Hey all, in the market for a topper,shell, canopy whichever you prefer to call it.

I am on the fence between a Leer 100xr and Leer 100XL. Any input, and pics of either would be great.
It is going on a 2019 2500 crew, short bed, white.

I colored all three and ended up going with the 100R. Leer has a coupon for a free carpeted headliner which that with the 100R met my needs. Then it comes down to the back door whether you really need it frameless. Plus I found my local dealer more willing to discount on the 100R than the upper trim models.

I am so on the fence. A local dealer has a 100r. Hard part is figuring out if I want to wait for Xr or Xl ??

This might give you a some idea of what the 100XL will look like on your truck, it's the same size as your 6.4' bedimage-20191117_092933-01.jpeg
IMG_20161115_131455406-01.jpeg The nice part about the 100XL is the power lock for the cap is integrated into my tailgate lock. Aside from that I like the smooth look of the 100XL, almost makes the truck look like a Suburban.
I did add LED tape lights to the top of my cap.

If you have pets that will ride in the bed, if I'm not mistaken the 100XR has pet rated screens. I don't think there is power locks on the 100XR

I do like the look of the Xr and xl, but.... local dealer has the 100 r in stock in the right color. Doesn’t have the curved glass back window, or the flip down front window. Guess I could order the front flip window later

So went with the 100r local dealer had in stock. They were willing to deal on price so went with the 100r

I have the ARE definitely want the carpeted interior and power window lock it is much nicer than my previous base model.
My truck is under frozen snow so I can’t get a interior picture at the moment 78CDCC78-7170-49F9-91E7-5D7F72673D3F.jpeg

Which J clamps? I'm not sure I like the clamps I currently have, they're working but I'm concerned every time I get off the beaten path

DANG!!

Your rig looks great! Those rims are purdy. The cap, lift, color, everything looks awesome.

Well done.

I have a 14 1500 with an ARE CX series topper on the back. I opted for the windoor option on both sides which was more expensive, but it's awesome to grab stuff against the cab without crawling through the topper. I also installed some bed lights on the carpeted interior with some velcro tape and it has worked great so far and allows for a lot of light at night. Overall couldn't be more pleased with it, and even the girlfriend has learned to like it.

Leer 100R installed today. This is our second 100R and it is perfect.

my clamps don’t go around the edge they go through

What's the cost of these things these days? I could really use one but I don't like arguing with my wallet
