Tacoma Truck Bed Project (Part 1)

I've been trying to find the best way to utilize the space in the back of my 2009 Tacoma for camping, hanggliding, and general use.

One thing I don't like is having to move stuff to get at more stuff, or move stuff to sleep and camp in the back of my truck on flying trips.

So, I purchased two 4 x 8 sheets of cabinet grade 3/4" plywood at Home Depot and got started.

I still need to reinforce the platform front, back, and middle to accommodate a heavier load, but so far I am happy with the path this project is taking.

The Tacoma truck bed really invites this kind of use with built in rails that allow for a 57" wide platform over the wheel wells, plus it was fun to use my old carpentry tools.

The area beneath the platform will have a slideout cargo platform from Cargo Glide (Model CG 1000S).



The cargo platform should arrive this week and I'll be posting "Part 2" at that time!



Bang!
