I was thinking about getting one of these for my truck. I had heard of Leer, but it looks like there are others who do this as well, like ARE.
Anybody have one of these? Recommendations? What's the approximate cost?

I have had both brands and I prefer the ARE much better. The mechanics in the handle and hinges are much higher quality in my opinion. The only advantage to the Leer is it should be about $100 cheaper. You should look to pay around $750-$800 painted to match and installed.

P.S. I'm 270 pounds and I can walk on my ARE.
I have a Patroit by Swiss.. Can't make it leak even at high pressure car wash. I love it. Around $1000 painted to match and installed on a F-250. (smaller would be less expensive) hardware has held up very well considering that is gets opened/closed ALOT.. I use it almost everyday between fishing, hunting, business and golf.
My truck has a lund cover that I installed. Its not theft proof, but what is now a days. cost about 300 bucks, you put it on , its not hard, got minefrom auto zone.
the reason i bought a soft cover is because it can be almost removed for hauling stuff that a hard permanent cover will not.
I have a Retrax for mine. Rolls into a round drum in front like a roll up door. And you can lock it.

Best one out there. And they show it being beat with a 2x4 and not hurting it. I can take mine on or off in 10 minutes.
Think mine was around $700

Several of us have the Undercover top. It is car wash proof and locks up pretty good. Very strong top. We saw 4 men playing cards setting on the Undercover at a boat show. Around $700.
