Hey all,

Got a '96 x-cab for weekend warrior and utility duties.

Has anyone built a ute bed for theirs? Not a big fan of the Ute brand's design so I'm going to DIY.

The design will be similar to the Ironman 70 series crew cab custom bed but obviously setup for an xcab Tacoma. under bed storage, hoops setup for a tent, over cab platform for lights, solar panel and ham antennas.

The only mods I'm doing are 266/75r16 KO2s, truck lite led headlamps, ham radio and stereo upgrades. probably some foam cell shocks.

Some pics for a reference-

friend of mine's custom built bed on his FJ45
