Was debating between that and the bedslide. Wish they had one that the top deck also slid out but was strong enough to handle serious weight. That system still looks awesome though!
I think it’s designed in the large trucks to hold 2k. But for my purposes it’s workin Bitchen

Love the set-up! Where did you get the bed rail mounting adapters from? I think those are pretty slick...I have a similar set up and it looks like that will suit my needs best.
I found them from a Tacoma World member who makes them himself. They are awesome, but with the new Decked drawers they didn’t clear the top of the deck so I had to flip them around and do a little modification. I’ll post pics of the mod today. Now they sit a little higher and consequently they are easy to access from the side Windoors of he shell.

Sick truck! Ours could be brothers!! Decked is my very next mod, just finished my Prinsu roof rack last week!
Welcome to the dark side my friend. Your taste in trucks is strong in the ways of coolness and Bitchenry...Party on!

So nice. Every time I scroll through this thread it just makes me want to drain my bank account on more shit...the struggle is real.

Thanks Tanner. It’s a fun hobby, but you’re right on the money...nothin good is ever cheap. I’m trying to build this one the right way the first time.

Ya, pretty damn sweet. The best part is the first few pages of the thread shows his rig, but as soon as you think you've seen it all, he snaps one last pic with the rig attached to a bad ass overland scout tailer!
Wow, impressive setup. Are you going to fit the trailer w/ matching wheels and KO2's?
I'm guessing you have ambitious travel plans? What's on the docket for 2018?

Eventually get the trailer fitted with the 285 KO2’s as well. The tires on it now and fine so I’ll chew that fat when I have to. We’re going out with the Turtleback crew to Mohave Rd and Death Valley in Feb and March and I’d like to get a week long Utah loop in the mix for spring, summertime is usually the Eastern Sierras for fishing and exploration. But I’m always up for a quickly day run or overnighter if family time permits.
I just got rid of my huge 36’ fifth wheel because I always stress with that thing on our back going down the road and it was quit a bit of work for ole dad. I prefer to travel and camp with the Turtleback because of the ease of set up and towing. And it’s just plain fun. Plus anywhere I can get he truck, the Turtleback will probably roll over as well.

Very cool. The Eastern Sierras are my jam. I'd love to hear how the shell / drawer combo works out in real world use. My concerns related to dust (both in the shell area and the drawers), and the real-world function of packing the drawers and living out of the rig.
Looking forward to updates!
