It's still $7k vs $4.5k for a topper. Sure yours has a tent to sleep on. I'm not knowledgeable about topper tents and how much they cost.....
I was never comparing my bed topper to yours. I was giving my two cents regarding why bed racks didn't work for me - and in the long run they weren't...
Hmm... Weird. I don't have a degree in computer science - and I'm not saying I'm a genius - but I am able to use the above USB disk in my JT, along with my wife's 21 Grand Cherokee L.
I see you have a 21 Sport S (I have a 22 Sport S). 7 inch uconnect head unit?
I'm also considering the Toyo Open Country AT3 35x12.5x17 vs the 11.5. It seems that the 12.5 are actually a little lighter compared to the 11.5 (59# to 63#).
I use a 256GB SanDisk Ultra Fit USB and can load my entire itunes library onto it (roughly 82GB worht of music), and have it organized perfectly with uconnect on my 22 Sport S.
The USB NEEDS to be formatted to fat32. I still use Itunes to this day (can't give up my Mp3 library and go to...
I know you asked about LEER vs ARE - but if you are interested and your dealer sells them - check out Venturous Ozark brand with their polyfuse technology: https://venturoustrucktops.com/products/ozark-truck-cap/

Bump -
Getting the itch to go with Toyo At3 35x12.5x17 which are 64#s, about 10# more than my SL Falcon At3ws.
Still quite lightweight for a 35inch tireā¦
I ordered my topper at the end of July last year, and received it in October. I paid about $4.4k for a few extra options (matte black finish, roof rack/cross bars, and "win-doors").
I believe the base standard price is around $3500.
I used to have a KBvoodoo rack, and it served it's...
I may get the side eye for this reply - but after having a bed rack to now a Venturous Ozark topper, I would never go back to the bed rack.
Bed racks look cool - but they donāt keep gear safe from the elements or from folks wanting to steal gear. They also are getting to be ridiculously...
I havenāt chalked tested yet - and my mileage literally hasnāt gotten worse or better. Avg about 18.9 on my last fill up (although engine, gear ratio, driving location, etc will all play a part in that)
Been seeing a trend on the JT reddit sub with folks using ChatGPT to cartoonize their JT's - so I decided to do that as well. Thought maybe we should get a tread on it - it's kinda cool and fun.
When I bought my JT a few years back, I settled on Smart Liner - https://www.smartliner-usa.com/products/smartliner-custom-fit-floor-mats-for-2020-jeep-gladiator-with-non-lockable-rear-underseat-storage?make=39&model=214&year=3143&screen=4
I think at the time they had a 25% off sale - so I went...
I've been happy with my 5100s. I also have a topper but it isn't as heavy a the SmartCap, nor do I carry a bunch of gear - but the 5100s for sure made the ride more enjoyable compared to the stock shocks.
Before I got my toopper - I had the older gen 1 RC tri fold tonneau (the one with only 3 panels and it did not flip up to cab) and I had no issues with it at all. It kept bed dry (outside of a few spots near the tail gate corners) and looked good.
I tried re-enforcing the corners with some...
