    It took me 6 months to find mine. Be patient and also look at dealership, they usually take them offand put them behind the dealership before they put it on there lot. I found mine at a small used car lot advertising a truck with a shell for sale on craigslist. I called them, figuring they would say no but they accepted my offer and the rest is history. Good luck with your search.

    Thanks! No worries I just started looking yesterday lol. I have a really really good paint guy that is really reasonable on pricing so color is of no issue which should make it quicker to find.

    Mine was Barcelona Red when I got it. If you dont care about carpeted interior, roof racks, or windoors it will definitely make your search quicker. One more inportant thing, make sure its NOT for a regular cab. It will fit but you'll have a bigger gap between the truck cab and shell.

    Plenty of great products so far !
    Just looked on the snug top site. Nothing with measurement specs. Looks like my two Leers about 4 inches higher than cab roof. I'm 6'4" and it's still a bitch getting in them!

    I put mine in the back seat. Part of the reason I got a double cab.

    Mine rides in the bed. I also have a rubber bed mat to keep her from sliding around. She loves it back there.

    Thanks to @DC-USAF for pointing out to me that the dealer gave me the wrong canopy based on my previous pics. They installed the one for a regular cab but now it has been finally fixed and the double cab ARE CX has been installed.

    I went through a few pages to find what I am looking for but no success... Is there someone who has mounted a roof basket on crossbars on a leer 180 (mid raise cab)? I would like to see how high it is
