Backseat storage complete
I have been using the new seat storage boxes for a couple of months and finally got around to finishing the project. These boxes have been one of the best storage additions to date. They are easy to use, move weight to the center of the truck and they really clear up...
Tried the Ice Mule small classic cooler and it worked extremely well. A couple of observations after a 4 day trip with the cooler.
1. It is very compact and folds up into a very small package when empty. There is actually an air chamber between the inner and outer "skins" which can be deflated...
I have no doubt that the Outback tank is a good piece of equipment and really the only viable choice besides CES. And you are right, the CES tank is big. But the fit is perfect and it does not hang down below other components. I had a skid plate built and the tank is still in service today...
Just sayin'
This probably isn't what anyone who has purchased one of the out-of-country tanks wants to hear right now, but Custom Exhaust is still able and willing to build tanks for you in the US of A. No duty, no shipping, no currency exchange, no customs, no parts-don't-fit, ****** issues and...
Larger tank
Transfer Flow makes an awesome plug and play large fuel tank for the Tundra. 46 gallons and fits beautifully into the frame. I have had it for over 20K miles and absolutely no issues.

Thanks for the kind words eaneumann.
The frame is made of steel with an aluminum bottom in the drop down shelf. I moved the frame before the drop down shelf was installed and guess that it weighs somewhere around 40 lbs. The tube diameter I used was probably overkill and smaller diameter tube...
Received the boxes from Adventure Trailers. A bit of a miscommunication on which way the tops opened, but AT made it right with a very significant and fair price reduction. In the end, it really didn't make any difference in the utility of the storage.
The quality was top notch. The fit...
Beautiful wheels! Did you keep the spacers or just get a different offset to avoid the rubbing. I am planning to put on 35's and waiting to see how your solution works out. Looks great!
Also, Arctica is doing a totally fabulous build. Take a look at what he has put together.

I think you are going to love the Tundra as a platform for what you are doing.
I have been doing s similar build, although the bed is for storage rather than a sleeping platform. For photos see:

Good luck...
I have a 2013 Tundra and there may have been some minor changes in the '14 model, but without some major engine compartment modifications there is no where to put a second battery in my rig. Plenty of room in a Tacoma, but not in a '13 Tundra.
Several people have put the second battery over/in...
Adventure Trailers will build a very durable tank (with baffles) in almost any size or shape. I had them build a large custom tank for the front of the bed of my Tundra that has survived without any issues for 10K+ off-road miles (including the Continental Divide this year). For photos and...
Rear compartment box mounting
Began to prepare for the arrival of the Adventure trailer built boxes. I was just not happy with the tie down solution and have several of AT's drawers and love the durability, quality and light weight.
Conveniently there are a number of places to use the seat...
Beautiful truck. Very well thought out and a very high quality build.
I have a '13 Tundra that I, too, want to put 35" tires on.

Do you have any shots of how much modification you had to do to fit 35"...
