    Looks Great. How is the fit of the ARE? I have seen some guys with rubbing issues on their paint.

    Only rubbing issue is back gate rubbing my paint off tail gait, very miner.
    No major paint problems overall. Been very pleased other then my leaking issues. That do to a uneven bed rail running along the cab. An ongoing issue. Will eventually get it squared away.

    I looked at the ARE tops on other brands of trucks (have a friend who has a new one on a Ford), and the ARE sits right on the paint in places which will cause rubbing, which turned me off. I went with a Leer 100R and it has a very nice gap between the paint and the top. I put a strip of clear paint protection where it could rub, but there is no chance of rubbing (unless the top shifts) on the sides. The tailgate does need something because obviously the door closes onto the tailgate. I have been very happy with my Leer. I also read a lot of those frameless models glass breaks off-roading and it is expensive to replace, so I went with the 100R because of that and (1) I don't like the SUV look and prefer a real truck look, (2) the frameless side windows do not slide open and thus less ventilation with only pop open and (3) the price. My top does not leak a drop either (that was a big complaint I read with a lot of toppers). I do think the truck looks better without the top, but lots of things in life are a compromise (function over looks).
