    That's what I was quoted for either brand-new-base-model low-rise cap with full manuf'ers warranty, OR, for $200-500 more, I could get a used, paint-matched, nicely-optioned one with no warranty.

    There's a place here in town that supposedly paints for $400 and will custom build you a fiberglass lid for $899, but I dunno how old their website is, it looks like it was build in the 1990s.

    @Mr.bee I'm disappointed. You must not have clicked my link. I 'didn't get a booty shake.

    1st one, not only is it too ratty/beat up to justify the price, but they obvious don't know wtf they're talking about combining all those makes/models as "fitting". We've pretty well established nothing out there really translates to 1GTs cleanly.

    2nd one, not for a Tundra. The cab-side wall is too vertical to be for a 1GT, IMHO.

    I found a really nice one near BM. I texted it to him directly, at the behest of your previous advice about posting here haha. If it were closer to me, I'd buy it tomorrow.
    I hope he's able to snag up it himself.

    Only if they go back and graduate from middle school. Because, by the looks of it, they’re still stuck there.

    That would be nicer than mine except for the windoor part. Too far from me though.

    I mean, it's perfect. Except, I have my concerns this could potentially be a fairly significant crack in the 'glas which would require repair, it's otherwise equipped mint. And white. And less than I paid for mine... Sucks it's not closer.

    I’ve been eyeing this one. Probably won’t do it, but for whoever wants the link. Also if I’m free I don’t mind grabbing it for someone if they pay for gas and come pick it up. It’ll be safe with the rest of tundra parts stacked in my garage haha

    Too bad it's for a long bed and priced too high for me. This is my dream camper.
