    Only thing I really care to do. I'm trying to be a "camper", not a "crawler" :D

    Don't get me wrong, I have no complaints with my truck.....but if I had it to do over......I would have gone T4R and still done the trailer. I just don't use my truck like a truck....which I know isn't what Tacomas with composite beds are for anymore.....so I guess that's a wash :rofl:

    I wouldn't have. The Tacoma is just more versatile than a 4runner. You can turn the bed into anything. Ive been debating on building a wedge camper.

    I’ve found a few that have piqued my interest. American Racing, Foose, and a few others have spoked designs I like.

    My truck bed has been empty since I took the camper shell off. That's why I say I would have bought a T4R given the chance to do it again. And I'm pretty sure my next vehicle will be an SUV since I have trailers to haul stuff.......cause the mower/motorcycle isn't going in the back of the truck anyway :rofl:
    I'd honestly like to see a lowered Tacoma with bigger wheels. Most of the time when they have bigger wheels, they are squatted......now that's a style I just can't understand.

    V2 I think. I’d probably night bullet and pay go fast campers for the tent fabric. They sell em already made. It’s like $1k I think.

    Those clamshells are cool, but I prefer the pop-up style.

    I like the OVRLND Camper

    And the AT Atlas

    The KTM 390 Adventure has a top speed of 96. Cycle Specialty had a 2021 for $5400. Might be something to look into

    These have a few mods, but will give you an idea of what they can look like :D

    These are from France and Denmark, but all that stuff is available in the US too.

    KTMs have a unique look to them. I’d love to have a Duke, but I need something more affordable.

    Dang! We had heard that it had gotten better. Haven’t been since high school spring break. Thought we would change it up. We usually do Destin or Pensacola.

    Check out Cape San Blas, it’s an awesome beach. You can drive and build fires right on the beach with a permit.

    I've had a few slammed trucks before I was right there in the height of the mini truckin' craze.
