    $4,150. It seems fair to me judging by other prices in this area.

    What kind of running board/step is that? Great build by the way. Your interior is awesome. My tax return is going to buy me some Katzkins!

    Thanks Bob. Those are Toyota running boards. The leather was done at Charlotte Sunroofs Inc. I can't remember the guy's name that I talked to but tell him you heard about them on TacomaWorld. He loves Tacomas.

    Finally installed my T1 angry eyelids. I bought them from Toyota Man's group buy.

    I love the bestop. It is one of my favorite accessories. The only issue I have had like many others is the velco strip along the front bulkhead coming unstuck, but I fixed that with a piece of 4 ft. aluminum angle clamped over the vinyl.

    23" front, 23 1/2" rear. I was planning to get some 285's, but I am going to stick with 265's to help with towing.

    Thanks man, I'm waiting on what I was told would be a good hookup on tires to decide if I can justify the cost of the 285s before I actually do them. I was gonna go 275 but there just aren't any tires I really want in that size.

    I love it. It keeps my stuff dry but only takes 5 minutes to remove.

    I may end up getting one, I was thinking about custom fabbing one, or just buy an ARE cap

    Thanks!

    I was looking at getting an ARE or LEER cap but I decided on the Bestop Supertop and I have not regretted it once. I can keep tools and other cargo dry, but its really easy to fold forward or remove completely if I need to make a trip to the dirt and gravel yard. And it doesn't weigh much so I don't have to worry about the weight of a cap sagging the rear suspension.

    My only concern with getting one of these is could it support the weight of snow? I know I need to stop bugging you about this cap haha

    Its cool, I really don't mind.:D

    I have seen a few pictures posted of bestops covered in snow and I don't think it affects them. I saw one yesterday, I will see if I can locate it.

    Here is a pic if it helps you not worry

    [​IMG]

    The frame and vinyl are pretty sturdy. I drilled out 2 rivots and replaced the pivot pins with bolts on the middle support for extra strength. I also have a 4 ft. piece of angle aluminum clamped on the front bulkhead over the velcro to hold the front window in place. It has been holding up great.

    Thanks! I guess I'll definitely have to consider one, how much do they run new? I understand if you don't want to say
