Hello All,
I have been lurking for about a month and figured since I actually got some photos of the new truck I should finally posteepwall: . I bought my 07 Frontier SE 4x4 Longbed on Dec. 27th. I sold my 99 Toyota Tacoma KC when I found out my wife and I were having our first child. The King Cab just wouldn't work for a car seat so it had to go. I had added a fiberglass topper to it and had crafted a simple bed and drawer system for camping trips and was really bummed when I had to give up the Tacoma. That was ten months ago and my little girl was born six months ago. I had not bought a vehicle because I could not come to terms with not having a truck (I am just not a car or suv guy! I like trucks). I had to get a longbed because I like the option of stealth camping that a truck with a topper affords.
My wife and I like to camp, backpack, climb, backcountry ski/board and mountain bike; really my truck is used to get us to the trailhead to do one of those activities. That being said I don't like to park an extra mile from the trailhead because the guidebook says you need a high cleareance vehicle!! That is where the Frontier comes into play. I plan on adding some different tires and maybe the mild lift Articulate added and when funds allow some rock sliders and of course a topper and a bed in the back! Although this site has given me a lot of different ideas for how I will build it.
So thanks for all of the great ideas you have all given me for my TAV (Trailhead Access Vehicle)!
Here are two pictures of the Frontier posing in the Colorado snow and one of the bed and drawere I had in the back of the Tacoma.
