Dropped price to $850

Hello all, Looking to sell my used drawer system. Bought used from a guy with a second Gen. Installed fine in my 3rd gen. Wanting some bed space back in my bed. Worn but in good condition. I’ll put hardware in labeled bags. You’ll need N empty truck bed to pick it up. $1k cash preferred...

Hello from Fremont!

Spent the first night in it last weekend after a long week of working on the tent. Almost done with it. Still have a short list of things to do, but 95% of the way there. Come next winter, I will most likely take it all apart again and fix the few things that I dislike. But for now I’ll enjoy...

After getting the mounting figured out, I put on the sides to the camper and set it on the truck. Drove it around for about a week or so then started on the canvas. Didn’t really have much of a plan/expectation with the tent portion. So kind of just went for it. Fit each side to the tent and...

Checkout “Ripcord platform Camper Build” on tacoma world. He has a comprehensive guide on how to do it yourself. If you want some help with some of the fabricated components feel free to message me!

Got the mounting system figured out. Two in the front and on each side. Bent up an 1/8 bracket that welds to the tube. I was excited to get the paint onto the frame, so I purchased Steel It, weld through paint. Really digging the finish. I cut some steel plate to use in the t slot bed rails...

Some paint, plating, and assembly going on this week. Got the top panel all mounted up, gaskets, t slot nuts. Got the machined parts back from the platers in 2 days. Guess they owed the shop a favor so I got to reap the benefits. Should have the tent frame fully assembled by this weekend...

Hello everyone, So I was looking around for some ideas to mount my smittybilt compressor and realized that no one makes an on board mount for these. So I fired up CAD and got to work. Only place this would really fit is where the ARB mounts or dual battery on the passenger side. Took a few...

Little bit more work through the weekend. Started out with modifying the rear door. I realized the latch mechanism and rear shock would interfere so I patched the cutout and made a new cutout. You can see the rear shock mount in the last photo. Ended up cutting a little off of the rear door...

Thank you! A lot of very skilled people have been patient with teaching me

Not mine, maybe one day. I have worked here since I was 14 during summers, then part time/full time through college until a couple years ago. So coming up on 12 years. Currently just a little bit of moonlighting, running machines and welding.

Little bit of progress this week and today. Got the shock mounts done for the side and rear doors. Took a little more time than expected, but happy with the outcome. Cut the tent top and bottom panels, drilled some holes for mounting. I also have the wrap for the top. Decided to lay it on to...

Quick little update from todays/tonight’s work. Spent about 13 hours in the shop minus a quick in n out run. Machined up some delrin bushings with a flange for the hinges/hinge face to ride on. Also made up a pair of machined parts to weld onto an aluminum bar to connect both sides of the...

Hello again, Well I spent around $250 in a large billet stock a couple of weeks ago. Spent the past few weekends doing some cnc work to machine up the hinges. 6 distinct parts- 4 bottom hinge plates that attach the bottom 8020 frame together. 4 top hinge plates that do the same. 4 top...

Hello OB, I started a platform camper design for my tacoma some months back. After seeing some people make them and the price from manufacturers like GoFast I decided to make my own. I worked in a sheet metal shop doing that and frame welding. Recently started doing some CNC machining as...

Me and some friends were out by Deer Valley, we got some good snow camping and a little wheeling in as well.

For my 2019 Tacoma I saw a lot of skids, a lot of recovery points. Nothing that put the two together. So I made my own. Build Thread

So I’ve had this idea for a couple of weeks and thought of a few different ways of approaching it. I decided to make a hitch mounted skid plate to protect the receiver, but I also wanted a recovery point capable of accepting a shackle. I didn’t see anyone making one, so off to the drawing board...
