FlipPac Tacoma Frontier Compatibility??

[Josh41]

Anyone know if FlipPacs are compatible between Tacomas and Frontiers? I know that most ARE and Leer caps are not, but I am asking as AT Habitats are!!!
Thanks in advance.

I fthink all you need to know are the dimensions, but if most standard caps aren't you're probably out of luck

61" for Frontier CC SB
63" for Tacoma CC SB

Yes, I'm aware of the size of difference, Some caps can accommodate this with a flat bottom (where cap meets bed rail) that is a few inches wide. On one truck it will fit perfectly, on another,it will hang over or show the bed rails a little. Just depends on how it is made. And of course, a good seal needs be made with a rubber gasket/bulb seal. I ask because some caps work, like AT Overland, they designed it to work, and some don't, like LEER, they have an apron that comes down over the outside.

I have one on my frontier. I had to put a spacer between the bed rails and the topper so that it was tall enough to extend over the cab. I also had to remove the brake light on the cab. I just made a plastic cap to cover where the brake line had been.

When I was looking for camper shells the major different I noticed taco vs frontier is the horn on the bottom cab side of the fiberglass shells. The frontier has a more pronounced body line there and the taco is more square. I would bet a taco shell will fit a frontier, but not the other way around.
