Let me know what you guys think
I think it makes me sick because I want it so bad!
I was thinking a half rack and RTT mounted just below cab height, but It would be great in any configuration.

Any chance you have any pics of the interior laying around? I am definitely curious as to the amount of room behind the front seats (I have seen a few grainy/far back pics, but no good ones).
And I hate you.
WOW looks huge.
Time to put my tacoma back to stock and sell it
Thanks for the feedback guys, appreciate it. I've never owned a vehicle that was a "color" before. Always had white black or gray. The red was a big step for me but I really like it now. Easy to find my truck in the parking lot and I think it lends itself to the sports package well.
Well you already answered the length question so I'll tell you my experience with the turning radius as I don't have actual figures.
I can easily pull a uturn on a 2 way street between the curbs, pulling into or backing out of parking spaces is a breeze, when I go camping I can follow my buddies FJcruiser through the trees and around stumps etc as long as I'm not too wide.
The room behind the seats is awesome. I'm 6'3" and I drive with the seat scooted all the way back and if I recline it all the way it's just enough to be able to take a nap. The space behind is enough to toss your gear back there if you don't have a topper. I routinely have my 95lb dog jump back there and he's able to turn around even thought the seats are all the way back. Also a neat feature ( don't know if the split bench has it or not but the bucket seats do) you can fold the passenger seat down and it has a hard plastic back to set paperwork or a laptop or something on. Also the center console easily has the most room I have ever seen. You could probably fit a couple 12 packs in there with room to spare, no joke.
Here are some interior Pics for those of you curious. It's dark and the truck is a little dirty so they aren't the best.
That little door you see towards the back is where the factory jack and tire iron etc. is located.
And here is the new Topper:
It has the side win/doors and the sliding front window. The color doesn't look right in the pictures but in person it's a perfect match. Got it used from a dealer for $450 out the door. All I have to do next is build the sleeping platform.
Oh and by the way 18seeds, small world but I think you might be the same guy I just sent a message to over on TTORA about your sleeping platform. I saw the thumbnail pics when searching on google of the one you sold earlier this year, but I can't see the full size ones when I go to look at them on the message board. If you still have the full size pics of the storage/ sleeping platform that would be a huge help for me in making mine since I would like to copy that design. Thanks man, appreciate it

Man I wish they made that. Would have been high on my list of used trucks when i was looking to buy. I briefly considered a 1-gen RCLB, but couldn't bring myself to drive one!
