    I would like to test but my uses are minimal compared to others I'm sure.. mostly have use for road trips, hunting during season, keep tools in daily.. test weather resistance in the lovely sc weather. This is the only pic of my truck at the moment.. 2017 xsp 4x4

    Well,I don't have a picture ....will get one tomorrow. I like this a lot.. I have looked at the bedslide and ARB but I believe this would fit just right with my camper shell on or off ......keeping my hunting ,fishing, kayaking and spear fishing gear organized ,safe ,and secure.

    I do a lot of outdoor activities and camping so I think in 6 months to year I will know if this unit will last or fall apart.

    I like to have the best I can afford of equipment and use my stuff pretty hard so if there is a downside to the decked system I can find it.

    With that being said I am also honest so if I was to try and load 2000 lbs on it and it broke I am not going to bash manufacturers.

    The decked system will fit a lot of people's needs and I am sure it will become a top seller congrats on finally getting this to market for tacoma owners.

    Only picture at the moment

    Here’s my 2016 TRD Off road 6 M/T with the premium and technology package. I use this truck as my daily driver. My son loves helping me wash and detail my truck. I have been looking for a bed storage solution and the decked storage system caught my eye. I do side jobs(mostly 12 volt stuff) and would love to have a safe place to store my tools and equipment.C205D525-3879-4D09-A309-CA0DDBE74B9F.jpg82B7E1BB-A463-4C6A-81E3-6F261886EF6A.jpg

    Ive been waiting for these to come available for quite some time. Quite jealous of those full size guys!:woot:

    Currently DDing the truck while going to school, and use it mostly as a weekend warrior/RV. Would really love a solid base such as decked to start my interior build, as well as have that added storage to gain more living room, as well as hide away & protect things like electrical systems, recovery gear, water, etc


    Unfortunately not a 3rd gen though :spy: 2008 TRD Sport DCLB

    I would love to test this out for you guys! I already love the look and design of this product and I think it would fit and help my lifestyle tremendously. I am a general contractor and I use my truck for work a lot. Luckily I also have a beater truck that takes the abuse when need be so I can keep my Taco nice and clean. But I have been trying to get more organized lately. So everyday I have a few tool bags loaded with my main tools I need to bring to my jobsite. And every morning I have to load them up in my truck and unload them when I get home. It would be so much more convenient if I had these drawers to keep my most needed tools without having to take them in and out everyday which is a pain. Also, a lot of times I would like to go somewhere after work, whether it be the grocery store, home depot, or the gym, without having to worry about my tools in the back getting stolen. I saw the thread the other day with this product and immediately showed my dad the pics, since I work with him. He also thought it was a sweet product and would be a great upgrade and something that would make my life easier.

    I would also love to help the TW world and answer as many questions on a new thread as there may be for this product, as well as snap and post pics as much as the TW community wants or needs. I will provide real world updates throughout the process. Thanks for your consideration @TheDECKEDGuy

    I don't even know if this is open for 2nd gens or not, but I'll throw this out there anyway. I use my truck to explore places I've never been before. It serves as my base-camp when I'm out in the sticks. A system like Decked seems like an efficient, durable way to store tools and equipment I need for day-to-day use as well as for extended travels in the wild.

    Imma a keep it simple:
    3 points-
    1. Love tinkering with the truck, had a sponsored product before, know how this works. I won't F this up.
    2. Daily driver, building it to take my teenage daughters cross country through the national parks next summer. They grow up fast. Don't let my girls down.
    3. We'll repped on a well rigged 2017 pro rig. It won't be wasted.

    Bad pic, I'll update with more recent later... photog can't keep up with mods

    See Build Page
    Does it have to be a 3rd Gen? Or will it work in a 2nd gen DCLB?


    Heading to Moab in a month. Love to camp, wheel, and just plain get into the mountains. Would love to have a pull out system to store gear in.



    My Rottie can help test how durable the top of the deck is too!

    It would an honer for me to test this decked out!

    I've always wanted a deck for my hunting and camping gears. Hunting season starts this weekend and I'm sure this will be heavily used.

    I will be using this with and without a softopper.


    Found this behind a dumpster a few days ago. This is my temporary storage...

    Fantastic idea OP. Also looks like a release date group buy might be in order. Looks to be a great product.

    Hey! This is awesome! I have a 2016 TRD OR 4x4 that I use as a daily driver, trail/camping rig and a work truck for my detailing business and lawn care business.

    This system would be well used and reviewed with my truck. I've owned my truck for a little over a year now and Its been through a good many changes in that time. I love the truck and can't imagine ever getting rid of it.

    It would be used to haul my camping and trail gear for off road trips. I would also use it to keep my car detailing equipment and soaps in. I will also squeeze my gas jugs, trimmer string/attachments in. This is literally perfect for Me.

    I obviously agree to the terms above and cannot wait to see this thing in action!! Looking forward to hearing from you!!!

    IMG_0184.jpg IMG_2113.jpg IMG_0305.jpg IMG_1621.jpg I'll throw my hat in the ring. I'm a professional mechanic with a proclivity for anything outdoors. I'm a Virgo and believe "everything has a place, and everything in it's place". I was shopping the competitors when I stumbled upon a post many moons ago that stated Decked was coming to the midsize market. I immediately subscribed for email notifications and stopped shopping and started waiting. I often checked the website. I often muddled my way through my email "junk" folder just in case I missed any emails from Decked letting me know when my personal holy grail of organization for my truck would be available.

    Recently rumors started swirling...October they said...

    Then I open up the 3rd Gen forums to find the OP's post and I heard angels sing and a beam of light shined threw the window....devine providence.....I knew I had to enter...

    ....and enter I did...

    I would be happy to test if you need a long bed. Soon to be retired from law enforcement so I'll have time to post and answer questions and it will come in handy while I'm remodeling my house. I also live somewhere with 4 seasons so I can try it out in all weather conditions.
