Gettin' a Canopy-which ONE?

[blake underwood]

I'm gettin' a canopy for my truck (sort of a B-Day present). For those of you who have them, can you share how well they've worked out so far? Which brand seems to fit our trucks the BEST? Pics. would help. Thanks



- FWIW, I have a shortbed w/Linex over the rails.

Extang, reasonable price, great warrantee and very well made. I had one on my last truck and have one on the new truck. I have had 2' of snow on it and it never once buckled or came unsnapped. I have the platinum series, http://www.extang.com/docs/classicplatinum.html

Blake, the nicest I've seen on our trucks is the Leer 100XQ, it's got the more modern sleek look and almost looks like the Ramcharger is back!

Check out leer.com

They have them at Cap-it in Langley, but I'm unfamiliar with Wa suppliers.

Kind of depends what you are looking for in a canopy.



I wanted the side windows to open fully, they call the construction window and are hinged at the top, that way I can fill my 60 gal. auxiliary fuel tank/tool box from the side of the truck. I also only wanted a cab high. The construction windows really limited my choices.



On the White Obsession, I had a Raven.

On the Ghost Rider I went with a Raider, I do think the Raider is a better quality product.

I have the Leer XQ100, love it! Check it out here: http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/pics/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=25988



TDR won't let me post my 150k pictures for some reason, says they are to big. Oh well.

Thanks for the replies. The Leer XQ100 is the one I ordered. It should be here just before I move to Arizona. I leave Aug. 13.

MichaelWright,

Sweet truck. I was just wondering, does that satelite dish on your roof, affect your aerodynamics much? It seems like it would really cut into your MPGs and maybe cause some wind noise.
