Oh I definitely overpaid, no doubt about that. Even just considering the quality of the product I received. But the equivalent Century didn't have the correct side window options that I wanted, at least as far as I could tell. My dealer was quite unhelpful and uninformed with regards to available options, and as I mentioned before the websites for these add-ons are quite sparse with specifics. So who knows. I originally wanted windoors with sliders on each side, but apparently this size (5' bed) is too small for that. But in lieu of that, I wanted a full slider on one side as my backup, not the rear 1/3 vent style that Century has. Unfortunate for sure, but such is life. I've made mistakes with money before, best not to think about it afterwards. hahaIf you decide to go the shell route, just get the Century version instead of the Leer. The come off the same assembly line from the same factories with the same materials and Leer and Century have literally plagiarized versions of each other's brochures yet the Century models cost far less than their Leer counterparts and the Leer owners always get butthurt about the fact that they overpaid for the same thing I have on my truck.
Sorry @the1mrb (Matt), you know I love ya even though you overpaid.
What size Yakima cross bars are these?Mine's a Leer 100XR. Decided to go one level above the base model since I plan on making this truck last awhile and might as well get what I want. I also minimized the options list, since I always had the intention of modifying it myself to make it exactly what I wanted. Around $2400 after a few discounts.
Options:
- Lock connected to the truck (locks/unlocks with truck keyfob)
- Driver's side windoor (pax side has the standard slider)
- Front window slider (to match up with slider on truck cab rear window) and removable
- Set of three 12V outlets
- Interior light
I've since added myself:
- Swingcase box on driver's side with Quikfist clamps for various items (accessible through the side windoor if needed)
- A cargo net attached to the ceiling on the driver's side (easily accessible through the side windoor)
- Yakima roof rack (Thule option from Leer was 2-3 times as much)
Those are the 60" ones. 50" would fit, since I put the towers 45" apart, and it would technically work with our pair of 24.5" wide kayaks laying flat next to each other. But unfortunately the towers are located right where the outboard kayak mounts should be located, so they need to push outside of the towers. So basically, because the towers are where they are, I need 60" bars to carry our kayaks flat.What size Yakima cross bars are these?
what are these?I have exactly the same issue. Everything that cannot get wet goes into a Plano latching tote with a rubber gasket. Everything else just gets wet. I have a medium and short one which fit snugly across the tailgate(2 high) and sort of “lock” onto each other. They never let a drop in, and cost less than $20 each.
If installed correctly, it shouldn't leak. I've had zero issues with my shell.I was wondering if anyone with a topper has issues with getting a good seal. Specifically I've read the corners at the front of the bed create an issue for installers
