Good advertising but...

I like it, looks a little heavy though.

I think it's great as a rolling advert, clever.

Absolutely

Nice woodwork but it looks heavy. It's like a fancy version of what all of us broke river rats used to do in the '80s to carry our boats.

He doesn't care about weight and it's fancy intentionally, it's a rolling advertisement for his company.

Classy rack!

They can be built lighter

Looks phenomenal!

A few years ago I had just come through Steele Pass in Death Valley and met an older couple in a 2nd gen Tacoma. They had a wooden, cabover camper in the bed, which the guy built himself. Looked as well built and as smooth as any artisan-made wooden boat. No doubt heavy, but a beautiful thing to see and done with a heck of a lot of skill.

Was it this one?

 

[F350joe]

Pretty sure that's the one!

Yours?

Not mine but I too once ran into an older couple with a handmade camper on a taco. They were in White Pockets, UT. Nice people, he put a ton of work into it.

I too saw a homemade camper on a taco, in Grand Teton Park. Looked a lot rougher than that, I was jealous though since I was dragging a 30' TT everywhere.

Here are a couple of pictures I've saved over the years, I had some more but I can't find them at the moment.

Yep.

Not too heavy, those beams are cut down to thin wedges. All the appearace on their faces, but about ~1/6th the weight, from the looks of them.
