Let's See Your Caps

You're not making this easier! Though I just remembered I am going on a 3 month trip sometime in the near future.

 

Glad to be able to help.

 

@Grumpy Uncle
Depends, I guess, on how you use your truck and how you plan to use it in the future. The Decked Drawers really ruin a truck beds use if you haul bulk stuff like dirt, sand, block, rubble, mulch, hay bales, lumber, etc. when that was what I did, I always had 3/4t trucks, they are better suited anyway. Now I have a utility trailer for this, when needed.
I’m retired and have a knee replacement as well as a fused back, so don’t do that stuff much now. I do still like to explore deep into the woods and mountains and prefer to go solo (with the wife) so the truck is sort of a bug out/over lander/survival rig with everything I need to get back home or stay put for a few weeks if needed. For a place to keep all the extraction gear and survival crap, the cap and drawers work pretty well.

 

I like the idea of keeping my recovery gear and other gear like my tools more secure and easier to get to. I think it has to be better than my current set up of adding or taking out multiple Pelican cases.

 

The Decked drawers are removable BUT if I were to haul dirt I'd rather go to U-Haul for their $19.95 special.

 

“Removable”?
So is the transmission, technically.
Unloading the drawers, disassembling the deck, removing the tie downs, and taking the drawers out would be a full day for me.
No thank you!

 

LOL. It's a 2-men job but it's not going to take all day.

I don’t have a helper. My back is fused. My knee is replaced. I can not reach over the side with the cap on. It’s an all day job for me. I get shit done. I don’t need help.

 

Its the rhino rack pioneer elevation 72"x56"

 

Thanks. I looked at Rhino before and I think they make awesome racks. I’ll have to pull the trigger one of these days.

 

They make some great products. I highly recommend picking one up

 

Yep, on my list. Have you ever had problem with the height for in-door parking? That’s one thing that worries me.

 

nope, no issue.

 

I went with one on the cab, and crossbars across the bed for the tent. I've had 5 adults standing on the one on the cab with no issue. (they may have been dancing)

 

That’s an awesome setup.

 

Got the new cap today

 

New Extang Solid Fold 2.0 just installed today! I like the way it looks.

 

looks good, what make and model topper?

 

Got a ARE Z series on mine the other day. Gotta take it back to the dealer to check out since the "trimless" edge is resting on the paint in spots. Either they didnt trim it back enough out of the mold or it needs a thicker rubber gasket to space it up more and away. Other than that very happy with it and one of the best looking ones out there in my opinion.

 

It's a ProTop, I got it off of Facebook for $400. Its lined with carpeting

 

Bump. No one has an aluminum topper like the alucab for the tacoma?

 

Does anyone know of a high roof fiberglass shell that fits the beds of the 2014-2019 models?

I really want a leer 122, but they only fit the 2007-2013 beds. Im half tempted to cut one of those up and extend it by a few inches to make it fit, but im not sure the curve of the tailgate is the same between 2013 and 2014.

I want something taller than the 180 and the mid height ones. The only options im finding are the custim aluminum work ones. Id rather thave fiberglass if possible. If you know of any manufacturers who make a tall shell, id love to hear, as my reaearch is leaving me empty handed.

 

Leer 100XR.

 

I admit my truck looks so much cooler without the cap BUT, its so damn useful esp for road trips or camping.

 

Looks good—embrace the canopy! My wife says it makes my truck look like an "old man's truck", but I like it.

 

thank you Sir, this is my third new cap and being a long time camper they are so useful. it is my first ARE and I really love it but I agree with your wife as I am an old man :}

 

Has anyone found a tall top (like the leer 122) for the 2014+ in their search? I cant find one from anyonenother than the are wedge.

 

Is the Leer 180 Series / Century High-C not high enough?
