Let's See Your Caps

Nice! Which cap is that? 100r?

 

What year model is your truck and what make and model is the topper?

 

My truck is a 2016 and its a 1794.
I swapped out the front to a pro grill and Bumber …also installed the pro suspension.
Upgraded the lights to 2019 led’s

the cap is a leer 100QX

Since "Caps" is plural

 

Nice to see more MXs

 

Not the sexiest (not the worst either) but dang the extra height is nice.

 

I perfer the fact that it doesn't look like a SUV. Looks like a big ol truck.

 

I am on board with that. Also, just noticed the WoT reference below your avi. Nice.

 

Me standing. Recognize others?

 

I first thought when you said wot it meant wide open throttle, but then I realized it meant wheel of time.
I just finished it, including the prequel. I was a little disappointed with the prequel. I thought it would go back to the references about mechanical things, but it still was a cool backstory.

 

I recognize Sanderson (currently reading Rhythm of War), I’d guess the other is Jordan’s wife?

 

Yes, release of A Memory of Light here in Charleston (The Two Rivers) ...... BRIDGE 4

 

Very cool! And a fitting thread hijack given the release of the WoT trailer today. BRIDGE 4!

 

last hijack, so worried it will suck. WoT meant so much to me I was fine it would never be made into bad movies, maybe long TV sires can do it, maybe Amazon will stick with the story line and give it a 10 year run. I doubt it. I could see in today pc world Rand not getting the 3 girls.

 

Got this Leer 100xr put on the truck. Been keeping an eye out on CL and offer up few and far between, this one is clean!

 

Looks good.

 

After 5 long months my ARE Overland topper arrived. Think it turned out pretty sharp. All in for $3200 installed.

 

Life before Death

 

By far my favorite beer. Outstanding!

 

Why do all the leer and are caps over hang the bed rails instead of sitting on the rail with zero overhang? Males it look like its not the proper one for the truck

 

First thought would be that the small overhang helps rain to flow past the seam with the bed rails and keeps water from leaking in. But I do agree it looks a bit odd.

 

That makes sense,but the look .ugh

 

Just waxed and sealed the cap. Ready for Winter now.

 

THAT looks sharp!

 

That has the finished edge on and looks decent.Do the ARE still come that way?

 

As far as I know, I got the cap in 2018. It's the ARE CX model.

 

I do not agree at all!
The overlap makes them look like they do fit because they are a perfect fit and once started from the tailgate they just slide right into place.
Notice that the rails of the bed are not straight?
So the Fiberglass shells follow that contour but the metal shells can not and they look much worse I think even though they are what I use.

I will have to take a pic to highlight what I mean but this is the best that I already have,you can see that the bed curves but the shell does not and the edge reveal of the bed is curved too.

 

Leer XQ with Thule racks

 

Well, I'm the latest to experience the shattered back glass on my cap I contacted my local dealer who quoted me $500 and three months lead time. I've reached out to Century directly and am awaiting a response. A quick search online unsurprisingly turns up nothing readily available in the used market. Anyone have any suggestions? What about making a new window from plexiglass? Has it been done? Would it hold up?
