Tundra Loft/Carpet Kit Design for Road Trips

[August]

In the "road trip" thread, I was describing the carpeted loft I built in the back of my Tundra for storing lots of gear and sleeping on a plush carpeted floor in the truck (without having to re-arrange all the gear).

There was some interest in seeing this design so I have put together some photos and info on how I designed and built it. The info is all in THIS LINK (click here).

Here is what the finished carpeted loft looks like...

Hope this is useful!

Basically a homemade carpet kit!! Great job!! If I had a shell, I'd be all over your loft!!

The shell on your truck outlines the look of the truck perfectly, and seems real high quality. What brand and model did you get, as I am looking to add a shell to my truck also!?

Thanks for any info!

I think its a Snugtop xv shell. It looks pretty much identical to mine. After almost a year, I have no real complaints about it, and you're right - it does match the lines of the truck beautifully. Good looking truck, August!

It is indeed the snugtop XV (nice call breakmark, escpecially since I had the shell shop remoive the snugtop sticker on the back window!). It fits great and has worked well since I tightened some screws on the rear window latch mechanism.
