Best cap

I don't have any pics without the ladder rack, but it pops off in seconds. The Yokohama track system is a very nice option: Beautiful cap and thats the one i wanted originally but at $2200 and two weeks to wait for i just got the leer 100r in stock and my color code for $1200 OTD. It does the job it was intended for.

I heard that. I just happened to have the $$ at the time so I went for the one I really liked. Saving cash is a big deal these days.

When I bought my Leer in 2000, they also offered the side glasses with no visible seals. It was beautiful that way. However the glass on that model was glued on and I didn't trust the glue. Also, I noticed yours has one lock in the center on the back. I assume it has rods that go out to the sides for locking the door in place. I think this is inferior to having two separate locks, one on either side. I had a cheaper aluminum Leonard on a 94 Ford that had the contractors side windows and they had one lock in the center with rods running out to the sides. I went through a car wash with this truck and the air blower sucked the side window open breaking my lock mechanism. So now, I make sure if I get a top, it has two separate locks on each window that is hinged open. That is how my Leer was and that is the way the used Leonard is on my present truck.
