Hello, first thread here. I tried searching but haven't found anything.

Any ideas on what to use to fill a very large gap between the cab and bed/cap on my 2005 Tacoma? Needs to retain flexibility for severe offroading, and not wear away the paint inside or outside the gap in heavy dust/grit environments, etc. The truck has a shell permanently over the bed, 4" higher than the cab top.

There are some models of caps that use a rubber boot to seal the front against the back window of the cab - I've seen universal scorn for this at destroying paint. Any other thoughts?
