    what are the options for cab height alum shells?

    alu cab is on the spendy side.

    swiss? not close enough on west coast

    ARE DCU / Leer (Century) DCC are both 23" and if I'm not mistaken thats 2-3+ inches over the cab

    wildandbill had a leer (below) that i messaged him about, thats sort of what I'm looking for. Good quality cab height alum without the alu cab price. It doesnt look 23" but maybe i'm wrong

    I love aluminum truck caps. But one word of advice, order the thickest aluminum skin you can afford. My ARE is the standard thickness and it is akin to cardboard. It dents if you look at it wrong.

    just talked with the local leer dealer, they offer a cab height version for the tacoma of the DCC (the original pic), its just not listed on their standard spec sheet
