I’ve been perusing the 80/20 site and I’m pretty surprised I haven’t seen more of this stuff. This could be dangerous.

I am definitely considering the 8020. I have the back seat removed from my Access Cab so I may order a small amount to mess around with for the rear seat delete.

It’s looking like 1/2” Coosa Bluewater 26 with some kind of aluminum sub frame is what I’m going to be using. I spoke with a rep from Coosa Composites today, not only was he fast to return my call he was extremely helpful answering questions I had about the products.
Aside from the light...
Lots of awesome ideas in here. Thanks a lot to everyone who’s contributed, I can’t wait to finalize plans and bring something to life.
@bluejeep I had thought about using the aluminum extrusions as the frame work but was unsure of their strength. Seeing as how they are plenty strong, that...
Coosa was another option that I was very interested in, however, it appeared that it needed finishing which scared me off a little, however, I hadn’t considered something like the spray in bed liner. From what I had read Coosa Bluewater 26 sounds like an incredible product. Allegedly it works...
I’ve been wanting to build or buy a drawer system for my 3rd Gen long bed Tacoma since I purchased it, and now with the addition of my smart cap I really want to get the project moving.
I really like the Alu Cab system but at roughly $4,000 it’s beyond my remaining budget. I don’t want to use...
Awesome, thanks man. The one I have you can actually attach the nozzle directly to the handle. I’ll take a picture when I get home.

That’s been my idea... in my mind I don’t see why it wouldn’t be ok, it’s just a stainless water tank. I don’t believe they’re coated with anything. My logic with sticking with the 5 gallon cans is strictly space. When fully loaded I have room to stored our 2.5 gallon cans.

I have a Chapin 1749 stainless industrial sprayer that I originally bought for a camp shower and doing dishes, however, I’m wondering, to simplify things, would it be safe to store drinking water in it as well? Obviously this is assuming that it’s never had any chemical stored in it. This...
At $2600 they're pretty proud of those. OME makes good stuff, I guess it's just my logic that if I'm going to spend $2700 on coulovers/shocks then I'd be going with King. I was hoping that these would come in closer to the sub 2k price point.

I don't have the back seat out yet, I just picked it up a few days ago (3rd gen) but it appears to be identical to my second gen access cab too. With the access cab, the center console between the two jump seats sits up about half and inch higher than the two under seat storage compartments, so...
How are you securing the back seat platform? I'm building the same thing for my access cab but I'm trying to figure out a way to use the mounting holes for the back seats after I remove them. The only way I see it being possible is to have some brakets custom fabricated.

I thought I would bring this back to life. I've put off building the platform as I decided a while back to sell my 2nd gen Tacoma for a 3rd gen. My 3rd gen is almost here and so ill be getting started soon.
I debated using wood instead for a while for the weight savings but after visiting a...
It's a good looking truck for sure but with what their asking for the 16 I'll pass. I love my '12 but I'm pretty sure my next truck is going to be a Ram 3500 cummins. I plan to keep my 4.0 tacoma for a long time, though.

I'm in the very early stages of planning a 4x4 camper. I'm a firefighter so I make good money but not $500K a year money. I have a budget more around $100,000.
I work for a large department and we have several brush trucks based on the 4x4 international 4200 (VT365) and international 4x4...
I love this design, this is pretty similar to what I plan on doing with my tacoma. Your work looks nice and clean!
I'm a little hesitant to have lowes or Home Depot rip my boards for me because I've had them do it in the past and the work wasn't as exact as I would have wanted it, wasn't a big...
It would be spanning the width of the bed with a support running down the center (also where the two drawers will split), would this not be enough support to prevent sagging?

I'm thinking about using King Starboard as an alternative material to plywood for the bed drawer/sleeping platform in my second gen Tacoma. Is there any compelling reason not to use this material? I like that it's more weather resistant than wood, although I believe it is a little heavier and...
I won't be buying anymore MK products. After blowing out the crotch of 3 pairs of camber pants within weeks of purchase, I'm done buying their over priced crap. For a little more or even the same money I can buy an American made pair of pants or at the least a pair of foreign pants that isn't...
