More Pics of the 'Pac
Entrance and the robust aluminum step up I sourced for this application.
Blank slate. Note the National Luna Power Pack placement for now.
Shell to cab pass through. Locks all face inward to the cab so this can be unlocked from one side rather than running back and forth.
This will also allow some music to be heard in the camper
Upper deck, all poles/hammock stowed in this shot. There is room enough here to sit and take off or put on shoes.
Full size bed. Mattress seems to be far better/thicker than my Eezi-Awn was.
Side view, cab/shell interface
Rear corner shot
Front corner shot

That looks killer Dave! Once you get some field time with it I would love to hear your impressions as it compares to your old RTT. I like my hannibal tent, but as I'm sure you know RTT's are not perfect. I'd love to find something a little more solid/secure for those extended jaunts away from the truck.

Congrats Doc, that looks very sharp on your rig !
Thanks for posting up the additional shots.
How thick is the mattress and is it a true "full" (54x75) ?
Can sleeping bags be secured to the mattress when flipping the top closed ?
Any plans for an awning and any kind of low profile rack (as not to obstruct the "flip) ?
Thanks for being the Tacoma shortbed guinea pig.
After seeing the way the ATFP sits on your rig I'm even more stoked to pull the trigger on one for myself !

Mattress is about 4 inches thick +/-, very plush compared to my old Eezi-Awn
Bags/bedding can be folded up but may not lay perfect, they could be bungied in place
Awning someday, no more racks for me

looks clean. color match is nice
could you snap a photo of the mounting points? & a side view the whole truck with ATFP?
Sorry for being such a pain but can you measure the overall height?
Pics coming, overall height is 7'2 (that's as accurate as I could get but if anything it's really a hair shorter)

Thanks Trevor!
So far it is a vast improvement in room and ease of setup/teardown vice the RTT
No solution is perfect though
