    I think I pretty much know the answer, but since we're all about great financial advice.....

    I'm debating on switching out my topper for one with functional side windows/doors.

    Found a great price but it's steel..... it would be another maintenance item as far as rust-proofing.

    https://bangeroverland.com/products/banger-mk-2?variant=42757359042671

    Aluminum options are easily 4k and up but the weight savings and less maintenance would be awesome.


    Thinking of trying out the Leer dealership and seeing if they can just swap out the windows on my fiberglass one. Truly love that it's color matched.

    Just needs windoors and a roof rack.

    Weight and cosmetics are not my thing... but spending money is. 4k is just a pittance. Spend with a clear conscience knowing you could easily spend four times that (hanging with this crew...)

    If you really like the cap you have, I think it's definitely worth looking into customizing it.
