SmartCap EVO Bed Cap installed on 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-Road

[evlfred]

I put mine together yesterday. Picked up a 20-200 inch-pound torque wrench from O'Reily's Auto Parts because my existing in-lb wrench didn't go low enough. (Am now the proud owner of 5 torque wrenches).

Today's tasks are to get the gasket on and mount it on the truck.
Unfortunately, they were out of wiring harnesses, so I have to wait to hook up the top brake light.

you ever get the third brake light wiring harness? If so how long did it take, mine shipped without it too

Took about 3 weeks. https://www.tacoma4g.com/forum/threads/smartcap-adventure-topper-installed.6821/page-2#post-96220
I recommend that you use a step drill for the hole, I used a standard 3/4" bit and it wanted to twist the sheet metal.

Has anyone purchased the marine grade 304 stainless steel competition, the Expedition brand bed cap?

It’s priced at $2500 vs. $4400. It doesn’t offer side windows like the SmartCap however. It appears that the Expedition cap for 2024 + Tacoma’s is currently on back order.
