I like the look of a hard painted cover and you are talking about a killer audio system back there so does weight for removing it really matter? I had a leer 700 on my 2002 and this one I went with the leer 800. Both are nice covers, the 700 never let in any water of dust but I haven't had the 800 on long enough to test it. Make sure you put a good seal on the endgate. I built a wood liner and covered them with carpet for both trucks. There is more pictures in my gallery.
