Will it work?

Hi Guys,

To preface, I have an 03 Ranger that I am trying to kit up to do more camping with. It's a 2wd truck, but I plan on having a locker put in eventually. I already have a cap for the truck (aluminum pos), and have been looking for a nicer fiberglass upgrade.

I came upon this ad on my local Craigslist - http://buffalo.craigslist.org/pts/1593705155.html

I think the price is right, and it's pretty much exactly what I've been after. The only thing is though, it's for an 04' and older Tacoma. Will I run into serious issues if it doesn't fit exactly? My bed is the standard length bed for a stock 03 ranger. I called the local ARE dealership to get more info, and they straight up told me that it would not work, and that the dimensions, though close, would not look right. I feel that they would prefer me to purchase a new one though, and that their opinion might be skewed. Is it worth going out and trying to fit on my bed?

Thanks in advance, and please dont snipe my cap!!! :sombrero:

I can speak from experience, I tried to fit an aluminum ARE cap from a Ranger on my '99 Tacoma, and it was 2-3 inches too short for my truck. Keep looking.
