I know Leer has one, but I'm having trouble finding others (might be my limited knowledge of who makes shells). I'm looking to buy and just want to make sure I look at all my options.
Thanks

There's probably a custom canopy place in your neck of the woods that can do one. I had a cab-high at one point (cab over was an option, though) that was made by a nobody in CT for half what a Leer would run. Held up well, too. I know I've seen Cache Campers on at least two T100s, but they'd probably make you figure out the freight-forwarding.

Hi Brian, I bought my Leer shell in Gallup, several years ago. I don't remember the name of the dealer. It wasn't cheap, almost $1000, but I got 'free' matching paint, just had to wait a few weeks. I've had no problems with it, the paint is lasting better than the truck's. My shell is cab height.. - John

Hey Brian - Missed this thread earlier. Here's a couple of places to look at toppers - Raider - I've had good luck with these ARE SnugTop - kinda pricey

I am not sure if you are looking for a canopy or a slide in camper. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I am assuming that you are looking for a high back canopy. I have a Raider on my 'T and love it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> http://www.allamericancanopies.com/canopy_Raider.aspThe only drawback is that it is fiberglass and has some weight to it. I used to have a Brahma on my old Toyota truck and it was pretty light, but was weak structurally and developed a crack near the side window. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I have an ARE that is color matched to the truck. I originally had it clamped to the bed, but bolted it down because it seemed to shift a bit with the clamps. I mounted a set of Yakima rails and crossbars to it ( I pop them off when I am not carrying stuff to get less air resistance) and have carried up to about 150 lbs up top without a problem. The only big issue with the cab high cap is that my snow blower doesnt fit into the truck.
My only issues with the cap is that a perception kayak wont fit in the bed all the way without punching out the glass (yup that was a mess) and I have a couple of really good scratches from pulling off an old lumber rack off. OOPS...
