  • 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.

    My favorite 3rd gen. Just brilliantly thought out. I feel like part of what has made this truck come out so well is how much patience has been taken with it and making these videos is almost like the ultimate version of going over the critical checklists that ensure nothing gets overlooked, because you’re literally sitting there explaining each step to your audience. From what your original plans were for this, to where it snowballed has been an impressive journey to watch unfold.
