How can I find the body kit on my 2008 Tacoma PreRunner?

    A bit of backstory.

    I got this tacoma that was abandoned in a lot for about 5 years. Got some stuff done on it (brake pads, tires etc.) and apparently it has a lot of potential. I've never really been that big into trucks, in fact, I was originally going to get a sedan just for simplicity but then a relative of mine convinced me to get it and got most of the repairs to it done.

    So, I wanted to make it look more presentable by getting a cover for the bed, but the guy who had the truck before used a custom body kit which I haven't been able to find, so it's been kinda hard figuring out what cover I should get on there.

    Can anyone tell me how I can find the body kit for it? (Will take better pictures soon)

    Welcome to Tacoma World. Looks like the previous owner installed fiberglass front fenders & rear bedsides. Could be Fiberwerx as linked below but not sure because there are a couple companies that make them and I'm not smart enough to tell differences by my eyeball.

    https://www.fiberwerx.com/products/2005-2015-toyota-tacoma-fenders-4-bulge

    Since the bed sides rise up higher than normal and have curves, you probably can't use camper shells like a normal truck could. Possibly a soft topper will fit but not 100% sure how well it would seal up. Search around, someome has probably posted on this before. Good luck.

    Does look like Fiberwerx. I have the same glass on my truck.

    and like was said, those are trophy truck style fenders so nothing will sit flat on them. I’d personally swap to flat fiberglass fenders or back to stock if you want to mount a topper of any type.

    you could run a tonneau but you’d strictly need one that mounts just within the confines of bed rail to bed rail which the only examples of that I’ve seen are cheapo roll type
