weird mod on a 6ft bed (anyone ?)

hi

I was wondering if anyone has taken a 6ft bed double cab/frame and stuck a 5 ft bed on the back and "extra-extended the double cab in the additional foot available in front of the rear wheels.

The benefit of this mod would be to have a good-wide sleeping space in the 2nd-row if seats could be modified to fold completely flat. Not really looking for leg-space while sitting, in sitting mode, it could recline seats better and also allow for some additional storage in the back.

Has anyone seen such a custom-mod ?

So you are basically wanting to make a Triple Cab, wouldn't it be easier to just get an SUV?

 

I hear the new suburbans are really nice.

 

Megacab Tacoma.

 

Sorry,

 

I heard they are doing this on 4th gens.

TBF though... I have seen this done on 90's chevy's. One was in High School and they took a long bed then turned it into a 4 door. This was back when 4 doors trucks were RARE!

I have a sneaky suspicion the effort would not be worth it here. Especially with the way campers have been implemented in recent years.

 

Actually I am looking for a mini-van with the truck bed...

 

Call up Diesel Brothers and get one of these

 

Ladies & Gentlemen, I present to you: The 6 door Toyota Tacoma, with a MEGA lift.

 

Did.... Did that just happen?

 

I doubt a foot will be enough to get the seat to fold completely flat. Also you'd probably need to be about 4'10" to sleep in the back seat of the truck.

 

When you go full send so hard that whole "Truck nuts" & "small peen compensation" reverses itself and now you are the most hung mfer on the road in the entire state.

 

It would need so much body work and interior work that it would be a non-starter, IMO.

Sounds like you should get a Tundra Crew Max


The proportions of those things always look "off" to me

 

I kinda like it

Family has a Ram 2500 Mega cab. I can recline in the back of that thing. It's like a Bentley for Rednecks. I have seen A LOT of trucks like that up here in MT though... most are well over $100k easy and probably towing a couple million in gear too. But I'm weird... I like the extra big cabs even though I personally have no use for them. I'd just throw a bunch of subwoofers back there

 

Will this mod impact my MPGs?

 

"It's like a Bentley for Rednecks."

 

Probably not quite enough room, in this instance, but it made me think about a regular double cab, with the back of an access cab grafted on.
Wish I had the photoshop skills to see what that might look like!

 

What lift and what size wheels and tires?

 

if you have a double cab, that's basically what you have
