    You can usually pick up keys at a RV/camper place as they stock them. Look for the key code on the front of the lock cylinder. My windoors came keyed to one and the back glass to another. Got it all sorted so I could just use one key for all of it.

    They’ll likely also have the gas struts you need too.

    I was looking for the number on the cylinders but unlike my last camper shell, this one has no numbers. I believe the locks/handles are aftermarket.

    Haha, it doesn't bother me too much. I would like to try to limit the water getting in as much as I can.

    Yes - I'm looking for the distance between the ARE Factory mounted tracks and the overall length of those tracks on the DCSB cap.
    Thanks!

    No I sure didn't. I do not find them necessary but I don't think it would hurt anything by doing so. Here are some pics of the inside I meant to upload. 7meeidhxT6i43uhBVxAvJA.jpg Vz0jLQjlRP6MlJpNR+JP%A.jpg KPWTb7GvTjuDtDtPfO2nIw.jpg Exs9MVRSS8GGW1uHBolPMg.jpg 4yVwinyqQ5aaw1G1oUo1TA.jpg

    Found a cap on Craigslist for that fit my 99 regular cab. I think it was originally off a Ranger, but it fits perfectly. F2F78EA1-CBA8-4A4C-AD01-8E8D7436131F.jpg

    Just the basics
    If you don't want to do bed stiffeners another option is to use a ratchet strap hooked to the bed rails. Tighten for trips and take it off in camp. I have a buddy with a Frontier and it's worked well for him.

    Leer 100RCC. I'll post more photos of the interior later but it has lighting from the factory which is super bright. SO stoked on this shell and especially the windoors!

    You think Tacoma’s are hard on a checkbook, take up Flyfishing. It is a wonderful sport, I love it, very relaxing.
