Show me your Caps, Shells, Canopys on 2016's

Long bed cap guys can a second gen tacoma cap fit a third gen or is anyone running one from a second gen??

 

You could bolt it on there, but it wouldn't fit right

 

Your truck looks amazing nice work!!!

 

Was just about to order an Arrow Mark1 when I noticed a few things from the only picture I've seen of it;




The windows look out of place and they don't match well with the rest of the truck - plus I'm wondering if the canopy is an inch taller than the cab (made for a 2nd gen>?)..

compared to the SnugTop Rebel;


or the Leer 100XR;

 

I can buy this Leer for $900. Worth it? Matches my truck too I think. He said the driver side is one whole window that opens, tail light was working when he took it off, inside dome light works... but he doesn't have keys for the latches on the back. I may offer $600 and get Leer to make me a set of keys (if they can???). What do you guys think?

 

That’s a decent price. I paid almost three times that for an ARE MX. Mine included the side window that open out and sliding screened windows, drop down from window and Yakima rack system.

Go to a leer dealer and they can look up the keys by the serial number that should be attached to the shell. If they don’t have them in stock they can order them.

 

I'm having some moisture issues with my canopy. I live in Washington and it rains! Shocker!

I had a bungie cable that I left in the back grow some mold on it.I have a BedRUG installed and can see a little rain can enter through the tailgate. Its causing my back window to fog up.

I would love to hear if anyone else has run into similar issues and how they solved the issue.

 

ARE MX... I like the extra headroom with this design. Picked it up used, Fit is great but need to have it painted if I’m going to keep it.

 

Nate, have you sealed your tailgate? I used the ultimate tailgate seal and it seems to be working well.

My ARE shell didn’t seal well on the bottom corners between the shell, back window and tailgate. I used some of the left over tailgate seal and black silicon to adhere it to the shell. So far so good although it just started raining and snowing since I installed it. I did a trip to UT a couple weeks ago and the seal did a good job keeping the dust out.

I also sealed the side bed boxes and plugged the drain holes in the front of the bed. There are a couple other areas near the back of the bed on the sides near the bed boxes that need to be sealed.

 

Thank You I'll give that a try

 

ARE "Overlander"

 

Think that actually looks kinda good with the off color...

Is that a 2 foot Firestik? Got any more pics? How's the range? Trying to decide between a 2 foot Firestik and 3 foot Firefly, whenever I actually get around to my CB

 

New member here. This cap looks good. Do you mind me asking what options you got and how much you paid for your Rebel? I owned a Snugtop Rebel on my last truck and liked it. I'm about to order a new one for my Taco.

 

Welcome to the Forum!

No problem. I paid around $2200 for the unit. I added fold down sliding front window and the hard wired LED light inside the shell.

 

Good eye, yeah it’s a 2 foot... l have bother the 2 and 3 foot, 2 is good enough for me and stays just above the rack line, I’ll try to find link to my cb install write up, should be on my posts tho

 

Is that top from a 2nd gen and on a 3rd gen now? It looks a tad taller than the cab at very front (before the top slopes up). Doesn't look bad at all with the stock roof rack.

 

Nope it's a 2016 top according to the placard that is attached inside. The person I purchased from bought it new for their 2016 silver sky. Also the 2nd gen caps have a different style of flashing for the back window where it covers the tailgate.
