    Saw this in facebook. One of the group members shared from Alaska. It's not his truck, he saw it and shared in a tacoma group. Couldn't resist sharing here too.

    Removed coal filter, Also installed AFE air filter. Roof rack with custom diamond plate air diverter.
    Not sure if I am seeing this right, but doesn't the tailgate block the entry door?
    And if it does block it wouldn't you be afraid of someone lifting it up while your inside?:eek:

    That side window is large enough to climb out if that happened. Tailgate down makes a porch too.

    Except for standing on the porch bending the porch............I am leary of even getting a shell without reinforcing the tailgate for all the crawling in and out or using the tailgate as a porch.

    bwaaahahah, then he can become a part of the bent tail gate crew.

    I do like that though…even if he took an old camper and used veneer/wood paneling. wood really is heavy, but I doubt that guy is worrying about gas mileage…he gets to sleep in his tacoma much comfortable then a lot of us!

    Yes, but that wood would look better on a pyrite or timberland truck
