Thanks for the measurements. You still making videos ?

Neither, Snugtop is the best by far.

I wouldn’t call what you did a “stress test”, I’d call it knife misuse and abuse.

This looks great. Is this a 6ft bed?

Really hard to pay $2k+ for a topper that has poor quality in its build!

How are these holding up 5 years later ?

I've only owned A.R.E. so far (three, purchased in 2014, 2019, 2023) and both they and LEER seem to have great designs/features. But both the '19 and '23 have had CRAPPY workmanship, mostly with window installs. You can expect the window frames to be overtightened/crushed (as shown here) causing them to leak. If you're buying used and care about leaks, be prepared to remove windows and fix it yourself, since the warrantees do not transfer. That's what I'm researching for my '23 shell.

LEER and ARE are owned by the same company

Jens Williamson, III (Deaf) The ARE Hard Shell Camper is very good. Good Price! The LEER Hard Shell Camper is Classic like expensive. I have Chevrolet S10 pickup with ARE Hard Shell Camper (nearly 8 long feet) because of No Cab. I love it. Just right for Spring, Summer and Autumn. The Dome Tent or A Frame Wall Tent for Autumn/Winter. You can compare. It is up to you because it is your money. Good Luck! You will know. Okay! Have a wonderful day! Respectfully, Jens C.

Thanks dude! Was just looking at these the other day. Might go grab one!

Where did you get that mattress set up?

What’s the bed size?

How is your setup doing 3 years later? All the parts still working as it should? Would love an update!!

Hi Trent, any update on this shell? How is it holding on? Any problem with it ? Thanks

A.R.E all day long.

Had the Leer 100R total garbage. Chips/cracks in the edges, paint bubble about the size of 50cent piece, the rear tailgate molding split in half and the drivers side window leaked heavily. Sent it back to get repainted and it looked like some random bum off the street painted it. I could plainly see where the bubble was as it looked as though they popped it and painted over it. There was overspray all over the glass and weather strip. I couldn’t get the leak to stop so I pulled the window out of the shell, there was a 6” long half circle cut in the window opening. It should have been flat along the proper edge for the window. Someone or something (a machine) made an error. Then someone bolted the window in without a second thought I guess. Will never buy another Leer.

anybody know what the carpeted second level is in the truck bed?

What holds that carpeted shelf up?

Greetings from lreland thanks for a good honest rewiew of the boots i am tired of looking at people who are afraid to use them .Happy new year to you and all yours

Do you have any comments on the 100XR cab high shell versus the 180 shell ? The 100XR probably looks better and the much larger glass on the 180 rear door could be a problem and looks sort of out of proportion with the trucks.

How do you customize the windows? I can’t do it on any website or do you have to into a shop?

New sub and awesome video here. I'm spec'ing out my overlanding/do everything '16 Silverado and agree. Windoors for the win (for multiple reasons)! I have a transferflow 50 gallon aux tank in the bed to feed my 6.2 v8 and i needed to reach the filler neck on and needed windoors to do that. I thought about the Softopper but ultimately seemed like throwing good money after bad. Also, the windoors are just way more convenient than you'd think they are. Cool video and keep up the good work.

What size truck bed, what size mattress?

What's the difference in load bearing with the rooftop area of the two camper shells?

Do you have any video on your deck setup?

This was more horrifying and left me feeling far more anxious than any horror movie/novel/entertainment ever could. Just thinking about what would happen if one of those locks failed. Thanks for risking your phalanges in the name of science!

You said you used obenaufs but was it leather oil or was it heavy duty lp?

Love it

Comment

I heard that if you do this to the Ray Mears 700 dollars knife,it will brake!

I know this is 3 years old but the links to the Chicago screw isn't showing up? Can you drop it below?

Thank you for the review. Very good. I have a question. For the leer, what is the total height of opening with your truck? With tailgate down and window open? I plan to roll in a bike and store upright. Thank you.

Any thoughts on topper A.R.E. V series vs Overland? For Ford Ranger?

Where did you find that mattress?

wow...never seen this kind of review before haha :)

Is this colour a lunar rock or a matte rock? Cause I’m buying a lunar rock Tacoma and want this exact topper in the same colour

I just buy cheapass Brahma boots from Walmart. 38 bucks for steel toes, 20 for soft toes. The soft toes are made of pleather so they don't last long, but the steel toes are leather. My last pair I had 6 years; the only reason I replaced them was because I grew into a bigger size. The Red Wings are nice, though. Just way overpriced.

Sounds like cows in the background

My Leer shell has an inch sag in the middle. Never buy one again.

These boards are customized by carpenters? You just need to handover them the spec sheet

Which one rides smoother?

Do your windoors collect water at all? It seems like water maybe gets inside the frame the windoors on mine. When I open them up some water leak out.

Do you think the windoors are worth it if your truck is lifted 6” as well? Wondering if I’ll be able to use them with the added height

Can you remove the screen on shell windows to completely have open Have dogs and want them to be able to have more access out of windows- thanks

Wow someone who makes a nice video, and explains it??? While being budget friendly?? AND includes LINKS??? Sub.

what type of hardware is that you used to clamp down the camper? Do you have a link?

Ditto on the side door-windows. I replaced the sliders ( after a few years) with the door win type, it wasnt cheap but well worth it

I just watched,and read - two guys got their leers without their carpeting.

Now that I've seen all of the complaints about LEER truck covers, I'll pass and just buy me a nice new 2023 suv...no more leaks and issue totally solved.🤣😂🤣😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
