I called my sister today and asked her to get this for me. I'm not 100% sure if she did or not though.

 

nope cause i called the guy. come on dont steal it from me!!!! lol jk i just want some thing to protect cargo and gimme a place to mount a roof rack and some light with change my truck up.

 

I used to have it and man let me tell you, I miss it. I've been looking everywhere for a good priced one. That particular one has the windor on the driver's side too. It's exactly like my old one minus the color.

 

it might look a little gooofy on mine but ill live gonna repaint it and it should come out pretty nice.

 

i say go for it...once color matched, it would look sharp, imo.

 

prolly gonna give my family the go ahead and drive over to bama and get it this weekend

 

hmmm, who's gona get it first!

 

Bidding war!

 

or a race.... haha

 

i have leer a camper shell (stored, and currently on craigslist) and when i was running it on my 01 prerunner 3rz, my acceleration & mpg was very noticeably lower. but it is a great way to add contained cubic footage and mount a roof rack and lights though!
(if there is anyone in the greater milwaukee/southeastern wisconsin area looking for a cap in great condition for a 1st gen 6ft bed, pm me and let me know!)

 

FYI, I think the guy miss typed when he said Extended cab cause he went on to type 4 door. That means it'll be a tad too short for those extended cab owners...

I have the exact same cap and its pretty nice. You will lose ~1MPG with it on...

 

lose milage??? thats weird would think it would help gas milage. well any way he sez its for a TWO door extended cab so it should fit my truck.

 

I'm not sure why those guys said you'd loose milage. With mine I gained a little over 1.5 MPG when I had it on. That was with a 31" spare and four 6" PIAA grabbing wind...

 

I have one on my extra cab. I typically see a lose of 1mpg with it on.

Sorry, I was confused because your sig has an extended cab truck (do you have two trucks?). Only Extra cab trucks have 4 doors (at least that's what I thought ).

Anyways, judging from the pic, that cap looks a bit too short for an extended cab.

 

no extra cab is the 2 door cab with the small back seats and long bed. a double cab on the other hand has 4 doors with big back seats and short bed

 

Have you contacted the seller to find out about the 'damage' he mentioned in the listing?

 

yeah he dropped it in the garage and scraped up one corner but im gonna sand it down and paint it anyways

 

I love the topper. Provides some protection of gear, etc and it actually increased my MPG by almost 2 MPG.

Unless you drive with your tailgate down (with no topper) then you will see an increase in fuel economy

 

huh well going to pick it up on friday prolly.
