So, looking at the local craigslist and came across this...anyone else ever seen a stepside tacoma? anybody have one? pics would be awesome if you do

 

@erice

 

My old boss had one, I actually scrubed its bumper by accident haha. They were later in the model years I believe.

Tiny 1st gen box is real tiny with a step side

 

I see them lots


Fuckin ugly

 

I understand they may have s bit of utility for some....but I am fine with my bumper as is. I'm not a fan of how they look either.

 

checked out @erice and his rig looks great!
i figured it would be real small but i think it looks really cool and definitely different. i have never come across one and really didnt think with the already small size they even offered one. blew my mind!

 

Yeah, they are a special breed. I went from no truck to a truck so i didn't mind the narrower bed. that shell is rare and priced nicely though. I drove stupid far to get one for mine. Now that i have one i see them everywhere.
@Ritchie also has one that makes mine look... simple

 

from the few replies they arent everyones cup of tea but i like it.
checked out @Ritchie also and lookin good

edit: and looks like he found a toolbox for it also

 

haha yeah, some like, some don't.
Yeah his rig is sweet.

 

That's a 1st gen stepside. A little less common than putting pants on every morning. Not much though

 

yeah i didnt think about putting it up in the first gen threads, i never go over there

 

Here is a shot of the bed at Valley of the moon, just before the waterfall, taken by @sdfstop

 

I've definitely seen them around occasionally. For the life of me, can't figure out why anyone would want a "truck" that can't carry a sheet of plywood.

 

No but I get nightmares whenever I see a stepside first gen Tundra.

 

I have an acquaintance who has one. Not really my thing, but he likes it. I do not see them often at all though.

 

lookin good man i need to look at your build, looks like you have a few hidden goodies under that rig.

 

im thinking they may have been offered more the further west we go. the guys on here who have them are in cali. im from arkansas and have never seen one and you are out of AL looks like and have seen very few.

 

I kinda like it. Someone could get pretty creative making a high clearance rear bumper for that!

 

That’s what I did. At the time, and maybe still, aftermarket step side parts were scarce and more so today.
My rear bumper isn’t perfect but effective. I made the sliders as nothing was available for a RC short bed.

 

Never seen one in my life.

Those stepside Tundras are disgusting though.
