    I have a homemade camper shell that I made for my 2nd gen tacoma. I am adapting it to fit my 2022 sr5. The problem I have is with the mounting clamps. The bed rail sits a bit lower so my clamps are a bit short. Are there any clamps that are made specifically for the 3rd gen tacoma? I have searched and can't find them. Here is what I have now. Not only is the bolt too short (which I could replace) but the top part of the clamps doesn't come down quite far enough for the bottom part to rest against once installed. The bottom of my camper shell is 3/4" thick where it sits on top of the bed sides.C9D20731-0BC1-4B54-8CBA-A4BB23A1577A.jpg

    Solved it! I purchased longer bolts and those clamps I posted a pic of work well enough. So if anyone wants to know, these clamps work on 3rd gen tacoma rails but with longer bolts.
