Have finally gotten the Overland Vehicle Systems Expedition Cap mounted onto the Tacoma, and I talk about how the install went, as well as my first impressions about the quality of the bed cap. If you've been looking for an un-sponsored, unbiased review of the OVS Expedition Cap, tune in; you'll find it here. I also talk more about the Southeast Backcountry Discovery Route, which I want to make one of the first places we test-bed all this new stuff.
