    Like to learn about what axles you're using - that setup's rare.

    I swear I read somewhere that all they are tundra inners/shafts with a taco outer. Dont quote me on that though...

    I've read that the spline count on manual hub outers does not match with Tundra shafts, but then again I've read a lot of inaccurate things on here sometimes.

    Yeah basically. I DD the truck, so it was just more practical to have a full bed given the fact its not my desert toy anymore. I used to haul my camp gear/dirtbike out to the dunes and dune with it at night, but have since upgraded to a buggy. Having a normal bed brings a lot more usefulness back to the truck, I almost went back MT front too, but couldnt bring myself to do it... Ill probably end up going Canti sometime in the future

    Would be nice, when I get some free time I will do it for sure. Having a bed in the car is always a nice option, you can stop any moment in some place and get a sleep, if you feel tired. There are roads, or trips I would say, where are no hotels which are close to the place where you are, plus it's very expensive to pay for the hotel all time. The best option is to travel by train. My favorite trains are from db fahrplan, I always have a very good sleep when I travel with the, there is almost no difference than sleeping in your own bed at home.

    I am also traveling long distances in my car. To not lose my best option, I don't take too many things with me so that I can store them in my car. It is the only thing you can do so you don't lose your bed in the car. I did so when I was in France. I have made a list of places I want to visit in Simply France, and I had to get a car to see them. I got a car with a bed, but I had to take fewer things with me because there weren't enough places in the car for the bed and all the things I wanted to take with me.
