Bad shell

I like the dark green! ... it was a 50/50 choice for me between that and the dark grey.

About the shell... its ironic that you hate how the shell looks right now but still enjoy your tacoma enough to put a picture of it in your sig.

 

Nice looking tacoma you got there.
Hope you get the shell situation straighten out to your satisfaction.
Post up what you find out so others will know in the future.

 

Will post when i get home.

 

no way in hell is that the right cap. someone fukd up.

 

I never understood Campers in the first place.. IMO if i wanted a camper i would have bought a 4Runner.

 

True.
Although you would have more cargo space with ther long bed.

 

I would feel a little better about tossing a deer under my cap then in my 4Runner.

 

That is true.. but most people i know and have seen around here.. are not the deer huntin type.. i even have a friend back in Highschool that got the camper.. because he said he doesnt like the bed of his truck gettin water in it when it rains.. lets just say we are no longer friends

 

Dealer said he is going to look into it and get back with me. The reason I got it was so that we could put our suit cases and stuff in it when we go on trips to the beach the old lady wont take here 4 runner on the beach but I will take my truck out there in a minute. It also nice to go camping with told hold all the gear. Plus its alot cheeper than a 4 runner and can be take off if needed. I had a 05 that was the same model with shell it went all over the country. Sold it for tundra 4 door long bed that thing was loooooooooong so I went back to the tacoma with a cap in the 09 model. Cant wait to here what bs the dealer comes up with haahahah. FUN4YOU

 

HAHA...its a "shorty", had to joke about it. Looks wrong IMHO.

Dump the thing at the dealer, take some pics and fight the credit card charges...no way is that the right one. Sounds like the stealer already tried to screw you..time to end the deal right there.

 

not everything i throw under my cap i would want in my runner. like my tools,smelly,wet,muddy riding gear,and those damn dead hookers.i throw garbage in the back after im done with a job.i dont have to worry hearing everything rattle either. the cap isnt for everyone.

 

Wow. I would look for something different. Their reason why it is shorter does not make sense at all.

 

Damn dead hookers.. thats why i got a truck. Kept messing up my trunk. My old chrysler could only hold 3 at most, but now i can hold as many as i want! Toyota thinks of everything...!

 

Is that why you wouldn't let me look in the back of your truck,paint?

 

So are the plastic bed caps still on the truck?

I have sold and installed many LEER caps for the 05+ taco and have not seen that before. If you think the cap is not for your truck give me the serial # and I can make sure. Although if it is not the correct cap to fit the truck there would be obvious fit issues all over the place.

 

whats up joe. if i let you look,i would have had to kill you. since you were a nice retired guy,i didnt want to kill you......or did i???lol

 

No doubt that they have removed the bed caps. You do not need to remove them. Nothing wrong with the Leer, its a dealer problem. Make them fix it or get your money back. Looks like crap.

 

the serial # is 1820823 thanks for any info. FUN4YOU

As we expected the cap is the correct model code and fit for your truck. It was manufactured at LEER east in Feb 09. With being familiar with the manufacturing process there are a few things that could have occurred, either at the dealer (removing factory bedcaps) or the base rail of the cap was mounted to high causing the cap to sit lower on the bed (usually very unlikely in knowing how it is done) or the mold that it was made in was not designed to correct specs. The manufacturer probably has two or three of these molds for each truck type making it possible that ordering another from a different mold may be a solution. Good Luck Leer is a good company to deal with and if it is a Leer problem I am certain you can get it corrected.
