I put a Leer on my 21. Went with the gull wing windows...huge benefit for accessing the cab and they have sliders as well for my dogs in the summer. I also like that the topper licks with the truck's doors via the key fob.

No, a Gen 2 shell will not fit a Gen 3, at least a Snugtop will not fit it. I have a shell on my Gen 2 and hoped to transfer it to my Gen 3, but was told by Snugtop there is a 2” difference in width. August 31 I ordered another shell and was told 12-16 weeks for delivery.
Has anyone else tried to put a older cap on a gen 3. The bed dimensions are the same as gen 2. Maybe the difference is in the thickness of the bed sides?

my original intention was to move my Snugtop from my gen 2 to my gen 3, but the Snugtop dealer said, due to width it wouldn’t fit, so I ordered another Snugtop, which after six months still hadn’t arrived, so I put a Smart Cap on it. Today, I will find out if I solved the water leak issue. Before I take it to have PPF installed I will run it thru a car hand only wash with high pressure blowers.

Please I am really struggling on smart cap vs another leer.
I placed burly tape inside the air vent on top of the cap and it worked beautifully! Afterward I took it thru a car wash and it is watertight! I think it looks much better than the Snugtop I have on my 2019, the cost is about the same…$5k. I am actually thinking of selling the snugtop and replacing it with another Smart Cap.

I am super interested in hearing about the heat side of the equation. I also have dogs in mine daily and love in an area that gets pretty damn hot in the summer. Surprisingly my leer did not get hot at all (white). Are you going to line the underside with anything? My jeep top is black and granted its completely apples to oranges but it gets hotter than f((# all.

Sorry, yes Gen 3 is wider! The Snugtop I ordered cost a bit over 4K, but I got the large windows, rack rails and increased load capacity. Without those options, I think it was about 3k.
