A question for folks that own a ARE Z Series. How are they holding up? I know these have been out for a while now and I have done a search to see if
their been any problems and haven't seen any really problems that the members have voiced. Just ordered one for my 13 FX4. I have moved across county and my truck has now become my primary transport. The tonneau cover that is on the truck now will not work for me now.

 

I had an ARE Z on my last truck and loved it. I don't need one any more, but if I did, I'd get another one.

 

Mine's wicked good! No problems yet.

 

Wow looks real nice. My truck color is blue flame.

 

No issues with mine. Highly recommend.

The bedslide from ARE also comes in handy.

 

crank out window started leaking after a year or so, the rubber gasket seal shrank and came unglued. never could figure out how to glue it back up without removing the screen. other than this no problems except what i caused. i broke the hard plastic piece over the rubber seal on the back door. ARE will not help with any parts and my local dealer was not much help either. do not ever buy a cap with a foam seal, i got a deal on the one i bought that had this, leaked a little bit and i wanted to remove the gasket. ARE said the hole was to big to put a slider in place and just dealt with it. it is somebody elses problem now. i like the newer X series, looks more rugged, someone with a blue flame has posted pictures.

 

Will post pic's when it get's here.
