    From experience building tilt bed trailers, I'm having a hard time figuring out how the tilt mechanics world work on a Tacoma. There is just not enough room under for the tilt hardware. I'm sure some one has done it, but there would be a lot of fab work regardless.

    Secondly, the boxes are very weak when not attached to the frame. A sub frame would have to be built.

    Interested if someone else has done it.

    I think he's talking about a "Z Rack."

    Those are custom fab jobs, and dozens of hours of work. Lot of cash to blow, I'd probably do some research while building and add that at a much later date, if at all.
