    Hey All,

    Just bought my first Tacoma last month, an Silver '06 TRD Sport. Very Excited as I have dreamed of this truck since high school.

    I am looking to buy a canopy for it and am debating the soft top canopy vs a fiberglass shell.

    If you have an opinion one way or the other I would love to hear it!

    Thx!

    Bestop. They are awesome and you can take them off when you want. The only thing is ONLY clean the windows when you wash the truck. Use lots of water and a sponge.

    And welcome from Colorado
