    I couldn't give you an answer because I have a cap from an old pickup (they fit our trucks' beds) and it has a raised roof, but it probably also depends on the manufacturer and type of shell.

    I would measure your bed to the top of the rail, then from there to the cab roof. Probably take an inch off that and you'd end up with a decent estimate.

    Has anyone recently installed a trail gear bumper on a 99 Tacoma, I read somewhere awhile ago that I'm gonna need to cut the frame horn things, is that still a thing? I didn't see it in the instructions.

    I used to have a a TRD supercharger on the Tacoma, converted back to NA when I bought the Tundra. The SC was tons of FUN!!!
    Ha, ended up just being low on fluid. I've never added fluid since I bought it back in 1996.

    No more pump growling, but now I need to fix the AC system ... I'll be spending a lot of time in Arizona soon ('feeling hot, hot, hot' ...)

    It was 10% off trailgear and free shipping on all LowRange stuff, I took advantage of it already.
