Re: Truck Bed Options

Kinda like this?






Mine is a LEER. Works great.

By the way, this may get moved to the truck board, instead of the suburban sub-forum

Re: Truck Bed Options

That is fine since I own a Suburban I just out of habit posted it in there. That is just what I would like however I do not want any windows and a solid aluminum back hatch. I was looking into a bed rug option. By the way does the compression boot leak at all nightmare?

Re: Truck Bed Options

that's ok.

Leer has lots of different options. Another that might be of interest is from a company named Jason.

The bedrugs are nice, but a little on the pricey side. This is just marine grade carpet. I think it works well.

Nope, the compression boot doesn't leak at all.

Re: Truck Bed Options

Did you get the compression boot from Leer as well?

Re: Truck Bed Options

No. It was just a universal one that they had at the truck accessories place. I can take more pics of it once I get home if you like

Re: Truck Bed Options

Well I called Leer and they no longer make a model of topper that will fit our trucks. I am making inquires to find out where I can find one.

Re: Truck Bed Options

That sucks that they aren't doing any more for these trucks. Good luck with the search.

What I got is midway down the page, the 3" accordion boot rubber. Here is the link to them: http://www.pickupspecialties.com/Camper_shell_parts.htm

They sell it per foot, but was worth it.
