    The same shit everyone else has.
    Craigslist. FB marketplace. Offer up. Let go. Ect. Start looking everywhere and when pops up be ready to move quick.

    I found mine after a year of looking on Marketplace for 400$.

    I found my ARE for $600 in Renton, seen plenty go for about the same after I got mine.

    Found my Leer canopy on FB marketplace from a guy in Bonney Lake for $200. I looked for over a year. It is a perfect color match to my Pyrite Mica and a LB. A little beat up; had some serious fiberglass dings at the lower corners, but touch-up paint minimizes the damage. Guy said the previous owner dropped it trying to take it off his rig by himself. Ouch!

    You just saved me a huge headache. Was just setting up a deal with a guy to buy a cap off him. I then realized he has a regular cab, I have an access. Was too focused on the 6' and 2 doors, didn't notice it wasn't an access. Angle of the pics didn't help much either.

    I ordered a brand new Leer for my 2011 AC back in 2013. When I traded the AC for my current '15 DCLB I just moved the cap over to the DC. It didnt line up perfectly with the cab but honestly it didn't look terrible, just a little more gap, maybe 1-2 inches at the most.

    If you get a good chance at a color matched 6 ft cap, AC or DC, I'd take it..

    Got the cap! It ain't color matched, it might need a new seal on the back, and it's not insulated, but besides that it's in good shape for $250
