Looks great!
What model ARE is this? looks fantastic!
Probably be a bit pricey to buy a topper from Chattanooga, TN, and then ship it to Rock Valley, IA. hahaARE CX Series with the Yakima Racks on top. For specifics, give my man Matt a call at 423-876-1990 ext 403. Tell him you saw Jaime's camper shell on his ranger and wanted specific model info.

In all seriousness I've noticed that different dealers have vastly different prices. A lot of people were saying to get a Leer because it was upwards of $1000 cheaper than a comparable ARE. But in my area, comparing my local dealers, they are basically the same.
The CX Evolve was my ARE choice. Ended up going with a Leer though because it was slightly cheaper (couple hundred dollars). Huge mistake. Should've gone with the ARE I originally wanted, since Leer lied to me about options and gave me a subpar product in the end. But it is what it is. Can't change now.
It must be a Leer problem then, because the communication to/from my local Leer dealer was also horrendous to non-existent. While the local ARE dealer was back to me the next day. Leer dealer got back to me with my email quote 3 weeks after I requested it, and by then I had already been into the store 3 times and ordered what I wanted. Turns out what I wanted/ordered was actually unavailable on this size topper, didn't find that out until about a week after ordering. Again lack of communication between both Leer and the dealer and the dealer and me. Then I had to be proactive and call every so often to get updates, instead of them calling me. Even when my topper was delivered they didn't tell me. I had just happened to call for an update, and he said "oh yeah, it's here"...Thanks for the input, i'll definitely keep that in mind! i've emailed the leer dealer in the area 3 times but haven't heard anything back, the ARE guys seem to be a lot more accommodating so i'm leaning in that direction now.
For what it's worth, that leer looks great in the Saber color!
You can’t go wrong with ARE products. I have had one camper shell and two tonneau covers. All three were great. Colors match perfect.
It took mine 5-6 weeksHow long from order to delivery on ARE?
Not to butt in, but as someone who also has a topper, I'll say that the only change in operation has been an increase of about 1-2mpg since adding my topper. No other noticeable things have happened. You're mileage change might be different, but otherwise I wouldn't worry about any driveability issues.@jrscobra, I see your set up is simular to mine with mud flaps. Did you notice any difference in highway handling with the topper installed? I would hate to invest in the topper and have it act like my previous Xterra. The Xterra had issues with high winds but that may have been complected by how tall it sat.
