Can't wait for the next video....looks wicked awesome!
Thank you for the idea of painting a cap with Raptor, your video was the first I had heard of doing this. I was able to pick up a cap relatively cheaply, just re-finished it this weekend! It came out great, can't wait to re-install it on my truck.
It looks wicked awesome! Love the black in contrast with your truck color!
I’m about to start this exact same kind of build. Picking up my cap tomorrow evening!
Great to see another Mainer with some quality content. If you ever want to do a co-lab and do a paddle for some moose antlers and trout let's rip it up!
Thank you. That would be awesome!
Ive been planning doing this exact project. It was nice to see how that raptor layed down . Thanks for going first ! Looks good .
That looks really nice!!! Great job! I need to do that to my cap. Great video!👍
I’m working on my truck camper, I’m also a Mainer. I’ve got my cap all insulated with reflectix as it is an aluminum cap and not a nice fiberglass one but it came with the 23 year old truck I bought. I’m getting my solar in tomorrow and I’ve got my “kitchen” and Bed all set, the floor is carpeted
Came out awesome!
Can't wait to see the rest of the build.
I've built 2 small campers and have used Vantech roof racks on them. Really pleased with their products. Your cap came out awesome ❗
Looks great man! Love your videos
That looks really good. Nice work!
Nice job...completely envious! I've got the softopper on for te 6ft bed, but would love to do what you did. Can't wait ti see more.
Nice job man, looks awesome!
Great job! That paint looks awesome!
Looks amazing!
Hey man, I just wanted to tell ya, you did a really good job refurbishing that cap, gave me some great ideas. thanks a lot ! Cheers !

NICE RAPTOR LINER WORK
I just raptor lined mine and my bed. Basically did the same thing you did. I'm planning to add a roof rack, just haven't found the one I like yet. Mine's for hunting big game and camping. :D
Gotta love AREs. I've had two and they've both been super solid and water tight.
I love it
Thank you for your video!
You did excellent job looks very nice 👍🏻
Thank you
Moosehead Beer? LOL...a Canadian element to this vid!!!
Damn excellent job!
Thank you!
Great job! I never thought about the bed liner. I got a used cap really cheap. I was thinking off wrapping mine with carbon fiber vinyl wrap. But I think I could spray like yours better than wrap it. I think it would look cool to put a wind deflector on the front rack too
Much easier to spray the bed liner and it hides imperfections
I spent 2 grand on my new ARE cap…couldn’t find any used in the northwest when I bought it. Looks like a lot of effort but yours looks great
I have an ARE Overland series bed cap on my Tacoma (it has a largely decorative section of spray on bedliner on the leading edge and under the side windows)... It's a shame yours did not come with the windoors... They are great for mounting bed storage cabinets behind. I am presently working on designing a windoor cabinet to hold a camp kitchen on the passenger side.
Excellent video and attention to detail. Add more light for the cap buildout
thanks for the help
You find toppers so easy...Been looking for months
Pretty nice...im thinking of not going with leer 122 highrise as you cannot add a roof rack.
Raptor liner looks good! I also bought a cap that didn’t match. I had mine done by line-x but now wishing I went the route you did. Great work
why do you wish you went the raptor liner route instead of line-x ? im wondering because im trying to decide between the two now
@@trichome3266 because you can tint it to match the color of the truck. Line-x has to be painter after the spray. I also got the UV protection with the Line-x and it’s not even been a year and it’s fading pretty bad.
Maine I live in Maine too.
Let us suggest a small solar panel to run a 12 V fan for ventilation, black camper shells are the best way to dry fruit they're so hot inside is unreal , soda stuff like that will actually explode inside there.
I used Raptor liner on my truck worked great , I only wish I would have taken more care to cover other things in the garage . It made a huge mess spraying at a higher pressure. Your rig looks AWESOME!!! I can't wait to see end result.
Can you do a rig walk around? Wheels, suspension etc.. Sweet truck!
Yup! Working on the inside video right now. Gonna be awesome! I will do a walk around this year.
Did you have a roof rack over the cab of the truck as well attached to the cab? If so can you do a video or tell how you installed that?
What grit sandpaper did you use? I’m picking up my used cap for my Tundra tomorrow and going to do the same Raptor liner.
I wonder how this process would work on a commercial aluminum cab like the ARE DCU, any idea? This is one of, if not the best video I've seen regarding adding and modding a cap/topper.
Thanks man. I think it would work just fine, you just need to prep it. Sand/scuff it up a bit. And maybe prime it? They might have a primer for bare metal? Check it out.
Awesome work man! How long is your bed?
looks good im doing same thing on mine so this helped a lot , who says youtube sux lol
I see you put this video up a year ago. How is the liner holding up on your shell?
I’m a surfer in California looking to do some surf camping inside my camper shell.
Do you think the fact that it states quite boldly Rod Case that it might be to much temptation for a thief as apposed to them not knowing whats inside ?
My only question is what type of truck did the cap come off of?
Please advise the brand name of your roof rack as have to accomplish the same project. Thanks!
So, did you spray it at 80psi, or the recommended psi?
Great work! I’m about to do this to mine. How many bottles did you use total?
2 I think
What’s the link to the cross bars?
Looking forward to it.....Where did you get that TRD with Maine logo sticker?
I had it made
@@mainetroutwhisperer Really nice...l may look into that for my TRD. Thanks.
What do you think of that roof rack/bar setup now after a year of use? That setup is truly the only reasonably priced rack for a topper available.
No complaints. Love it
Truck cap turned out great! Was thinking of doing this to mine but I’ve heard mixed reviews on how well it lasts. Just wondering how well it’s held up since you finished it? Any weathering or fading?
It’s been perfect. This is a legit bed-liner. Not rattle can. It’s 2 parts. Very durable. And mines been 2 winters in salt and crappy road/driving
How did you seal the bed storage boxes on the sides of the tacoma bed. When mine are open I can see holes and daylight down to the road, and these leak like crazy when its raining.
I didn’t
Have you taken it through the car wash? Hoping people don’t judge me too harshly for asking. Thinking of doing this to a truck bed cap on a work truck but take the truck through an auto car cash frequently
All the time. No issues
where did you get the roof bars? I'm looking for something like that
Link in description
How much did the rapture cost for doing the cap? I just bought one and it is stark white and my truck is red.
Link in description
I found one exact match to my truck color mint condition ARE ,these are getting hard to come by rn. I think the only reason mine was available is because it was listed at 999,999$.
Yup! They don’t last long.. people are grabbing them up quick.
@@mainetroutwhisperer Good shit brotha, Im watching your jerky vid rn. Similar recipe I use. Cant wait to see your build. Also did the same. New sub. Good shit.
did you raptor line those truck nuts too, jk truck looks great
I should
Where did you get all your seals an the screen
I think I linked that in description, but the screen I got at Home Depot
What size lift , tire/rim set up are you running?
I did a video on that not too long ago. Go check out my vids it’s in there.
@@mainetroutwhisperer I looked but couldn’t find it. What’s it under??
@@asse1112 th-cam.com/video/QH_45YUfUoA/w-d-xo.html
What mud flaps do you have on the truck?
Rockblokz
How well has this lasted?
Yes
Do you notice water getting in your cap?
None.
@@mainetroutwhisperer Trying to get the right seal for the bed side/front rails. Just ordered the same tailgate seal, ill try these two ESI seals for the front/side.
Has this color faded over the year?
Not at all
Was wondering is your bed 5ft?
6ft
@@mainetroutwhisperer I'm wanting to do a lot of this to my 09 I have but it's 5' which it might be a little harder to find a cap
@@stevemorris7845 I think it’s easier. Found a lot of shorter ones when looking
@@mainetroutwhisperer haven't looked to hard yet but I'll find one thank you sir. And I keep on watching the videos really enjoying them
I had that, too much wind noise.
Dude sell that to a Taco owner that’s truck is speedway blue like mine. Those are impossible to find.
Well never mind then
Hahah.
