As stated above by somebody, my main concern would be where the cab and fiberglass camper meet. Welding on more mounts to the frame for the camper would not be much of a problem. The only solution I came up with, would be to use that flexible accordion material you see on like the extra stretch busses, or between the back and front of an ambulance, sourcing it might be the tough part tho.
I do already own a Tacoma. Its an 03 with the extra cab( no third door). So cutting into the rear of the cab, I would loose those folding down seats, if you even want to call them that lol.
I do really like the flip pac, I looked at a couple for a jeep comanche that I restored. My reason for eliminating those where the fact you still have to set them up. I know its only minutes, but I plan on ski bumming out of this truck and set up in below freezing, no matter how quick would not be fun.
I am a welder by trade so making something custom would def. be in the cards but that would eat into the recreation time. Not to mention the 6 week old son:av-7: we just had takes up a lot of time, in a good way lol.
I think my solution now is to find a used contractor top like the A.R.E. with the double barn doors on the rear. Build a fold door prison style cot and figure out a heating solution along with some type of cook up. I could cannibalize an rv/camper for that. The only other neg. would be the lack of a toilet.
I also keep hearing about some surfer that built a custom camper, but ever link I find says all the videos of it being built are removed???
I also love that chopper posted above but Id rather get my hands on an old Bell Huey. :smiley_drive:
