Hi Jay... I responded to the pm comments but there's a text limit. Ya, if I were to build this again I probably would have built two separate longitudinal boxes so I could take one out for when "living" inside the truck. Getting in and out involves a lot of crawling around which gets pretty old, pretty quick. And now that I have a second Border Collie added to the camping mix I may really have to re-think this layout if I have to fit two large crates. Again, the tent is 1DAC large size. Fits the 80 perfectly but not sure about a 60 but it should be fine.I have a 1990 FJ62.. and ..
I love this set-up! I think I want this exact setup, but possibly slideable? So I can pull it back, when I want to put up the rear bench seat?
And when I want to use the full back area, I'll fold the bench down, slide this homemade deck forward and lock it in place. Then I would have 2 more rear deck sections, one to make full use of the rear compartment space to the closed tailgate. And a final section, that would add on and extend the deck onto the dropped tailgate.
Can I ask you? Where did you get that cool tailgate/window enclosure tent? Did you make that? I would like something like that, to keep the bugs and weather out.
Awesome ideas. Thanks..
-Jay
