2014 Toppers, Caps, Campers

That looks really sharp. May I ask what something like that runs?

 

$2,120 with the fold down front window, carpeted interior, second interior light, and tint. Pretty much the same as all toppers of this type.

Snugtop equivalent toppers seem to run a little higher than the Leer. I don't know if there is any quality difference, but since Leer moved out of CA and Snugtop is local to Long Beach CA, near me, I have been buying my last 3 or 4 from Snugtop. I have a good dealer that takes care of little issues that have come up and about 10 yrs ago, one of my toppers developed a crack. I drove to the factory and they removed it and repaired and repainted the entire topper and reinstalled it for free. Because of Snugtop being local, I'm probably going to stick with them for my 2014 topper.

Thanks for moving my post to a 8 month old post that everyone has looked at.

Yeah, it does get kind of annoying doesnt it?

I plan to order an A.R.E Cap in a few days. My plan is a package deal, if it's good enough. I plan to go with a sprayed bedliner, then a rubber mat for the bed of the truck. The place I'm going does it all. I think I'll skip doing the spray in myself. The plan is to go with the common black for easy touch up later if needed.

 

I had thought about a cap with a rise to it, after measuring the garage door height I have to stick with cab height.

How much was this setup if you don't mind me asking. Got a quote from the ARE dealer here in Colorado for Z-Series starting at $2000 for 2014 Sierra Short Bed.

I do some firewood & dead deer at times, don't need to go fancy. It's mostly a dog & some gear back there. I went with the economy A.R.E. for about $1350 plus the $125 or so for the front tilt window. That's all I've had in the past, plenty good enough here.

PMD, That A R E z-series looks good enough for the girls i go out with ! I ordered one today for my dbl cab. I really like the looks of yours. Thnx for posting.

 

I also ordered a wade/westin front(bulkhead) cover to put on .Dont know why GM doesnt put one on in the factory.

I had a ARe on a 201, transferred it over to the 2014 without any problem

 

Took a little moving to get the rear door to close and latch.

 

Needed to move it back a little,

 

The rear hatch does come down in the middle of the taligate and might leak a little.

 

Looks real sharp.

 

I will need to take a few pictures to post

The caps look great!

    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them. 
    • I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.     
    • Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
