    I taped up the holes in the storage cubbies and it made a huge difference. And you got to make sure the tailgate window is secured nicely. I recently installed a magnet system so that it just attaches to my tailgate. I was using Velcro on the top of the tailgate before and it wasn't very reliable. A little bit of dust still gets inside but not enough to make me not want to camp in it

    There's also a thread here all about soft toppers where there's a ton of good tips and info. A few hundred pages long now. I think it's something like let's see your soft topper.

    Also this write up I did about it is one of the most popular articles on my site

    That’s a really good idea I’m going to grab some tape and coverup the holes from the cubbies. Is there a specific tape that you have found that has worked best or will the duct tape just work fine?

    I used duct tape and had to change it out after a few years. There's probably something better

    This trip was back at the end of March. We camped in Lone Pine and got to drive into a cave with our trucks.

    Fast forward two months ago I flew out to St Louis Missouri on a one way airplane flight. After searching here in California and all the dealers wanting 10-15k over MSRP I was able to get in touch with a sales manager at the Toyota Dealer and work out a deal with no price increase of any kind. They had the exact build and color allocated to arrive at their dealer in which I had been looking for the past 4months with no luck. I received a phone call from my sales manager that the truck had arrive that same night I was on an airplane to St Louis. Got picked up by a sales associate from the airport in the morning then just signed and was on my way to California on a 2k mile road trip.

    I really enjoyed driving through Utah and stoped to enjoy seeing all the scenic places. I slightly took a detour and headed to Zion national park as well. If you haven't not gone its a must. I plan on taking another trip to Zion with my family.
