    Hey Everyone,

    Thanks for welcoming me to the community! A couple of months back i bought my first Tacoma! A 1st gen regular cab 4x4 with frame recall performed! I live in Michigan so this is God sent! I absolutely love my truck. Just got back from a 2 week truck camping/grouse hunting trip in the U.P. of Michigan 85% all dirt. Wow what a bad ass little truck. I could fit and go anywhere!

    This trip really proved that I need a topper/camper shell/cap. I have a Leer fiberglass tonneau cover which really helped but for what ill be doing with the truck I really need a quality full topper. Talk about vehicle specific and hard to find!

    Also looking for a white rust free tailgate.

    I've already received a ton of help off the forum without being a member.

    Welcome to The Forum! :thumbsup:

    A camper shell would be a great addition, I love mine!
    You'll want to protect that new frame. I keep hearing Fluid Film is a popular choice for frame protection.
