    YESSSSS! I use my truck for camping about once a month and hardware store runs weekly. I'd LOVE a system like this to put a camper shell over for overlanding. I'd use it to store tools, camping, and recovery gear. I'd be happy to take tons of pics, write reviews, and maintain a long term review thread. I'm a good, or at least enthusiastic, writer! Attached are pics of my Supercharged 2012 TRD Sport with OME suspension, and new sliders. I've also installed various things such as bed stiffeners & etc. I always do all my own work on my vehicles, for example a 3" Pro Comp suspension on my old Pathfinder, a million things on my bike, and I'm just starting on my new taco. I'll be at the Pamona Off-Road Expo Sept 30th buying new kit if you want to hook up so I can beg in person.

    Below are my babies, two tacos and an Interceptor.

    P.S. I'm not extremely mechanically inclined, so if I can successfully install it...anyone can.

    I have been a huge fan of the DECKED design of storage since my buddy started rapping them for you guys. When I bought my tacoma I really wanted one but they were not available, so I started making my own. After ALOT of work and it still not done I'm realising how nice it is to have a fully designed and finished system.
    Here's a pic of what I've built inspired by you guys. Would.love to have nice drawers, but man they are hard to make.....

    Hmmmm, deck thread, I should fit right in! Here's my double decker taco :cool:







    Although not very high, the space under the deck is quite useful for extra gear.

    I've been eyeing this thing forever. I'm glad it's finally here. I would love a shot at it, I don't plan on having a camper shell ever so it would really be out in the elements. I wheel/camp/tailgate/snowboard and I think this system would be great for me. I've been using heavy duty totes to keep my stuff organized but with this it would even be better. Thing about living 80 miles from South Lake Tahoe is this thing would get year round use!

    Thanks decked for putting out the product.

    This truck is my daily driver, weekday warrior, my office and my fun toy. I work for a tire distributor so I constantly have tires, brochures, swag, tools, etc etc in the truck. One of the reasons why i would love to participate on this is. Who wouldn't want to try some cool things? I get to try test tires all the time and get to experience things first hand and give feedback. From the looks of the picture looks like you can lock it, low profile and it looks like it can carry some serious weight on it. I been looking for a setup like this for my uses for my truck, but nothing is available as of yet.(Or that i know of) I get jealous when I see the full size trucks take their tools out of their truck and I don't have anything to store it in.

    Wow this is a great opportunity for someone! I would love to rep your product on my Tacoma! Currently building it up to take on a bunch of camping trips next summer. Would come in handy to help organize my bed on long trips (my dog takes up the whole back seat) haha Snapseed.jpgSnapseed.jpg

    I would be willing to do all of the above for you guys (i've been eyeing the tundra set up for a while)! I'm currently active duty military and will be taking a cross country trip back east next summer (completion of enlistment 15 years), I know this set up would be perfect for the trip and until then I think it would be great to test it out for daily use and compare to weekend trips and then the long cross country trip! plus I've been meaning to get on the forums and post more often so answering questions, taking photos etc would be a great way to do just that!

    And I mean just take a look at that sad empty bed

LOTS of wiring, dual battery setup, Solar charging system, with some random lights spread around here and there.
    Would love to try out the Decked product. Between trhe kids camping stuff and their stuff to keep them busy during the drive it all ends up in the cab, can't put it in the bed due to the dogs in the back. Just got back from an extended trip and kept getting into the cab since I didn't have anywhere to store anything in the back or bed. Everything either ended up in the RTT or the cab of the truck. Plus it would hive me a better motivation to redo and finish the water tank and air tank setup that is under the bed.

    Well
    i would love to test a bed system in my truck.
    i use my truck as a daily driver on days i can't get out on 2. other than that its main use is work, hauling contracting tools and wood. i think a bed system is perfect and would be perfect for my truck and uses. allow full use of the bed while still being able to haul and organize all the tools i need for a job.

    Recently opened my own business. Hauling tools in the bed of my truck is a must. I also frequently use the bed of the truck for moving Kayla paddle boards and lumber. I live 2 miles from the beach and 1 mile from the bay. It'll see plenty of abuse and get put to the test.
    If you do pick me tho cookies and beer is a distinct possibility in your future.

    IMG_3775.jpgNothing super spectacular like the rest of these posts....damn, very jealous of some of the stuff you guys are posting! Just my daily driver that I take camping a handful of times a year including some pretty cool wheeling trips with friends on this site. I carry practically a full bed of gear for work on a daily basis that needs to be kept secured, and that gets loaded and unloaded into my work vehicle a couple of times every day. Trips to Home Depot etc....

    You definitely need one of the extreme use members who have already posted but then you need an every day kind of guy like me to show how the other 90% use their trucks! Good luck to everyone!
