    Just keep throwin' money at it.
    Currently none that I know of. Alu-Cab is looking to bring a few designed for the 2nd gen over to the US from South Africa eventually, but right now their US distributor does not carry their canopies.

    Alucab use aluminium... I have seen aluminium canopies crack on the welds. I opted for the stainless steel type.... much stronger and a bit better looking. SS is little heavier but not much.

    I like that! I prefer the rugged commercial look of a metal cap to the smooth flowing look of a fiberglass cap.

    Sweet Hilux man. We don't have SS caps, but most people use reinforced fiberglass shells if there are hauling a tent. That is what I had on my Tacoma

    AluCab has some cool stuff. I saw this pic on their site, for a second I thought this one had a crane on it!
