LEER 100XR | 1 Month Update | 3 Things I HATE!! | 2017 Toyota Tacoma

This video is a 1 month update on my LEER 100 XR. I go over 3 things I hate about my cap shell and talk about some things I added to make it better. Please subscribe and like this video if you enjoyed it. Thanks!

[@mango4064]

Thanks for the video. Good that you pointed out the things you didn’t like. Pretty much echo my dislikes as well. Happy camping out there.

[@Veteran83Out]

I just got my leer three weeks ago love it I have a 2016 tocoma trd off road nice set up waiting on the next video

[@rushumoutdoors]

Thanks for watching! If you off road, definitely recommend the clamps!

[@tacoteng2095]

Awesome rig! Gotta love having a Taco!

[@rushumoutdoors]

Thanks man! Appreciate it!

[@pabstc3218]

Awesome video. What kind of rain guards are you rocking on your cab windows?

[@rushumoutdoors]

Auto Vent Shade

[@gormdragan]

Thank you so much for sharing. You have convinced me to get the same front window setup that you have, for ease of cleaning. May I ask where get the D rings you mounted on the roof?

[@rushumoutdoors]

Glad I could help! I got the d rings on Amazon. Not sure how to add a link. But if you search: Seven Sparta Tie Down Anchors for Truck, Trailer, Warehouse, Boat, 10 Pack of Heavy Duty Steel V Ring Bolts, Tie Down Rings（Black） It should pop up!!!

[@gormdragan]

@@rushumoutdoors may I ask how you anchor to the ceiling without concerns of leaks? I really like how you set your Tacoma up.

[@rushumoutdoors]

@@gormdragan I used the factory roof rail bolts. I also used a little silicone around the factory screws. I unscrewed them, siliconed a little drop, put in the d ring, and reinstalled the bolts.

[@jasons6307]

Great Video, Same truck same camper, are you able to post a link for the exact clamps you bought off of Amazon to secure the Shell? Thanks

[@jasons6307]

Ignore the question, I see where you answered someone else! =)

[@stevekaiser4198]

My Leer leaked 1 year after I got it. Rear window gasket pulled back and leaked. No warranty sucks

[@BucksBe]

How is the topper holding up after 1 year? Looking to get the same setup myself. That's the 100XR, right? Looking good my friend 👍

[@rushumoutdoors]

It’s great! Very sturdy and durable. I’ve had to tighten it a few times after off-road trips. It holds and protects all my items as expected.

[@jieli2259]

Just curious where you got the bed mat.Lol

[@YouTubeuser-yp8qk]

What’s the weight on one of these? Also mpg change as a result ? Got the same truck / colour combo and I think the camper works well on them

[@rushumoutdoors]

It’s about 200 lbs, I do have a Sherpa rack on it along with 2 ammo case storage boxes loaded with gear now. I get about 13-15 mpg. I drive from Vegas to California, Utah, Arizona, Idaho, and Oregon about once a month for adventures. So it doesn’t bother me. My 6 inch lift and 33in tires don’t help either. I have a little sag in the back now from all the weight so I will be upgrading to custom deaver leaf springs to fix that.

[@jeffreyromulo531]

Hey brother… I live in Vegas too and I noticed a-1 is the only dealer in Vegas. How was your experience with them?

[@rushumoutdoors]

My experience was great. Went in and picked out everything I wanted on my camper. They walked me through the process and made it very easy. Installation was $100 flat. They called me when it arrived. Took about 1 month to arrive. When they installed it, it took about 2 hrs. Very fast and easy.

[@xuekong4302]

I wish leer can make the rear heat burner. My topper hard to see during winter time.

[@rushumoutdoors]

My rear window in my cab has been tinted since I got my truck so I don’t even use my rear view mirror. Lol

[@ia6980]

looking to get A.R.E or Leer for my ranger 5ft bed....wonder which one provides better option from water

[@johntony6974]

so far ARE have seemed to be the better option, imo

[@MadskillsBeatz]

Looks great. What’s the cost?

[@rushumoutdoors]

For the options I got it was around 4k. There's only 1 LEER dealership where I am in Las Vegas, NV. I'd call around your local area. I also visited a Snug Top and ARE dealer. I was debating an ARE MX, but the options they had weren't as good and the price was $1-2k more.

[@user-fz3sz2dj4r]

Leaking is unacceptable for the price

[@rushumoutdoors]

Totally agree! I’ve heard all of the shells leak on 3rd gens.

[@SteveB88]

All truck caps are going to leak a little every here and there. There’s no way to prevent it 100% because the cap is not physically part of the truck. Mine doesn’t leak from any of the windows though, Just a little from the header. I have the same cap but a different brand and as someone who lives in Florida where it rain sideways every afternoon you do get a little moisture in one side every so often.

[@Indigowarrior111]

@@SteveB88 what camp shell do you use?

[@SteveB88]

@@Indigowarrior111 I have the same style this guy has, but mine is made by a different brand. Ranch truck topper

[@ionrazvan126]

That is why I want a cap to not have water in the bed, also that is why my house has a roof

[@nobuh5562]

where did you get the clamps?, link?

[@rushumoutdoors]

Amazon. The brand is API Clamps. Not sure how to add a link. But if you search this it should pop up. API Clamps (4 Pack) Silver Compatible with Toyota Tacoma - 2005 & Newer - Mounting Channel Track Truck Topper Cap, Camper Shell Let me know if that helps.

[@nobuh5562]

found it, thanks man. Been having issues with my shell moving when i offroad.

[@zer08927]

Thank you for sharing solutions for the issues. I have a 2017 access cab Tacoma and heard about the water leakage in all the 3rd gen tacos.

[@mr.horse1801]

Guess i should be happy i got a solid front window and regular slider windows on the side. No leaks ever

[@JorgeGonzalez-vq8fv]

👍🇵🇷😁🙏💪

[@coryconner3076]

can you link to those bolts please?

[@rushumoutdoors]

Not sure how to add a link. If you search in Amazon or Google: API Clamps (4 Pack) Silver Compatible with Toyota Tacoma - 2005 & Newer - Mounting Channel Track Truck Topper Cap, Camper Shell You should be able to find it. Let me know if this helps.

Is this a 6ft bed?

No its the 5.5ft bed. Short bed

[@mikelabree]

Do you sleep in it?

[@rushumoutdoors]

Yes I sleep in it. It I’m 6’2 so I have to angle myself. But I have since gotten a rooftop tent. I need to do an update video soon. I put Sherpa roof racks on both my cab and camper and long with a bunch of new upgrades!
