    The closest dealer is in St Louis - where I bought mine.

    It's not a bad drive...

    How sad.

    Snugtop has (had?) such a good reputation for quality products. Oh well, everything changes.... :(

    Sadly, not much.
    Leer 180. Have tracks and Thule cross bars. Is carpeted and has the removable front window (very convenient). Came on the truck when I purchased.

    I've been working on dialing in my new shell, too many pics...so I made a short video with still pics (it's only 1:41 long):
    Here are the highlights:
    • I have a 2017 Tacoma OR LB, stock suspension wheels, and tires.
    • Canopy is a Snugtop Rebel
    • My primary hobbies are scuba diving, kayaking, skiing, and I've been trying to focus on equipment that supports those activities
    • I use the WaterPORT to rinse my gear after being in the ocean (http://thewaterport.com/)
    • I use a Yeti Lithium 400 to charge my dive lights, cameras, run my laptop, etc; and I charge the Yeti via the bed inverter while driving between sites (https://www.goalzero.com/shop/power-stations/yeti-400-lithium-portable-power-station/)
    • "Lee Anderson" modular carpet kit (

    I find the whole cap business makes poor quality stuff. Fit and finish isn't of the highest quality in general.

    As someone who's been waiting 2 months now for this exact same setup to arrive after being told "it'll be in Monday" for the last several weeks, you've made me jealous.

    Looks awesome, I'm excited for mine.

    Installed yesterday - ARE CX classic, std side windows & fold down front slider window. Removed rear window decal & ARE rubber side emblems for a cleaner look.
    Love it, felt naked driving w/o one for the last year. Have had them on all of my pickups since 1983.

    I still think this is a dealer issue. I’ve seen 2nd gens SB with vented windoors. My dealer was able to do mine and it was an option at the time when I got mine 2 years ago.
