Buying a shell, help me spend my $2-3k+ well

I would go with a leer or an are. Wait on my ARE is 10-12 weeks...so I would check on wait times also.

 

I went with the Leer 100R with the carpet headliner, removable front slider window and the roof rack tracks. The downside of the 2 T-handles (outside of taking time to unlock multiple locks) is you can't ever add-on an electric lock/unlock to your cap. The 100R has the framed rear window which doesn't look as fancy as the frameless window, however, it is also less expensive to replace. If you ever have any thought you might want a roof rack then get the tracks. You can add them after the fact, however, it will void your warranty. I am glad I went with the removable front slider. It makes cleaning the back glass on the cab easy. I agree with what the other posters have stated with the accessories adding up quickly and suddenly your $1500 cap has doubled. I wanted the windoors but I keep an old hook/push pole from the boat in the bed and it works just fine to get items deeper in the bed. Just a couple of thoughts. Good luck with the selection.
