I have the same truck (T100 extracab) as you and am also building my platform. I will probably be by myself most of the time (it will be my primary residence for six months per year) but wanted to be able to sleep two people when needed. I think some variation of this set up could work well for...

I just bought a T100 with nice tall matching fiberglass shell. I'm going to live in it long term, so I'd like to get it lined with carpet. I'm not sure of the brand, but will most places that sell them do the carpet lining work? I'm nervous about trying to do it myself because I don't want it to...

Yes, it is awesome! You could eat off the engine. It has meticulous service records from the time it was driven off the lot in 1995. Every tank of gas, every trip written down in a little notebook. It's not quite perfect- it has a few dents, but that's exactly the kind of truck I was looking...

Someone asked about what i did with Pepe the 4Runner. He's currently on Craigslist... I had posted it last night for way too little money, got tons of calls, texts, and emails... had to call everyone back and tell them that "sorry, I realized today that it holds way more value than that to me...

This is Pepe, my beloved '91 4Runner (22RE). I believe the picture was taken on my 21st birthday, camped at my usual spot at Shadow mountain in the Tetons. I bought it eleven years ago when I was in high school. I've lived in it almost every summer since I bought it, and you can see the first of...

I've been searching for campers for my T100 since the flippac I was going to buy got sold out from under me. I don't have much money so it needs to be cheap. I saw this older pop-up Jayco yesterday and met up with the guy this morning to take a closer look. It's on a Chevy truck which is also...

I see... Wow, I really have trouble seeing how an RTT has any advantage over a regular tent you just put on the ground. I don't get it. As for me, when given the choice, I'll ******** outside in a hole any day rather than use a real toilet :)

Here's Pepe and me on what I believe to be my 21st birthday... parked at Shadow Mountain in the Tetons. You can see the first of many versions of sleeping platforms. It sure would be hard to sell this thing... not that people won't want it, but because I'm so attached to it! So who wants to buy...

What's an RTT? My 4Runner is a 1991, 5 speed manual SR5, 4 cylinder 22RE. I bought it when I was in high school over ten years ago and I've been everywhere with it. I absolutely love it ("Pepe" is his name). I just got new fuel injectors, timing chain, rebuilt head, valve job, spark plugs...

Thought I did. The seller and I had agreed that my boyfriend was headed over with cash, and the guy sold it out from under me :(. I'm pretty disappointed as this was going to be my home for the summer. I already took out a loan and bought a truck and am flying to Seattle to pick it up next...

Just like the title says... Approximate bed dimensions are 77" x 67". I am located I Bozeman, MT but am willing to drive just about anywhere in the Rocky Mountain west.

It does have some bodywork done to that side, and they obviously didn't match the paint too well, but I don't mind some cosmetic issues as long as the truck and engine are solid, which it seems to be. The bad news is that the guy with the flippac sold it out from under me :( The whole reason I...

Not exactly sure what he meant, but I bought a different truck. Been doing lots of wheelin and dealin today!

Thanks for the advice everyone. Ended up pulling the trigger on this truck instead: http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/4894564265.html The flippac is also in Seattle (as well as my boyfriend!), so this is a much more convenient solution. He took a look at it tonight and was very impressed.

I'm I the market for a T100 for the flippac I'm about to buy. I know there's a couple threads started about this already but I wanted advice on this one specifically. I've always wanted one of these trucks and thought I came across a great deal here...
