About This Build
A minimalist truck camping build in a Toyota Tacoma short bed. Uses an overland bed rack for sleeping on top of a storage drawer system. Perfect for weekend warriors who want to camp without a tent. The setup packs down completely so the truck looks stock during the week. Built on a <$2,000 budget over a few weekends.
