FS: 1st Gen Protops 100 Model Hi-Top Camper Shell & Bed Setup

SOLD.
Turn your truck into an Adventuremobile! Up for sale is my camper shell, fit on my 2003 Tacoma Extra Cab. It's 9" taller than the cab, and the interior space it adds is amazing. It's 10 months old, everything still in pristine condition. Carpeted interior, slide windows with screens, keys & locks, slide and fold down front window, led velcro lights on the ceiling.

I bought it for a PNW trip last October- it kept my girlfriend, 2 dogs & I warm at night. The carpeted interior provides serious insulation.


This setup is 5 star camping, I love it. But the time has come to move on as my interests are changing.

Will entertain partial trade offer, I'm looking for a front plate bumper: CBI or All Pro.

Located in Culver City (West LA). It's all coming off tomorrow- so come and get it!

 

What's the dimensions on the tool box? And I see your 801 # are you from Slc?

 

Toolbox is 41" wide, 20" deep & 17" high. I went to the U and lived in SLC for 6 years, it was a fun place to be

wow! .. this thing is RAD-TASTIC!

 

Thanks! I loved this setup.

 

Camper shell, bed and platform sold! Toolbox sale pending tomorrow.

 

Any chance you remember the original manufacturer of your shell? I have the exact same one and had the glass break on my while transporting a washing machine, trying to find a replacement, sick build, looks cozy.

If the OP is still on here...would you kindly share the dimensions of the bed platform, if you still have it?

 

I sold the platform/mattress & shell to another TW member over 5ys ago- don't remember who though. He was moving from SoCal to Louisiana.

I don't remember the platform dimensions. But the platform was tall enough to fit large rubbermaid totes underneath, and the sides rested on the top of the bedsides. It rested on the bedsides & only had the support pieces in the center. With a small scab on the support for the smaller portion of platform to rest on. It was super light & cost less than $40 to make in an afternoon. The depth was long enough, but short enough to still open the toolbox up front.

Here's what I have left of how I designed it:


Edit: we never had the jerry cans in there when we used it as a camper to sleep in. The mattress wouldn't fit, as it rested on the toolbox & the jerry cans were taller.

Also, the mattress was a folding mattress replacement for a fold out couch bed on Amazon, it was amazing. If anyone wants I can find a link for it.

 

This is super helpful, thanks!!

 

Yeah, if you can post the link here for the mattress, that would be helpful to the community (and me!) too, thanks!

 

Sure thing! The Full Size mattress fit perfectly in there & was very comfortable:
