I was just going over the same thing in my head, BUT it is was it is... Just got to make that kinda money!😢 Love the Dove tail, hands down... Nice curves
Bowen Customs make a nice product, but this still has the same egress issue all regular bed systems or campers have, which is you need to get on your knees to get in. It needs an entrance 9" forward of the header. This way you could enter from under like a hive.
That was the original design but we proved that it was an incredibly inefficient way to make a production bed. There would be a very large amount of work to modify the frame of the truck and designing a usable receiver hitch would still be in the way.
@@TAVLLC Yeah, unfortunately they don't work. I've literally tried them all (in some cases more than once) and ensured they were put on correctly as well. They all triggered the dummy light. What I mean is an actual locking cover over the cap to not just make it more secure, but also give it a cleaner finish.
Pretty sweet. We need an Elon musk at Toyota, Ford, dodge or chevy.... start standardizing a useful functional bed... something like this from the factories than can be mass produced and lower cost. Trucks are already 65k plus. 80k plus if you go diesel.
I would love to get one of these beds!! I don't need to top cover. I need the bed with tool boxes!! It would be nice to put a chainsaw and recovery gear and extra tools. If I had one of these I could help people stuck on the side of the road!!
красиво сделано и много функциональных ящиков . в заводском кузове пикапа очень много места пропадает . невозможно повторить все кривые и плавные обводы кузова сделав ящики для хранения и очень тяжело решиться начать пилить красивый кузов )))
My biggest question is how does this affect the payload? Tacoma's aren't exactly 3/4 ton trucks and 1600 lbs get used up pretty quick with the massive amount of stuff that can hold
With every build that is going to carry weight in the vehicle the payload capabilities get addressed. The stock springs and shocks go in the trash and the appropriate spring rate and shock valving is built specifically to support the load it is going to carry. Other things get addressed as well. Differential gearing for tire size, tire size for better support of a heavier load, larger or better brakes and so on.
once your bed is starting to wear, these are a great option for replacement. But yes, if you will never utilize the storage or features, no need to purchase.
Puma 12volt air compressor is superior in my opinion mine is at least 5 years old now My dodge truck has 2 batteries under the hood red arch dc/ dc charger 2 100 amp hr deep cycle batteries under the bed with 3500 watt inverter
Hmmm. The oasis in this truck has more than double the hp and the max working psi is 200 as opposed to Pumas 135 psi. Not sure how that is superior. But I’m glad you like your compressor.
Tire are too far outside of the fender edges A - reason to get pulled over by hiway patrol B - side of the vehicle is going to be covered by tire spray
If you can't afford it then what's the point? Wouldn't the objective be to sell alot of them to max profits? I mean if it's a rich guy thing than it's just another cool internet thing.
For some it’s unobtainable and for others it’s not even a drop in the bucket. If you need something in life to support what you love to do then you’ll save the money it takes to make it happen.
@@TAVLLC saving started, since I saw the crawler bed and checked out the website. Do you have an idea what the topper bed weighs in that configuration but unloaded?
The hinges are plenty strong enough to do what is expected of them. If someone were to break one of those hinges then they are doing something they shouldn’t be doing.
Loved the new intro! Badass growth, you guys are always getting better! Congrats! The goat looks good in silver
Love this, can't wait to see 1 on a Gladiator! Already have an Alu Cab and this would be the perfect upgrade.
Very functional. Looks good. Thank you for some ideas. Good to see its from NM.
Like always very well played beautifully done be blessed
New into is 🔥🔥🔥
Nicely done. 👍
Outstanding!!
Nice beds but like everything "overland" way outside most people's affordability.
Nope
Yep
@@TAVLLC what do you mean "no"?
Very nice!!!
Thank you!
I want for my tundra. 😎👍
I like the truck bed works for camper and work truck
Cost more than I payed for the truck.
I was just going over the same thing in my head, BUT it is was it is...
Just got to make that kinda money!😢
Love the Dove tail, hands down...
Nice curves
Holy schnikes! That Oasis XD3000-12 compressor is over $2k
Fuuuuckk that is so good looking wow.

This is THE best product at Overland Expo West. Will this bed work on a tundra or is there a different size? I have a 2020 tundra crewmax platinum.
There will be a specific bed for the tundra. It’ll look and function the same.
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love this. Want to see a locking cover instead of just an exposed gas cap.
Thank you! This is the factory gas cap. You can buy a locking cap at any auto parts store.

Gotcha. This is the first prototype of the bed. The production version looks cleaner than this. A locking cover could be added pretty easily.

The bed and camper are two separate companies, you can get the bed as a stand alone piece that we can install to your truck.
@@TAVLLC
Yeah, that's what I'm looking for, just the bed.

Awesome product, will this be available for the 2016 Ram 1500?
It is!

Is converting a 5’ bed to a 6’ an option?
Theoretically you could extend the frame, but that'd be the only way to do that.
my same question
Build a Robotech truck
For 17k not bad but it it’s definitely an enthusiast product… I would still buy it if I could just find it to be practical for a daily driver

I don’t understand the crazy prices on aluminum flat beds for Toyotas. More than double the cost of a steel 8 foot skirted Dually bed.

These guys made a master piece this here is sexy af!!! I wish i could afford it for my gen 1 Tacoma. 😞

Those door hinges look suspect, weak in appearance.
