Tacoma work truck.

I searched and couldnt find anything to specific to what im lookin for. i would like to know what you guys have done to your tacoma to use it as a work truck. pics would be good to.

 

I use mine to transport tools, I have a Uws bed box. Other than a bed rack, I can't imagine there are many other thing you could do.

 

Just cant decide whether i should switch to a full size truck. I am gunna be pulling stock trailers and cant decide whether i wanna do it with my taco or not.

 

Getting beefier rear springs is the best place to start, the stock ones can't even hold up to 400lbs.

 

I Guess it really depends on what your going to do to it and for how long..... there are a LOT of old american trucks for sale on line that you can beat the hell out of for a few years and then sell again for what you would spend on really getting down to work and adding some beef to the back end putting a full size rack and some solid tool boxes on....
These are not full size trucks....
with that being said I have had great luck beating and abusing both first and second gen tundras as work trucks but the v 8 makes all of the diffenerce in the world
good luck

 

I got Dakars and a Leer 100RCC commercial cap which has a reinforced roof and rack system

I carry about 250-300 lbs of tools with me

 

Well, i put new leaf packs on and am looking for a tool box now. I pulled a trailer the other day with only about 20 head in it and pulled it just fine. I think ill just keep the toy and eventually upgrade to a tundra after college.

 

I have a 2010 for my work truck, has a backrack, cross box and side boxes, all the boxes are full of tools, and i carry a lot of pipe and other material and it does fine, Ive pulled generators and compressors with it and it does fine. My personal truck it a 07 tacoma with a cross box and i have pulled a 18ft car trailer with my 91 toyota crawler on it and it towed it fine! I do have an add a leaf and a weight distribution hitch for that..
