do any of you guys know if the plastic truck caps are still being made ? I've searched online and can't find anything . many years ago I had a plastic cap on a 1/2 ton chevy 8' bed . I liked it . it looked like a fiberglass cap , but weighed like an aluminum one . back then I could put it on and off by myself . it's been so long ago , I can't remember the brand for sure . I want to say it was compliment , or century , that made them , but I could be wrong . I do remember where I bought it , but they have been closed for many years . thanks for any help on this .

I’m not aware of a plastic topper but I did get a new ARE topper for my truck this past summer. Boy did the price jump up on them.
ARE CX series with flip up side windows, LED lights that turn on when you open up the glass.
This is just like my last one and it suits my needs perfectly.

JD , that's a nice looking set up . truck and cap .
I live about 100 miles away from the Leer factory . I bought my last cap from them , and was pleased with the whole thing . I had no issues with anything . it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow , so it looks like the perfect day for me and Sally to take a road trip . the way it worked last time , I'll have to go up and order it and make a deposit , then go back , when it's built , and they'll install it . this is a century , Leer , Snugtop factory . I guess I'll go up look around and get one ordered . they are having a sale on them right now , $200 off on some of them .
< this is a link to Leer . sure has a goofy name ?
I had the Leer model 100XR on my2018 Tacoma , it was a nice cap , and suited my needs . standard included a dome light and both side windows slide with screens , frameless glass , and one center handle on the rear window. the only option I added was a sliding , and tilting front window . 8/10/18 it cost $1614.00 + tax , no shipping since I'm at the factory . I'm sure that price has gone up .
Toyota does not build a truck I'm interested in at the present time . just about all these mid size trucks are 4cyl turbo's . Nissan still has a V-6 in the Frontier . it's my first Nissan . it only has 70 miles on it , but so far I do like it . time will tell how it holds up . it's a 2027 , and has stuff I'll probably never use . I read online Nissan is planning a full model line update between 2028 and 2030 . I'll bet the Frontier gets a 4 cyl turbo in this update .

Nice looking truck Jim! Leer make a good topper. Yours has the same features as mine;
Side windows with a screen, front window with slider and drops down for cleaning, gray fabric liner, dome light with prop switch and the side windows have LED rope lights with a prop switch.
I love my truck but I don’t like the multi tailgate. It’s a problem waiting to happen. A conventional tailgate is not offered. The 6.6L turbo Duramax has more than enough power for anything, especially the big deer that Sue shoots every year!
