Let's See Your Caps

Leer XR with Thule square bars

 

Do you have wheel spacers?

 

Yes I have 3/4” Bora spacers

 

Lots of sweet tundras on this site. Yours caught my eye. Nice truck.

 

Thanks

I almost can't believe I already resolved the busted glass problem I mentioned here last week. I stumbled on a barebones listing on FB and as it turned out, it was an ATC cap off a 2011 DC Tundra, it was five miles from my house, and the guy only wanted $200! Color doesn't match, but that doesn't bother me right now. I actually like the profile of it more than the Century cap, and it has slide side windows which are an upgrade over the crank style ones of the Century, and most importantly, solid back glass

 

Nice find.

 

I was just wondering what length tracks are y'all running on your double cab and cross bar lengths?

 

Any stud trimming needed?

 

No but needed to Machine the factory wheels. There’s a small ridge in the wheel pocket that’s needs about 1/16 taken off.

 

I put my shell back on for the winter and figured I'd throw up a pic and join in.

 

FYI,

BORA also makes a 1" wheel spacer that doesn't require any trimming with factory aluminum wheels that have the "pockets". It's what I'm running. I had 1.25" spacers before, but too much crap being thrown on the side of the truck.

 

I think your truck looks awesome and even better with the cap! I've got one coming in a few weeks.

 

All you owners are making me jealous. Been waiting on my RLD Design canopy for over four months now!

 

Cheaper than the glass I'm sure.

 

Yes, by more than a few hundred $

 

I’m pretty new to bed caps but trying to do my research. If I have a power lock on the cap glass door, is it necessary to also have a power lock on the tailgate? In other words, is the cap lock secure enough to prevent tailgate access?
I appreciate all opinions.

You can still manually lock the tailgate...

 

I would say no.

 

Thanks and sure. Just lazy and prefer the cheapest, but still secure, power lock situation.

 

Mine doesn't prevent the tailgate from being opened, mine is manual lock tho

 

I’m looking at a Leer XR 100 so I think the cap will prevent the tailgate from opening. Thanks for the comment.

 

I went with the cheapest option: manual locks on the tailgate and cap.

 

My Leer cap does extend over the tailgate so I think it would hold it shut but I haven't tested it out of fear of breaking something.

 

I'm 100% positive I could force the tail gate down pass the cover piece on the back glass.

 

Mine would open with enough force, but it would do a lot of damage to the cap/window/latches. Locks are only deterants anyway. I always lock the tailgate if I'm going to lock the glass if only to protect the cap locks.

I leave it unlocked most often. Its rare that I have anything of value in the back.

 

I'll echo that, gotta lock the tailgate. wouldn't take much to force the tailgate open with the topper locked

 

It would also bust up your topper window/latches pretty bad. that would be expensive to fix I imagine. Keep the tailgate locked
