Whether you are outfitting a fleet of new Ford Mavericks for the job site or dialing in a 2nd Gen Toyota Tundra for an off-grid adventure, truck bed organization is the name of the game. Gone are the days of your dad’s heavy, color-matched fiberglass camper shell. Today’s truck owners demand modularity, durability, and a rugged utility-driven aesthetic.
Enter the Westin EXP Truck Cap and its modular sidekick, the EXP Storage Box. Let’s dive into what makes this combination the ultimate enclosed bed solution for modern auto modification and off-road enthusiasts.
The EXP Truck Cap: Built for Modern Demands
Fiberglass caps of the past were notorious for cracking under flex and requiring weeks of lead time for custom paint. Our EXP Truck Cap bypasses all that by utilizing a sturdy aluminum-composite-aluminum sandwich construction. This multi-layer design yields a lightweight yet rigid structure that can handle the harsh vibrations of corrugated trails without breaking a sweat.
Versatility: The EXP is available in both standard cab-height and taller profiles, perfect if you need an extra 2 in or 3 in of vertical clearance for oversized cargo. Plus, it’s available off-the-shelf in classic black or white, so if your fleet is outfitted in black/white, you can get a perfect-match cap on the way to you in a day or two, meaning you skip the paint shop waiting game and get your rig on the road faster.
Tech Integration: The EXP Truck Cap is designed to mesh with modern truck platforms. It features a built-in third brake light with vehicle-specific plug-and-play (or simple tap-in) wiring harnesses. Even better, for platforms like the Jeep Gladiator and Ford Ranger, the cap features an available integrated power lock on the rear door. You simply hit lock on your factory remote, and the cap locks with your truck.
Next-Level Organization: EXP Storage Boxes
An empty truck cap is just a cavern waiting to be organized. If you are tired of your gear or tools sliding around the bed, our EXP Storage Boxes are the upgrade for you.
Recently, ThatTRDPro, who was preparing for a 48-hour camping trip, gave us a look at the storage box installation process on a 2nd Gen Tundra. If you are handy with basic hand tools, adding these utility shelves is a simple weekend project. Here are a few installation highlights:
- Solid Foundation: The install utilizes the EXP Cap’s existing internal guide rails. By removing two standard plugs and dropping in a beefy M6 to M8 adapter with a flat washer, you create a secure mounting point.
- Modular Assembly: The box is assembled inside the cap using base brackets that tuck right into the guide rails. From there, slot nuts and M6 button-head bolts with lock washers are used to loosely assemble the top plates and side panels, allowing you to dial in the fitment before locking everything down.
- The Final Result: Once the rear panel is closed up, you are left with a highly durable, enclosed cubby that you can access from outside the truck bed with ease.
These storage boxes do more than just hold a 20 lbs recovery gear bag. They feature integrated rail systems allowing you to attach MOLLE panels to the inside for smaller tools and pouches. Choose to install our versatile table/shelf storage box kit, and you’ve got a custom fold-down kitchenette.
