Howdy!! I just returned from a trip out to high desert country in western Texas and had a great time with my Tacoma and my lady and our pup.
We packed out stuff (both clothes and food) in Tupperware's, and strapped them down in the bed of the truck. I have a RTT that sits on a rack above the bed.
Our stuff got covered in dust!! It also is a PIA to get the bins out from under the tent when it is set up.
So, here is the quandary. How do I solve the issue of wanting more dust free space. I have a cap for my truck, but it isn't strong enough to hold the RTT and us. I also worry that the tent would be rather high up and destroy our mileage.
So... Those of you with Tacoma's, how do you travel and keep your goods clean? Is this simply one of the speed bumps in the road with a truck?
Did any of you run into the same issue and then change vehicles? A drawer system in the Land Cruisers look pretty sweet right now...
I am ready to really start modifying the vehicle but don't want to put good money into the truck to simply turn around and sell it for a closed body vehicle.(FJ, 4runner, Land Cruiser)
Current setup.
