    I feel like I have seen the flip up side windows (which are awesome!) with the built in screens and sliders, but I am not 100% sure. I would bet it's a pricey option, and it may not be something you can get from Leer, though most of these manufacturers has 180 equivalents. The only thing I can think of is that the latching mechanism would have to be designed differently for that sort of window, since it would prevent the window from sliding in stock form.

    Having a long bed gives you more options. Yes Leer makes a shell with vented windoors for the longbeds.

    The slider doesnt go the full lenth like normal windows. Its just a section out of the center that slides. I have pics of mine in my build thread.

    I will have to get in tough with Leer again. I am trying to decide whether to go with the M180 which is higher than the cab of my Tacoma or go with the staight accross look. It's a tough decision. I also hope that Leer has the option where the front window folds down for easy clean in between the cab. I learned all this stuff from this thread. I'm glad I found it.

    Ill second that! My battery one dies before I get to use it. Don't know if it is from the temps or what. I am gathering supplies to hard wire some LED strip lights inside and on the windoors to light up around the truck for camping.

    This is the problem I always have with mine. The light output sucks too. I'm going to do LED strips back there soon enough.

    Everything I can see online says 200. My leer is about 250 and I know snug tops are lighter.

    I'm thinking of getting a cap, what has been done to seal the gate to keep dust to a minimum? Also in LA Ca the quote for a snug top rebel was $1820.00, this about right?

    Price sounds about right. There is a rubber seal that runs along the bottom of the glass.

    Looks good! :thumbsup:

    I know the area. That whole section is clear and runs about 2-3 inches so it's nothing special. I just liked the pic so I had to show off my shell!
