I was thinking, like your trailer, to put in a second tier and a bed above that like yours. I would have to use the corners for support and . .well I'm a big guy so not sure about that
I would leave room below for my clear water resist containers. Would need to have a place for the ARB and camp kitchen on the back.Pop open the doors and drop mosquito netting below - gather it at the base above the tire and sleep with the doors open on nice/warm days. If no bugs, just don't put the nets up. The doors would be like awnings.
It is 5x7 and he won't sell it separate, so prolly a moot issue.
My truck is 79" wide, so I would have 8-9" on each side inset - I think that would look bad possibly - not sure - May look good. Length would be perfect.
Guessing it would be lighter than my bed and topper.
Not sure what I could get for my bed/topper if I tried to sell.
and then SAS, xfer case, dual batts, a 3.4 conversion, lift, lockers, larger wheels and tires, winch, etc etc.....and have something that sits in the driveway for years not moving.....(im allowed to say that, cause i have a vehicle that has sat in the driveway for 1/2 a year)
SAS - Prolly not going to do
xfer case - If I break my current
dual batts - done
3.4 Conv - Got a 2UZ
Lift - Done
Lockers - Maybe rear ARB someday
Larger wheels tires - Done
I'm DD it to work and it is like driving Lexus! Gas mileage is the killer of course
@uzj100 and others have told me the 100 was smooth, but so is the Tundra

Why dont you just wait a few months till you have a new and different platform to build ?

I was referring to taking that truck and using it as the platform, not your tundy. That cargo bed is probably going to be close to your current weight of bed and topper. They arent built lightly.
You should look for something similar on a full size truck. Might be exactly what you need. If you find on the same width as the tundy, you can mount alum boxes under the box for storage.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Kinda looking for an ext cab mini truck
as a trail rig, but not 2WD.I still have to weld on the sliders before I sell . . i kieed.
Don't go there re: the Tundra - I will be divorced before I swap that truck out any time soon
Wife just found the TJM winch I bought on sale, and lets just say . . the weekend went down hill from there.
Dog stepped on my keyboard while i was away....honest. ROFL.
I was tryin to say he would need to do all that stuff if he used that box truck instead of his tundy. He may be able to find a full size box like that, which would be a better fit, and allow mounting a couple of side load boxes under each side where the lower quarter panels would be.

dang so sad I missed out on that TJM sale... what were the winches going for?
Not sure how many they have but in NODA for the charlotte folks
Just found out my old Peg Perego Gauchos that I got for my Niece and Nephew are still sitting behind my sisters house. Free to any current ONSC member just buy me a beer next time i'm in town.
I don't think they currently run... they ran fine when I first got them and them my niece and nephew lost interest in them and they've sat outside uncovered for years through rain and snow.
There are two of them, and they should have some extra parts that I bought off of CL for them a few years back.
I was holding them for someone in 2015 that decided he couldn't grab them but by then I was in WA so I never really thought of them again.
