StepSide 1st Gen Tacoma's ONLY

2002 Tacoma 2.7l Pre-runner

 

Love my stepside! Just gotta find a toolbox for it now. I do have a ARE camper shell for sell. Fits the stepside only.

 

Imagine a double cab step side

 

I don't have a step side, but I do have a step side tailgate shell that I need to sell cheap.

 

Tailgate shell?
What is that?

 

I imagine a tailgate w/o latches and hinges. Amirite?

Jeremy, it's prob, something someone needs but you need to post more and why don't people put their location?

 

Newbie here to this site. I have a 2001 Tacoma Prerunner step side. I am looking for a camper shell, and have found several for Ford Rangers, within a few hours drive. Can anyone tell me if a Ranger Flareside camper shell will fit a Tacoma step side without looking too goofy? I don't mind it not being perfect, but I don't want to spend time and money to find out if it won't fit

 

I've always heard they fit sizewise, just remember on Tacos there is a diff. between reg cab caps and extend cab caps. Can go one way but not the other. (reg. cab cap fits both, ext. cab cap will hit cab of regular.)

 

You are correct sir.
Also, sorry about the total lack of info. After you pointed it out I realized that my post was basically useless with more information. I’m in Oklahoma so if anyone wants pictures or more info just message me and I’ll be happy to help out.
Now, back to looking at sweet step-side Tacos.

 

Found a ARE CX in lunar mist on Craigslist here locally a few months back. Love it. Never thought I would find one especially in the same color as my truck. I have a really simple sleeping platform built in the back.

 

My friends and I have a bet where they try to guess the weight of the truck cap. I claim it's about 235lbs. They all think its 180 or less...

Anyone know a rough weight?

Sub 200.

 

Good stuff! Didnt think to check the official site

 

I got this 2003 step side back in 2016. 231k miles but runs amazing. The body is in great shape for the year. Love this truck.

 

Just joined the forum and found these posts after searching for step sides. Here's mine. Had to special order it when buying new in 2001. I was told they made about 1,000 a year at the time.

 

How much narrower is the bed from a standard 6'? It's already a bit cramped when she's loaded up... I have a line on a cheepish 2.4 stepside that I wanna buy just to scab for parts for my 3.4 SR5. This is what I'm workin with....

 

I'll go out and take a measurement later today when I get a chance.

 

Just measured it: it's 50" top-rail to rail; and about 52" inside the bed

 

Thank you!! Just what I needed... But just to make sure, It's 50" from the inside to inside of the bed rails or did you measure from the outside of the bed rails at the top?

 

right, 50" inside to inside.
