Am looking for recommendations on an Aluminum cap for my Tacoma. Would prefer one manufactured here in US. Thoughts and experiences on your Alum shell?

As many as I can fabricate

ARE and LEER. I like ARE better but the other is a bit cheaper. I made mine and it's for sale (6' bed) but I'm buying the ARE in a few months.
