    Tacomas are very capable in stock form! I've wheeled stock Yota 4x4s for most of my life!

    It's not that bad. I found the bed at pull-a-part for $200, the frame at a dealer in Bowling Green for $50, the shell for $140, leafs springs from @baldridge . The most expensive part will be the axle for $275.

    You done the ECGS mod Matt? How difficult was it to do? I think I'm gonna tackle it when I put my suspension on. I've watched videos, but there's always snags you run into sometimes.

    Stupid question, would it be easier to build a custom frame? Might be lighter? Also check out https://compactcampingstore.com/col...ing-frame-parts/products/camping-trailer-axle

    Cheap trailer axles. Custom built to your specs with whatever hubs you want.

    I can't weld, so a stock frame was my best option :D. It's also a lot lighter and easier for me b/c I know I can use easily found stuff for it.

    Thats the same company i got my axle from. Its very beefy. Shipping was a bit high but your still not going to be anywhere near 275. Maybe 200 with shipping.

    This will be the first axle I've had to buy. I used the stock Comanche axle on the Jeep trailer(I wanted this one to be lighter). The M416 I had never got past me taking it completely apart before I sold it :rofl:

    This is my first one as well. I plan to do a 4x8 or 4x6 enclosed conversion eventually.
