while it's torn apart.

    Gears help a ton man. My buddy Mike did 4.88s with his auto and 33s. Drives like stock or better. No more hunting for gears on hills and such. and the control for crawling is great.

    But yes...ARBs..what i have wanted from day one. People are always amazed i don't have lockers yet with the rig i have :laugh:

    Yeah that is true im always kicking off the o/d or switching down to second trying to pull a hill and maintain speed even with 32's, so i know its gonna get worse with 33's lol.
    I was surprised to find out you didn't have lockers in that monster checking out your build a while back. I wish our years had the e-locker option:pout: oh well lol just one more thing to add to the wish list
