Ford ranger ARE DCU on 1st gen Tacoma

Hey guys, I really liked the usefulness of an aluminum contractor shell but wasn’t able to find one locally. I looked around at truck bed dimensions and the ranger is a pretty close fit so I went for it. I had to make a mounting bracket which made up the ~2” length difference.

 

Nice.
I thought of getting one in the past for camping. The shelves on the side would be great for a mini galley. The backside could be used to mount other things: LEDs, fold-down shelf, hooks. cargo netting, etc. Or even closing off one half from the outside, and making it open to the inside of the bed. Many options to do with something already built in.

 

Hi. I’m doing the same thing.
Could you say something about the bracket you made or maybe post a picture

How do you attach it to the bed

Thanks!
