    2013 Tacoma TRD OffRoad, manual
    Snugtop cap
    Hello all!

    I bought my 2013 Tacoma TRD OffRoad from SoCal this January. Fortunately it came with a SnugTop cap so I didn't have to buy one myself. I've always loved my friend's Tacoma and now I finally have one of my own! I'm building a setup in the bed so I can use it as a camper for extended periods of time. I have most of my build completed, just have to fix a couple things (including replacing the weatherstripping on my snugtop).

    Looking forward to connecting with you all!
    Cheers

    Tell your friends you’re “Overlanding”. Sounds more sophisticated.
