About the payload... it seems to go heavy we would need a full size truck. I don't like full size trucks much for overlanding; they're too big for my taste. So I prefer the challenge of going light but still comfortable. If I could pick one vehicle it would be a Land-cruiser Troopy, but not too...
Been looking at these guys:

They are less than half price and from what I've read they are well built.
I think I'll go with a premade flatbed and build the topper. The flatbed will hold the weight and I'd like to use it for other stuff, so I want to make sure it can handle things...

Zero issues except a tranny vibration at about 20 mph. Seems resolved after I drained some of...
Howdy.
Just joined.
I drive a 2008 Toyota FJ Crusier (Automatic) and a 2020 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab/Short Bed TRD Offroad (Manual). The FJC has an OME heavy suspension and that's it for the mods.
