    Hello everyone. I have had trucks for most of my adult life and have recently (1 week ago) come to see the Toyota side of life. WOW! Have I been missing out. I have a 2009 Pre-Runner Off Road TRD Dbl Cab that's pretty much loaded. I can honestly say that I have never loved a vehicle this much. The engineering was done with so much common sense and attention to the owner/driver I can't believe it took this long to convert.
    Now the next question is Tonneau or Cap?

    That's where I got mine too. That place is impressive.
