Show me your Topper!

[Rangerguy]

ARE Mx topper new today. Very happy with it.

I have been asked about height. This topper is about 2-3" below the top of the antenna on my 2019 Ranger, as you can see here. The highest part of the topper is 77" (6 feet 5 inches) above ground, based on my two-handed measurement standing on a stool using a 6' level and a tape measure eyeballed vertical.

The cap is below the height of the antenna, but not the rails. The rails are definitely higher.

Awesome thanks. How do you like the quality so far?

So far so good, the only issue I have had is the light switch on the gas prop for the rear window. It sometimes moves or gets moved out of adjustment if you aren't paying attention when loading larger items. Easy enough to put back though.

Very happy with it. We’re fussing to seal the front edge where it has to match the Ranger’s annoying bulkhead dropped edge, but ARE is sending a fitting to try. Enthuze supplied one with the tonneau I used to have on this truck that sealed that front edge fine.

Who’s that. I’m impressed! There’s an other trend about EZ lift someone says he wasn’t able to make it work with is Ranger, but he had a snugtop so I don’t know.

Well… here’s my 20$ poor man solution ?

Here’s my RSI. I love the gullwing and pocket windows. I installed a roof cargo net, and some essential tool bags to the shell using magnets.

A.R.E. for Action Truck Accessories...

Now all I need is a great camping setup like @scubasteve278

What ARE model is that? Thanks!

Hey Desmond, @Count Desmondo

It’s the base model Action Truck Accessories topper but it’s made by ARE. My guess is it’s ARE’s base model - it’s very utilitarian - white rough fibreglass interior - nothing fancy but it fits great and looks good. About $2,000 installed if I recall correctly.

I'm jealous, you must get better pricing since you're so much closer to where they're made. I ordered the exact same topper in September and will be paying $2650. How long did you have to wait for yours?

Don’t hate me but it was only a couple of weeks - that was back in Sept. 2019, so things were a bit different then - I was surprised they even had one for a Scab!

Precious cargo!

Precious cargo!

Tracy, I love that you said that. Whenever my wife and I would be out, people would always offer me a drink, but when I’m the driver, I don’t touch a drop - it’s a hard and fast rule for me.

Of course, I would always be faced with a bit of pressure to have ”just one” - usually by relatives or friends from my wife’s side. I would just look them in the eye, nod my head toward my wife and say, “Precious cargo”. That was all it took and it was never brought up throughout the evening again.

That’s a wonderful rule! It shows how much you love your wife. ?
