    Cool. I put mine on the back of the center console, but I never use my back seats for passengers.

    Here's my 1st tacoma. It was eventually totaled. This photo was taken during my 11 day Nova Scotia Road trip. I slept in the back of it all but a few nights.


    I'm camping again this weekend in New Hampshire, but this time with Taco 2.0. The "new to me" v6 DCLB. Can't wait!

    I got both girls and boys everyday in my truck and they’re always complaining about the leg room in my double cab. I’m always like, “you ungrateful mf’s”.

    Luckily all my friends love my truck and they don’t complain unless they’re the unlucky one who has to ride in the bed

    I don’t got that many friends lol.

    All of my guy friends got cars, but we use my truck as the squad vehicle just cause it’s the biggest car within the squad.

    Exactly. One time, I got fed up with one of my friends, I literally pulled off to the shoulder, and said: “look G, either you can stfu, or you can get off and hitchhike your way home”.

    It’s a cheap Tyger trifold cover off Amazon, I only paid $200 or something and I really really like it. I’ve had it on for almost 2 years now and there is no fading or rips or dry rotting.

    Really tempting... only thing I’m afraid of is having the hood rats stab it open. They did that to my friends Jeep soft top... didn’t steal anything, but just cut it open to satisfy themselves with a wrong doing.

    People suck. I’ve been running a soft roll up bed cover for a couple years and haven’t had any issues. But I don’t park my truck in shady places either

    I live in a safe area and always park in lit parking lots. It’s pretty thick vinyl and no water gets in the bed even when pressure washing the truck

    This mentioned incident occurred at school. Really sucked for my friend, cause he had to pause his suspension project to pay for a hard top just because somebody thought it’d be funny to cut open his top.

    I’m without a doubt, a soft top for my bed will eventually be vandalized.

    Think it can handle a screw driver?

    Can you sit on it?
