Do take an hour or so and get educated/read the site @SconnieTaco recommended.

 

Definitely worth the time! Very educational!

 

Definitely would make a nice sleep enclosure with netting. But with your height and judging from the photo, you would probably have to sleep in the fetal position. But it would totally be worth it on a warm night!

 

The "goalpost" on those is adjustable and can be widened, I think mine goes to about 48" wide. I can carry two kayaks easily, with one of them tilted on its side.

 

Basically it's about like a backpacking tent in length, a few inches at head and foot, something I use a lot so am used to it. Thinking maybe I could rig up something with a net like this. If it didn't work out, at least it I wouldn't be out much. I could also add one of the windbreak walls that goes on the 2100mm sides and really open up some space. I still have a lot to figure out but know that there are no rooftop tents in my future for the next few years at least.

 

I’m with you on the rooftop tent front; nothing like that in my foreseeable future either. Especially considering I just spent $2400 on a shell a few months ago. I’m considering an awning once I get some rails and a rack for the shell (got the shell with Yakima tracks). The RTT’s are expensive and we could just sleep in the bed under the shell when our tent is not the best option. In any case I hope the awning serves you well!

 

I'm with you Monterey man. I have a Leer XR on my DCLB and don't want a RTT (hit 57 yrs and you don't want to pee from the top of your truck at 2 am). I have a Thule rack on rails and want to find the best awning set-up I can find for my rig. Maybe get a Prinsu for the shell or just use the Thule rack to mount the awning.

 

Added a bead seat cover.

 

I haven’t seen one of those in quite a few years!

 

Have to keep it OG.

 

Applied my new bedside sticker by @CBoy808

 

Do you happen to use your Tacoma as a city cab?

 

If I had a long bed I would go that route myself. I used to camp in my ‘06 Access cab that way. Thanks I am sure it wil serve us well. I really like the ARB 2500 on our VW Eurovan too.

 

Thule rack sounds good to me too. An awning and a rack or cargo carrier is a good option!

 

Sweet! They look awesome!

 

I had one in the first car I ever owned. Brings back memories!

 

This one holds two. One of mine isn’t long enough for it. The 12.5 foot, yes. The 9.5, no. As someone else said , the back part widens quite a bit. This is at its narrowest setting.

 

I think my gaskets might be the same as yours. It's just that mine have flattened down more during the past year with all the weight added on top of it. The front cab panel gasket is not as flat as the tail gate panel.

You might also just need to adjust the locking rods and their respective brackets a little more to get a tighter closure/seal.

My DiamondBack cover doesn't look 100% square on top of the bed. It could also probably go forward toward the cab about 1/4"-1/2" more.
