Thanks everyone.
I can definitely see the phrase, "Pay to play" is coming into effect here. I guess realistically, even being into light/moderate 4x4'ing I won't regret putting a lift back on my truck, and anything I use to mount the RTT to the shell until the trailer is done can be resold...
Again, thank you Kermit. What you're saying makes a lot of sense. I really would be taking a big loss on the shell. Especially because the trailer would be a slow build, I could start it now and just accumulate funds as I go. Looks like another lift and a relatively inexpensive custom rack...
Kermit - Thanks for the opinion. I won't be keeping the shell AND doing a trailer, I would like to use some of the money from the shell to offset the cost of building a trailer. I definitely agree that learning fab skills is valuable and frankly it's just fun to build things.

So a quick rundown: I have a '12 Taco TRD OR 4x4 DCSB which is currently stock suspension-wise. I had an OME kit on it and because of concern for warranty issues, early suspension wear, etc. I took it off. That might have been a bad decision. I also have SnugTop shell with the Sportsman's...
Awesome build. I too pretty much want to replicate this with a few tweaks to suit my needs. While you mentioned almost all of the tube sizes you used, I couldn't find what the actual trailer frame was constructed from. Did any engineering go into the sizes you used, or did you just figure a...

I recently took my OME kit off due to a few factors, (dealer honoring warranty, excessive wear on other parts, vibes etc.) and REALLY miss the weight carrying ability that the Dakar's offered.
I reached out to Alcan and they said they can make me (for a...
Might be a dumb comment, but make sure to check your window sticker. Maybe it's different for different parts of the country, but I always thought the TRD Off-Road package included the tow package.

I am selling my reinforced Snug Top rebel (able to hold 500lbs on the roof) perfect for RTT. Fits the short bed and is Silver Streak Mica. Only a few months old, still looks brand new...
Coming along nicely!
In case you are interested, I have 3 Rhino Rack bars and feet that would be perfect for your application. I mounted them for literally 2 days then decided I wanted to go a different route. I had mine on my DCSB camper shell. All you would need to buy are the tracks that...
