One Of A Kind Toyota Tacoma Crawler Bed! Ultimate Toyota Tacoma Episode 9.

Let's mount a one-of-a-kind rock crawling bed in our 2021 Toyota Tacoma!
The departure angle on this truck needs A LOT of help... Let's fix it! First things first I want to cut 18" off of the back of this truck and add a super beefy crossmember. Then we install a first of it's kind bed that is light weight, improves ground clearance and takes our build to the next level!
Want an even crazier 3rd gen Tacoma build?.... This is just the beginning!
Enjoy the video and if you are interested in a custom truck bed make sure you check out www.bowencustoms.com
*update, bed is approximately 280 lbs.

Dude WOW. This is the only Tacoma that has ever made me want to convert from my old Pickup/4Runners to a newer Toyota. SO sick.

[@billybike57]

Coming from a retired fitter, them some damn fine welds!👍🏼

[@bowen_customs]

Thank you! Our team is amazing!

[@Desertfzz]

Hot damn! I'd give my left one for that truck.

[@dontask7898]

Badest tacoma out today by far. Excellent build!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you🙏

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you for watching! This build is far from over 🙌 Check out www.bowencustoms.com to check out what Brent and his team can do. Also, thank you Brent for building this bed in the middle of moving your shop lol. *Edit The weight is approx 280 lbs without the tent.

[@BeaverThumper]

dude, they did an incredible job on that bed! thing is incredible, absolutely love that ya'll made it modular. Hell ya keep up the out of the box sick build on this Taco.

[@nguyenchester]

That’s crazy how light they were able to get that bed. It’s probably about the same weight as the factory bed but more utilitarian.

[@loganerickson7622]

Absolutely sick, I can picture some tube tied into that 4x4 crossmember to protect the underside of tray, but man that looks good as is. I’d just be scared of damaging that work of art.

[@yourejustintim]

I kamper and Brent should do a collaboration. Maybe a limited production line with the icamper set up like this or similar.
