I have an ARE that came with my truck but I'm not sure of the exact model. It also has a Yakima rack on top.

I love the quality of the cap but the interior lighting leaves a lot to be desired. I also really like how the windows on the side open out and up.

I purchased a Leer 100R when I bought the truck. Thule Tracker II Rails & Bars. Took about a month and a half for it to get to AK.

So far the only regret is not getting the 100XR for the better, single latch mechanism on the back. Contemplating a trade or sale and buying an XL.

If your so unhappy with the rear window instead of buying another top why don't you just buy another rear window a whole lot cheaper? yeh am happy with mine.

I kind of ordered it through the dealership as a tag on to the financing, so I really didn't have a whole lot of input. It's already been back in to have the sliding front window put in. I would like to have a few other things from some of the packages they put on their toppers as well, but don't feel like trying to do those mods myself. As far as the back window, I'm pretty sure the hinge & latch setup is completely different. I haven't verified this at a Leer Dealer, but if It appeared that easy, I would have done it already.

Edit: the one I am contemplating going for is actually two models up.

Yours is the 100XR. The only difference between the two at their base set up is the rear window.

Careful with ARE z series. Bought one returned it. Many many paint imperfections. ARE stated that if there are less than 5 imperfections within 1 square inch, it meets an acceptable standard for them.
Many do not have my issue..they did offer to replace it but told me upfront. They all have paint imperfections. .so I returned it. Some spots were 3/8 diameter. .
