Flat bed ideas

Has anyone made a flat bed for a 2nd gen tacoma? Working on rebuilding mine after rolling it and want to see what y'all have done

 

Going back and forth on flat bed or van camper...sub'd

 

Why put a flat bed on a mid size? You want hp and torque in order to carry junk.

 

My favorite home made one: http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/145395-Toyota-Tacoma-Aluminum-Flat-Bed

 

There is a flat bed on an access cab here in town I see now and then. Never seen anything on the bed before though.

Dude has a headache rack on it I think.

 

It just needs a headache rack now

 

@Overlanerd just got one on his.

 

especk's '10 Reg Cab OME 4x4

More pics in that build thread before and after that post. But the author sold his truck and isn't on TW anymore I think.

 

Headache rack seems like a no brainer for a flatbed I'd think. I saw someone with a red 2nd gen they'd turned into a flatbed in Cincinnati a couple months back. Looked ok.

Plenty of people have done the flatbed thing to the original Toyota Pickups. My friend and I are going to convert his '89 pickup into a flatbed soon.

@SMKYTXN has a whole lot of info that's been well documented to look through

I like the design they have with a drawer below the bed for storage that runs in between the frame rails. They do make a Tacoma bed too.
