Nice. How does it compare to other top makers?

This is the economy model but it is lined on the inside and has a sliding window up front so from looking around it was a pretty good deal compared to others. I think Leer is the biggest manufacturer right now. I put it on because there were I bunch of times I wish I had one but never a time if I had one I couldnt have hauled something. I can always pull a trailer if I need to move something real big like my bike.

Could you order it that color or did you need a body shop paint it to match?

Looks great! I normally don't like they way the shells look but this one gets an A+ Though it must suck to take off when hauling larger things

As I said, I havent hauled anything tall since I had my truck, but if I needed to I could just put it on a trailer anyway. There have been lots of times when I wished the back was enclosed like last summer when me and my two brothers drove up to Montana, it would have been nice to be able to throw our bags back there. Im going to get a 6ft sheet of 1/4 plywood and some cheap carpet to put back there now. Done that before on my trucks and it works out just fine. Thanks for the compliments! Not bad for a 4 y/o truck if I say so myself!

All you need is two wooden pallets and a queen size mattress; great for camping.

I can answer it. Leer and other manufacturers use the factory paint code and paint the tops before delivery to the customers.
