Who Wants to Test a DECKED Storage System for Tacoma World?

Short bed 16 here.

My truck? Well, it's the family wagon that carries us all the way from daycare dropoff to costco runs to rough mountain trails. Right now, it's got a rubbermaid box of recovery gear and emergency supplies in the back, along with three bikes, a tent, and some hiking gear.

A drawer system will happen eventually, to replace box and give a bit more flat room and maybe act as emergency camping/rain shelter. But not today.

Unless you choose us, of course. Then you'll get a nice field test where the deck system will get abused with heavy gear in the drawers, be beat on on top by bikes and shopping runs, and over rough roads at high speeds to test the retention system.

Your call, boss.

 

I don't care about getting it free but I'd buy it today.

I carry work gear in bins and spread all over my passenger and back seat. I need a large variety of gear for work, and I work 6-7 days a week. I cross the US/Canada border weekly and the border guard commented that it looks like I live in my truck.

Winter is coming and I need something proper.

Let's get this this to market. My Pro deserves better than grocery bags and plastic bins.

 

Currently building a small overlanding group of active duty Air Force guys here in Vegas. We've actually been looking for a setup like this to run on our rigs to help give us better access to our camping and recovery gear. Would be honored to give our honest opinion on how it works out for us. Would be more than willing to do an install video as well as post up loads of pics and answer any questions. We can also help market on instagram as well (silver state_overland).

 

Yep - this guy. Thanks for the service, may you find the peace and happiness of the trails soothing!

 

What front bumper is that?

Love this! I currently use my 2006 DCSB as a daily driver, but also as my weekend exploration vehicle. I have been building this truck for overland travel and the plans for a bed storage unit have been in the works for a little while now (Walmart containers in the bed aren't cutting it!).

I am a professional photographer out of CO and have been working with companies such as Freespirit Recreation, Team4runner, and Elevated Tents shooting images for them! I'd love to give this an honest review while using it for everything from camping trips to camera gear for shoots. Storage for gear going on shoots has always been an issue, especially shooting where I need to take people in my truck.

This system would get tested on trails, tested for daily use, tested through the seasons of CO, and tested hauling camera gear for shoots! Not to mention, images of the system could be shot year round through using it.

 

does this interfere with a bed cap in anyway?

 

I would be thrilled to be able to test this system and have been looking for something like this. I use my truck for a lot of things - hauling various things for home projects, camping, mild offroading and also to get me to cool places to photograph. I enjoy working on my truck and adding things as well as sharing those experiences with everyone here. I even built my own drawer system years ago for a different vehicle and used it to hold recovery equipment and tools while offroading. The Decked system looks great and it would be a thrill to put it through its paces! I do a lot of landscape photography and could definitely do high quality photos of the installation and member requests.

Here's my truck:

 

Decked and my truck are a perfect match.
We're both tough looking, fit and intelligent. We're both capable leaders and able to take on any task. On the inside though.... we're different. We're compassionate and empathetic. We listen to your needs and work to fulfill them. And we can take a lot of sh#t without even flinching.

My truck would be a great ambassador for your brand. I drive all over the USA teaching Tactical Medical courses and other topics. I haul gear in my truck and I see nothing but potential for your system with my truck. It would be a great way to share your system with Law Enforcement and Military professionals all over.

I'm a Combat Veteran and hard worker. Family comes first for me and I could definitely use this on family trips or for future hurricane evacuation. My wife and daughter LOVE storage so they'll be all for it.

I can blog well and my wife has a professional photography page. I'm more than willing to post and to actively respond to questions or comments. I read a book once so I am pretty well able to represent your company in a manner that reflects the high standard of gear you're producing.

I have a full lift kit coming in this week so I think the DECKED system would be a perfect next step!! Thank you for the consideration!

 

Yeah I could use one! I can give it a beating!!!

 

I already volunteered my truck. But I would hate to be the one to choose which truck gets the set up. Lot of nice trucks out there.

 

I just came from the Jeep world in which I had a 2011 Wranger on 40s, d60s, etc. I love my Taco and I have only have it 2 weeks. This would be my first mod (lift, wheels, tires, sliders int the works) I look for to doing some overlanding with my wife we are planning trips already. Not much to look at yet, but here she is.

 

I would love to test out a DECKED system. I am currently using a modified BedSlide system but still have to un strap & remove cases to get to my gear. I believe your system would be a perfect fit for my needs.

I am an avid camper, hiker, hunter, fisher and work construction so I would be willing to give an honestly review each application.

I also have a Yosemite & Anchorage road trips scheduled on the books.









Thank You for consideration

Edit: To Pay It Forward If chosen I will give away my Bed Slide

 

Big fan of this setup. I'm an avid camper, offroader, roadtripper, and lover of gadgets. Alas, it has become tough to try and fit everything (tools, fuel, shovel/axe, camera gear, recovery gear, waterport, etc) into my truck without going with a roofrack, which I don't really want to do. A Decked drawer system would be a great solution! Thanks for the consideration. Check out my Instagram account (@tacopromatt) for more pictures, installs, etc.

 

Hard to say anything that everyone hasn't covered. But of course it would be great to be a part of something like this.

Building a overlander like most with FN wheels . Fox shocks . TC UCA etc and about to order white hard shell. And a Cargo slide draw set up to maximize the trucks space.

Travel a bunch in truck on the East coast and up to Mid West.

Good luck with your prototype and sales. Looks solid .

 

I'll throw my name into the hat for the heck of it. I'd love it because it would be the perfect accessory for all the mountain biking I do with all my buddies. Load up the bikes in the hitch or in the bed and still have a covered area to store all out gear for our weekend pisga and Dupont or Wilson's Creek trips. Would make toating my and my 3 best Bros and sometimes my little lady(50lb pit) all over NC a breeze. Some off road trails. Highway use busy areas like US national Whitewater Center would give this unit a full spectrum of conditions to be tested on. From dirt to pavement. Wilderness to the concrete jungle. I've also been known to park my older Tacoma's in very obscure ways to test overall load strength

 

I live in the rugged Pacific Northwest (Oregon) where my truck is often exposed to all of the elements and truly outs equipment to the test. I spend time in the mountains as well as the city as I use my truck for fun but also a daily driver for work.

My instagram account has a large following (wheelsandwoods) and I work in marketing/advertising so know what it takes to represent a product. My plans are big for my drawer system as I plan to use it for camping gear, shooting gear, fishing gear, biking and work.
