Or check this new company based out of Canada. I talked to the guy on the phone and he seemed pretty cool. He is a Toyota fan also. I think he is even on this site. His tops sell for $850 I think.

I took a look at that guy's website and the sheer number of fabric choices is amazing. If I read his site right any fabric pattern sunbrella offers is available. He links you to the sunbrella samples page and they have some really funky patterns/colours you may even be able to get an exact or near exact colour match to your truck. His prices seem really reasonable too for what you get.
