    Glad to see people happy with the company. Mine is still a skeleton on their shop floor, taking a bit longer than expected, but the end results look sweet so trying to stay patient.

    It is for sure not a sleek look like you have. But, for what I use it for, it's just right. Been having so much fun rolling out to the beach. If you are feeling it, go for it!!

    Just got the LEER 100XR. I definitely noticed the added weight but it seems to ride a bit smoother.

    Nice! How do you like it? Also, are you on stock suspension? I noticed the added weight dropped my rear end a bit. Thinking about a upgraded leaf pack.

    Love it, wouldn't do it without windoors. Had some trouble with my back hatch popping open but I finally fixed it. Had to get the struts replaced too cause it wasn't opening by my leer dealer is great.

    I have OME all around so Dakar lead pack, I have the xtra leaf I recently ordered that I'm gonna put on too.

    ooo, I can play now! Picked it up from a fellow TW member for $280, and just ordered some tailgate seal and a really thick seal for the front. Want this as water tight as I can get it.

    I'm starting with some tailgate seal, and the front rail seal that's linked on the bottom of the page. After that, I'll hunt down any leaks and seal with silicone, or that butyl tape that's also linked at the bottom.

    It really feels super roomy! I had the bed height built so my husband could sit up perfectly straight and still have at least a few inches of clearance. At 6'3" he has plenty of space inside. The over cab storage holds a TON of stuff too. Should have a 100% finished photo by this weekend!! YEW!!
