What are the advantages of aluminum over
other materials used for truck caps?
Aluminum is highly durable, completely rust-free,
and lightweight. These three characteristics make it ideal for
commercial cap construction. Because of its light weight, an
aluminum caps leave more payload capacity for your pickup -
you can carry more parts, tools, equipment and cargo because
your cap weights less. This payload advantage can mean real
dollars-and-cents savings by improving gas mileage and reducing
trip expenses to and from jobs. It also reduces wear and tear
on your truck. Because of aluminum's light weight, structural
reinforcement can be added where it is most needed, making aluminum
caps extra-strong at critical high-use/high-stress points. Freedom
from rust means your cap will stand up to wet conditions, salty
roads, and other destructive forces of rust that cause steel
caps to fail.
|

How long does it take to receive a LEER
Commercial Cap?
Whether it's a Journeyman Deluxe, Journeyman,
or 180CC, virtually every LEER Commercial Cap is a custom product
ordered with specifications, features and options to suit the
particular needs of an individual customer. That means LEER
maintains no "stock inventory" of commercial caps.
Once your order is placed through your Dealer with the
LEER production facility, typical lead times for delivery are
2 to 3 weeks. This lead time varies through the year, based
on volume. Check with your LEER Dealer when you order.
They can get specific production schedule information from the
plant.

I have custom design requirements. Can
LEER build my cap?
LEER commercial caps include a wide range of
options designed to satisfy the needs of the vast majority of
commercial cap buyers. We have built our 30-year reputation
by finding out what commercial cap owners want, and providing
it to them. Our production methods and low-cost structure limit the custom modifications we can make to our regular cap
products. We suggest you sit down with a LEER Dealer and
discuss your needs with him/her. It is likely you will find
the features you need in LEER's extensive list of standards
and options. In certain cases, new or special options can be
considered, depending upon pricing, feasibility, and size of
order. Your LEER Dealer is the right place to start with
this process.

Deluxe caps?

How will my new LEER Commercial Cap be
installed on my truck?
LEER Dealers and their customers have
long-developed preferences for cap installation. The most popular
method is with specially designed C-clamps that anchor the cap
rail to the truck bed rail. Four to six clamps are typically
used. This method of attachment does not require any drilling
of the truck bed rail, although the contact between cap and
truck rail may cause superficial abrasion of paint in that area.
Some cap owners prefer to have their LEER DCC bolted to the
truck bed. LEER Dealers who use this method will drill
the appropriate holes through your truck bed rail and use bolts,
nuts and, when necessary,lock washers for the attachment. LEER
considers either method - clamps or bolts - adequate and secure
for virtually all but the most severe conditions of use.
|
I'm replacing my truck. Will my old cap
fit on my new truck?
While cargo box dimensions from model to model
and year to year are similar, they are not exactly the same.
That means that it is likely that moving a cap from one make
(or model year) to another will not provide an adequate or acceptable
fit. If possible, "test-fit" the cap. You may find
the fit acceptable for your purposes.
|
I need repair parts for my cap. Can you
ship them to me?
LEER provides repair parts to LEER Dealers
only. We do not ship parts to end users. Identifying and installing
parts in accordance with our specifications, safety guidelines
and warranty requirements is best left to a LEER Dealer
near you. Here
is the link that lists the Distibutors in your area.
|
What is the weight-carrying capacity of
LEER Commercial roof racks?
LEER conservatively rates the capacity of its
racks (standard and optional) at 250 lbs. You can see the LEER
roof rack options here.
|
I want to install my own roof rack. Can
you reinforce the roof for me?
LEER offers an option called "Bolt Plate
Reinforcement" that adds a reinforcing plate of aluminum
at four points in the Journeyman Deluxe ceiling. This provides
the reinforcement you need to add your own rack after you take
delivery of your cap. Make sure you order the "Bolt Plate
Reinforcement" if you intend to add your own rack.
|
What colors do you offer? Can you paint
a LEER Commercial Cap to match my truck?
LEER offers a wide range of standard colors
for its Journeyman Deluxe units: The standard (.030") aluminum skin is
available in Polar White, Black, Dove Grey, Brandywine, Pewter,
Charcoal, Dark Blue, Red, Dark Green, and Silver. Standard colors
for the upgraded skin (.040") are Polar White or Black.
As an option, any LEER Journeyman unit can be painted with Dupont Automotive
paint that matches the factory OEM color formula used on your
truck.
