Looking at getting a Leer 100XR got quotes from 2400CND + tax to 3100CND + tax, funny thing is its from the same store different locations. Do they just throw out numbers they like?

Dealer pricing appears to be all over the map depending location, and number of ARE or other dealers..

 

Got my Leer XQ for $2199.00 installed with bed mat, overhead light, headliner, rubber gate seals and pop out front window..

Works great..

 

I did do some bed caulking to fix some holes and seams before topper was installed..

the first time you try to sit in the bed of your truck you will regret that cab-high nonsense unless your last name is Baggins. Old man truck ftw, brother.

I have no problems sitting in bed of truck with a cab-high? Heck, my wife is on top of me too! She isn't complaining either?

Just goofing bud. I have a toolbox in the back of my truck that I sit on, I guess I was envisioning comfortably sitting on something besides the bed itself. Anyhoo, the sooner you embrace old manhood, the better. Trust me on this, chicks dig the sky-high camper shell. Can't beat 'em off with a stick.

I'm the cheap camper..

 

Many lakes in Iowa,, so started using my topper not only to haul fishing raft for day trips and now for camping stuff.

Even got my GF into sleeping and hanging out in topper.

With air mattress and I'm 6'2", it's quite comfortable even if it rains...

All her friends have great 30Ft trailers, but I will take my basic topper anyday..

As I posted in the other thread, I scored a sweet deal on a used one this weekend. And I also found two LEER 100XR and one 100XQ in the Phoenix area for around 1k each. The two I have pictures of are blue, and the 100XR has a roof rack. PM me if you want contact deals - they are sitting in used inventory at a topper dealer.

Love my leer cap. Pack it right to the roof. Wish I had the Thule rack up top for my kayaks.dfd60e08177bd23a3588b366db020cf0.jpg

Just got my Leer 100XL topper installed last weekend.  Went with the removable sliding front window, electronic lock, and tracks for a future roof rack.  So glad I read up on here about toppers before I bought, otherwise I probably wouldn't have went with the removable window.  Was on some dusty roads this weekend and I was surprised how much dirt collected between the cab and topper windows.  So nice and easy to just remove the window to clean.  I'm loving it so far!  LED strips going in this weekend for interior light.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Practical Application ISO 4406   I think this oil cleanliness thing is going to boil down to ones personal resolve. The information is there but applying it I believe will test your commitment to the machine. Implementation would involve building or buying a prefilter or purchase of an "ISOCLEAN" oil. Then installing a single digit micron bypass system. A good deal of testing and about 99.9% of you are saying at that point....yea.....not my cuppa tea. So what can you do?    You already did the first step. Get educated and leave the bias at the door. Be aware of the its, cleanliness, importance.    Do your own work if you can. Keep the equipment clean. Not just your funnel but the engine bay. Use sealed containers. Think it through.    I believe you will find, as I did, that the tightest absolute full flow filters (Beta 200) will be around 20 micron. That will yield on average a Beta 75 of 10-15 micron. They are few in number by brand and price point. Loose filters are a dime a dozen and even the best brands have lines of loose filters. Some cleverly marketed as "Extended Service". Others will market flow over efficiency. But I think the take away once informed is that the extra cost of the best offered is a bargain. There are cheaper filters with good efficiency that are equal in performance to niche brands with big prices. Your Quick Lube is about a 40 micron unit. This is where your dealer is a plus. the AC-Delco filter is a good step up from those places. Even better if you specify the UPF line.    Be skeptical of marketing. Buying an oil that is made from GTL advertised as the cleanest base oil is using a truth to support a lie. While GTL's are made from debris free gas the processing equipment and post handling is just like any other oil. It also ignores the fact that PAO's and Esters are also gas in origin. Any private prescreening testing you would do, and some have done, would yield a result only good for the batch you tested. AMSOIL and Schaeffer's have built a reputation for paying attention to this detail.    Context. Cold starts account for at least 75%, or more, of an engines wear. But of the remaining 25% ish, over 80% is caused by particle count. Now where do we find high milage motors that use this type of information efficiently? OTR trucking!      Now, anyone want to build a prefilter or off line cleaning system anyway?

      Trans Cooler Thermostat Valve Body Seals - 2022 10L80

      By Rick_ · Posted

      Does anyone know if the GM 85628205 and 85628208 are interchangeable?   The 85628205 is an assembly of the seals mated to a thin metal shim and the 85628208 appear to be just the rubber seals without being an assembly. The reason I am asking is that I'm installing a PPE Thermal Bypass Valve and it doesn't come with seals.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Road Master Active Suspension

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.
