Anyone utilizing there inner bed fenders?? Pics Please!!

wondering if anyone has used the extra space to mount anything cool or figured out a way to use it for storage??

 

Is anyone's game this strong??

 

hello, is there anybody in there?

 

That is pretty genius

 

Lot of people put their air compressors under the sheet metal. Seen a few 80's trail rig trucks with a cut out for their hi-lift to fit into.

 

are there any pics or write ups on the air compressor mount?

 

There sure are. Here you go.

 

oh man that is next level awesome!!!!

 

Agreed, problem with the internet is that there are so many smart people showing me ways to spend more money.

 

@ROK-NJA,

I dove into my collection of pictures and ideas that I have skimmed off the web and found these pictures of a Tundra that had been highly modified for Bass Pro Shops.



Having never taken a Tundra bed apart I have no idea how easy hinging a Tacoma bedside would be, but the idea does lend itself to the possibility of some interesting solutions in both utility and storage. Hope these help kick start your creative process.

 

Subbed for inspiration

 

Sub'd to take my truck to the next level.

 

That's freaking badass!

 

I think that the concept opens up a whole new list of possibilities, I just think that this particular execution was based on the demands of a sales team and not anyone who intended to actually use the truck in the bush. I'd still like to see someone take their time and create a truly functional and useable space out of a hinged bedside.

 

I've seen a couple of pictures on ExPo where guys have added compartments to full sized trucks, but not Tacomas. They used to be optional on some years of Full sized trucks as well. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard for a good fabricator. I've also seen where some folks added racks that held smaller Pelican cases or ammo cans for tools and recovery gear but they had to get under the truck to get them- which seems like too much of a PITA to get to in my opinion. Maybe if you were going to do the expedition thing and wanted to carry seldom used items like extra fluids and spare parts...

I did some measuring a while back and was thinking about adding another battery under the passenger side; one of the smaller/slimmer Odyssey batteries would fit. Something like the PC1800-FT would be nice but they are really pricey.

 

Time to take that shit to the next level



I hope you understand that reference. Otherwise, I look like a jackass with a random ass picture.

 

its time like this i'm kinda glad i don't know how to weld

 

I always thought inside the bed side would be a good place for a hot dog tank for compressed air.

 

I'm sure that drug cartels have mind blowing methods of utilizing the body panels to hide cargo.
