Picked mine up yesterday...came in pretty quick!...like just under three weeks. I also want to say anyone in So Cal definitely look up American Camper in Garden Grove. They beat everyone’s price in Temecula and San Diego by a lot!...and the customer service was awesome!

I was just about to call those guys for an estimate for the same shell installed on my Trail Boss. Do you mind sharing what you paid so I can make sure I’m getting a deal? Thanks!

I started a new thread because I didn’t find this one first so here’s a repost from there.

I recently had my shell arrived and had it installed.e8ef3400973b78c6bd7daa58de73507b.jpg
It's a Leer 100XR color matched to my truck. It took almost 2 months from order date to delivery which is a little longer than expected. All manufactures told me 6-8 weeks.
 
The options I added are, removable front window so I can clean between without taking the cap off. Power locks which tie into the truck and work via the remote, door handle button and keypad. Headliner in black since a bed rug only comes in black and I might add the floor later so I wanted them to match. Thule rack tracks to mount a roof rack which I had from my last vehicle to carry surfboards and kayaks. There is one interior light right behind the brake light which I think came standard.
 
The shop only charged $60 for install and I'm glad they did it. It took close to two hrs for install to run the wiring for the door locks, brake light and interior light. It probably would have taken me longer.
 
My total cost was $2990.90 after tax. See below for the price breakout from my receipt.
 
This is a cab high model, the interior height is 41" from floor (top of ribs) to ceiling. The tailgate opening is 35.5" high.
 
Ceiling height is enough to sit up with about 5" of head clearance. Later I'm sure I'll camp out in the back on solo trips with my boy instead of hauling a full trailer.ceeca62d7e2ea15338b9ba8e8dcab121.jpg

Anyone seen a fiberglass cap for a 19+ Silverado with the full rear hatch?  Trying to replace a Suburban for the fire department, the hatch is something we really want to try to retain without spending $25,000 more for a Suburban.  Looking for something similar to the walk in offering from ARE but don't need all the glass and the walk-in door, just the hatch.

ARE Evolve shell installed. Though it wasn't listed as available for the standard size bed on their web site, I contacted them and they confirmed it was. It did take 10 weeks to get, but so far I do like it a lot.

Anyone running a canopy with the multiflex tailgate?  I am hoping to transfer over an existing canopy from a 2020 TB to a 2021 TB. I can’t tell from the pictures of there will be interference with the rear window. The canopy is an ARE Z2. Thanks.

Learn from my mistake and never order over the phone from a dealer. Initially called around multiple dealers in my area, decided to go with one an hour away since they quoted about 15% cheaper. Called the dealer and they didn't have a problem doing it over the phone since I knew all of my truck specs, VIN, etc. I spec'd out a Leer 100XR with thule roof tracks and carpeted headliner (free upgrade during April promo). Gave them my down payment, emailed invoice, and was told 4-6 weeks on delivery. I call 4 weeks in to seek an update and I get a call back from the manager stating he forgot to verify the VIN on my truck so my order was frozen since time of invoice. I discuss cancelling my order and he offered to take the cost of wiring harness and labor off ($200), it sounded fair so I stuck with it. 6 weeks after original invoice I call to get update and what my amount owed at time of delivery. They say a number that was ~$150 more than my original invoice that I was looking at while on the phone with them. When officially submitting my invoice (with the VIN this time) the april headliner promo expired putting that charge on the invoice. What a disaster. They continuously state during our conversation that they shouldn't have done an over the phone order. They agree to eat the cost of the carpeted headliner to bring the price back down to the original. All said and done I'm now looking at 10 week delivery minimum. Hope its worth it!

Finally got my Leer 100XR installed. 10 week delivery total. Pretty happy with it initially. Anyone else notice the paint match is a little off when you get up close? My truck is ceramic coated, so I am unsure if it is just the reflective/mirror properties make it look that way in the light.

    • I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back. 
    • That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
    • That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?
    • That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?  
    • Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
