Camper Shell info..
I am looking at buying a fiberglass campershell for my 02 Tacoma x-cab 4x4. The shell is coming off a 96 Toyota 4x4. Is there a change in the standard short bed from 1996 to 2002? Can anyone even say if this shell will fit? Any input would be beneficial. Thank you in advance!!!!!

Shell
Dlouble check the seals and make sure they're not cracked or dried out, especially around the rear sliding window at the cab. That's where they are the most prone to leaking.
Stay away from the j-hooks, use the bolt attatchment instead. The j-hooks move and wind up bending the lip under the railing.

As already suggested, call a local truck shop to make sure no problems. I didn't stay up on Taco's but as long as the cab lines are the same and the bed is same length you should be fine. The reason I mention the cab lines is you don't want 'dog ears'; this is where the shell sticks out further than the cab.
I used C clamps on my truck and never had a problem with them loosening up or moving. I also had an over-the-rail bed liner with cutouts for the clamps.
Brand names haven't really been mentioned, but I really liked my A.R.E. shell
