    From what I am hearing the only way to attach a cap on my 2013 Tacoma is with clamps that attach to the rails on the sides of my box. Does anyone know can these be purchased separately and if so where?
    Thanks: Rick

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    depends on the manufacturer of the cap, but most any can be found online.

    Those API units look exactly like OEM Leer.

    Weathertech floor liners moded to hold OEM floor mats, weathertech vent visors, Toyota bed mat, LEER 100XL cap, hood gasket mod to stop whistling.
    The APICLAMPS look like the ones that I had on my older LEER 100R. My 2014 LEER 100XL has screws that go through the cap into a bracket.

    I think that they could be pretty universal and I'll bet any cap shop could help you locally.

    My cap was installed that way, but for some reason one or two of the bolts would not stay tight. There was no room for a lock nut, so I put the API clamps on the front. They seem to be doing the job.
