    Does anyone have any leads on used truck toppers/camper shells or whatever you wanna call it?

    I have a 2013 F150 with the 5.5' mini-bed and can't seem to find a used topper for it, and I'm not sure that I'm ready to fork out the kind of money a new one is.

    If your neighbor has one in his yard of if you see a caravan of immigrants float across from Cuba in one, please let me know...

    Oh and does anyone have any knowledge on brands, if any are better than others..?

    :crackup:It was a narrow market then!

    Maybe ARE is what I was thinking. Its seriously been years since I've seen them on display, and I don't know if I could find one locally, without Google.

    Facebook marketplace is full of them. I waited and watched and found a Leer extra high with all glass intact for $100 bucks.

    Is that in Atlanta?

    I'm in Florida but can drive a bit for the right one.

    I have alerts set for CL and keep checking FB Market Place but haven't seen what I need yet...

    I believe that.

    My theory is that most white trucks are work trucks, so very few are super crew short bed.
    I've found a few in various other colors, so I wonder if I could have one wrapped to change the color.
    Gel coat is probably not easy to paint...

    I recall pricing a new A.R.E. optioned to my liking, once. It was over $3K. :eek:
    Leer was little different in the pricing but didn't offer as much as A.R.E.
    I've yet to buy a topper.
