Truck Cap Decisions

the reviews are good, and i've had stuff done to my old truck there before and everything went well. that silicone though is a mess. didn't even attempt to make it look good.

 

Got my leer 100xq used. Thought I was driving from Colorado to Az to pick it up but the guy was actually coming to Colorado so I scored big time.

 

Yuuugggee!

 

I had an SUV believe me they don’t have the cargo capacity of a truck when hauling wife, kids and dog. I’d prefer the look without, but in terms of functionality, for ME, a cap is the way to go. But thank you for your sage advice.

 

I’d have them take it off, check the bed for being square, check the cap for warping etc, then reinstall maybe using bulb seals and some silicone under the head rail instead of on the front. I’ve heard of people needing to square up the truck bed due to misalignment somehow.

 

I wish.

 

That’s a decent price with those options. Tilt slider isn’t cheap I’m guessing. I’m tempted by the used. Called a Rhinoliner company that’s not the same stuff as LineX. Looked at maybe just trying it myself with some raptor liner roll on stuff. If I could score it cheap enough I could live without the extra options, and if it looked decent might be at least in break-even territory waiting to find a color matched used cap. I did grab cash today just in case I take a snowy drive to check it out over the weekend.

 

The windoors with aluminum panels as opposed to glass with the folding T handle locks were like $600 a pop (x3 lol). Tilting slider was $90. And i've never used it because I built shelves on one side and it only opens about 2" now...

You could also look into vinyl if you don't want to line it.

 

Leer xq long bed, if this is useful.

 

I’ve been interested more and more in the utility/boxy type shells in black. If I could score a deal on this I’d sell my mgm dcsb are cx shell in a heart beat!

 

Gives me a good idea what it will look like, most pics I’ve seen of LB caps have been from angles hard to get an idea of the side profile. Want to sell it lol.

 

Thought about wrapping it, not sure how much that would cost. Google says wrapping is more $ than painting at least for a car...

 

Tri-County Trucks; they might be the only snug dealer east of the Mississippi?..
I think my hi-liner was 3200 with the reinforced roof and windoors. I chose non-tipping front glass, one less thing to possibly leak.

 

If you dont mind. How much and where did you purchase? Also which options were i included on this price. Thank you

 

I got a quote from Tri-county for a couple of LEER & Snug models and they were really high. That was at their Oak Forest location though. I’ll give the round lake store a shot and see if they are more reasonable. Was go8ngbto be around 3500 for a mid-rise with my options. Someone snagged the used silver topper today, so I’m actually kind of happy that’s not eating at me. I’m better off getting what I want and not messing around with trying to get it painted for another $500 or so.

Not sure if this fits third gen beds, but I just put this up today. ARE DCU with ambulance doors.

Aw day! AW DAY!!

 

It's in post #78 on previous page.

 

Because they lack space unless you by an Excursion or Suburban or Escalade. The roof cannot be removed. Hard to haul smelly stuff and not have the cab stink, easier to wash out truck bed. A bit of security.
