    Hey y’all

    I got a 97 xtra cab 5vz-fe. Pretty much stock at this point. Use it for a lot of camping and off roading on the east coast, and roadtripping across country. Bought it in Jersey with 97k miles - 142k on it now.

    Got mild rust issues on the frame starting that I really need to address. Otherwise she’s pretty solid.

    currently looking for a paradise blue cap that will fit my truck. I know it’s gonna be hard to find, but what better place to look than here? HMU if you know of anything.

    Haven't seen any in that color that I can think of. Judging by that boat I don't think the OP is in Colorado anyway...

    For whatever it's worth, I think a white topper will look better... and will be easier to find.
