Yeah, the aftermarket isnt much better for us second gen guys. Nice truck, I was going to go with a softopper but found a Leer for a good price and went with that. I wanted something I could use to carry a rack and my canoe.

I am going to follow this, I would like to do something with my wife's 97 Dakota SLT ext cab. I like the soft topper idea, with some drawers. I want to use mine for hunting with my boys and dogs. I have to wait until they get older, so I'm practicing on my JK.
Good luck
