@caz Everything I measured is too big to fit a Taco bed. It seems most of them came out of full size pick up's. I do have one more in storage I'll check.
On a separate note, my son took the fiberglass cap off of his 1991 Yota pickup. It's in real nice shape and I'm sure he'd give you a heck of a good deal on it if you're interested. If so, let me know and I'll get you some pics and measurements. Best thing is it's red too!

A guy on ebay has some used troxler cases Product Detail They look similar to the military pelican cases. I ordered one for my self for tools and parts in the runner. It may be a option for you.
What color will you paint it?

I visited Jamarquardt's house this morning. He did an incredible job welding on the bumper crossmember. It was a lot of work and I was glad I didn't attempt it alone - especially with my marginal welding skills.
Thanks Andy!!!!

Wow- looks awesome, you guys did a great job and that is a killer bumper! Changes the whole complexion of the Taco in my opinion. And I saw Andy's welding skills when his frame tore on the trail last year- he did a great job re-welding it under less than optimal circumstances, used Doc's onboard welder out in the hot sun and welding in a difficult spot to get at on his truck; it turned out as good as you could have hoped. Was able to drive the truck back out to the staging area.
Hope the bumper doesn't get scratched at Rausch in a few weeks.............

That was a real bummer we had to slot the holes so much. If you decide you want it to be further from the body we can slot the lowers further and run a stich weld along the upper tab and winch plate. I think it could be cut with a grinder if you needed to remove it. It wouldnt mess up the power coat too much either. only about 2" where you wouldnt see it with a winch on.

For now, I think it is perfect. If I change my mind, weavers is cheap enough to powder coat again.
Really happy with it - hope they can turn it around before coal mine!
