# I Put an Overland Aluminum Truck Cap on My Tacoma Trailhunter | Full Install & Review ## Overview This video covers I installed and reviewed the OPENROAD Aluminum Truck Cap on my 4th Generation Toyota Tacoma Trailhun... ## Key Points - Point 1 - Point 2 - Point 3 ## Conclusion I installed and reviewed the OPENROAD Aluminum Truck Cap on my 4th Generation Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter with the 6-foot bed. This video is designed to be both a complete installation reference and an ownership demo: full assembly, sealing, installation, dome-light wiring, fitment, tailgate clearance, controlled water test, car-wash test, real rain/thunderstorm testing when conditions allow, and real-world use in Sleepy Creek Wildlife Management Area. We assemble the entire cap while leaving the hardware loose for alignment, tighten all cap-assembly nuts and bolts, apply the bottom rubber seal, seal the interior roof hardware, seal the major exterior seams using Mylar tape as a guide and protection, clean the Tacoma bed rails, mount the cap, route the wiring, inspect it, and perform a complete water test. This video is for owners researching a truck cap, camper shell, truck topper, or enclosed overland bed setup.
