- 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!

*update, bed is approximately 280 lbs.

Dude WOW. This is the only Tacoma that has ever made me want to convert from my old Pickup/4Runners to a newer Toyota. SO sick.
Thank you for watching! This build is far from over 🙌
Check out www.bowencustoms.com to check out what Brent and his team can do. Also, thank you Brent for building this bed in the middle of moving your shop lol.
*Edit The weight is approx 280 lbs without the tent.
dude, they did an incredible job on that bed! thing is incredible, absolutely love that ya'll made it modular. Hell ya keep up the out of the box sick build on this Taco.
That’s crazy how light they were able to get that bed. It’s probably about the same weight as the factory bed but more utilitarian.
Absolutely sick, I can picture some tube tied into that 4x4 crossmember to protect the underside of tray, but man that looks good as is. I’d just be scared of damaging that work of art.
I kamper and Brent should do a collaboration. Maybe a limited production line with the icamper set up like this or similar.
S I c k
Coming from a retired fitter, them some damn fine welds!👍🏼
Thank you!
Our team is amazing!
You have the best channel when it comes to building... The rest pay people to install...
Thanks man! I love the process of doing it yourself, very satisfying.
Hot damn! I'd give my left one for that truck.
I watched an ad from ONX off-road with Nate as a host before I watched this video. Love the bed!
Nate your too modest. You produce magic in your shop
Much appreciated 🙏
When you first bought the taco I started watching to see what I could add to my own taco, now I just watch to see how crazy this build gets lol
Lol thanks dude
This is absolutely WILD. Looks deadly man, well done.
Badest tacoma out today by far. Excellent build!
Thank you🙏
Best 3rd gen build out there wow
I’d love that bed on my JT. It looks amazing!!!
🙏🏻 give us a call!
@@bowen_customs I did send an email. If I get time tomorrow I’ll give a call.
That hitch prolly the strongest point on the truck now haha
Dude that bed is so rad!!
Thanks!!
That Tacoma is sick looking
Awesome! I wouldn't mind one of those for my Ranger!
You gotta take this to Australia, do a trip with Ronnie Dahl!
We want to do an Australia trip soooo bad.
Speechless!!! Those Bowen guys knocked it out the park with that bed.
NOW THIS IS A GREAT TOUCH TO ANAWESOME BUILT. GREAT JOB GUYS!
Thank you!
@@bowen_customs I'm building a mobile diag and repair business and building custom rigs in free time so maybe some time in th next year or so ill hit yall up for a few different styles of setups for me and customers
That box is sick! The fact it's modular for replacing doors and panels is truely well though out. Well done
Thank you!!
AMAZING. The best bed ever. Seeing the Tacoma being built (endish product)- I so want one.
That is an impressive truck you have created. Don't doubt yourself sir. You could definitely build a bed like that. I have watched you channel since the beginning. Your skills are on a higher level. Wish that guy was in the southeast. That would be an awesome job
Much appreciated! Thank you for the kind words!
Dude this looks so dope. Expedition grade
Freaking awesome!! We don't need warranty where we're going.... Nice work man.
Truly unique Tacoma. So sick
Such an incredible bed. I love how you push the envelope and shape the future of the industry
A tray is endgame for my Tacoma, but I'm sure it is years out for me. This is the coolest mod I've seen on any Tacoma. This tray is SLICK AS HELL.
Thank you!!
Man that is clean. This build is ridiculously slick
Still the only CZcamsr that I'll sit and watch adds for... can't do half the shit you do, but I still enjoy watching. Living vicariously, suppose.
I can't thank you enough 👊 your support helps us in a huge way
Your insanity is worse than mine, i love it. Keep it up.
Lol thanks brother
That dove tail Suits that truck perfectly the box is amazing it looks way better than the factory box if u can fit your your frigid on the passenger side in side the box that would look sweet
I love how you hacked up a Taco that is still has a warranty. It better now then stock!
Lol
Best custom flatbed I have ever seen .....P E R I O D !
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Finally you boys are taking inspiration from the Aussie tray market
Damnit. Now I wish I had bought a Tacoma instead of a 4 runner. That thing is bad ass!
This has got to be the coolest build Ive ever seen.
I love this bed. It’s an overland ear that’s not over sized.
If I had a forest of money trees, I'd fab my Tacoma just like that.
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.
Thank you brother, I love the positive perspective 👍
What a super design.
That bed is SICK!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That bed looks great, both in design and fit/finish. Nice work Bowen Customs team!
Thank you!!!
That bed is absolute PERFECTION. *golf clap* I absolutely love this bed/RTT...
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Wow Nate. Looking GOOD! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really like this design this is an original thinker who owns the shop obviously has many ideas times has come.
Thank you!!!
Overnight success 20 years in the making 😂
Wow that bed ROCKS !!
🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
Damn it, now i want to do this to my first gen
Bowen Customs this an unbelievable job!!
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you!
Amazing bed. Functional, aesthetically appealing and looks all but indestructible.
That's awesome! Thanks for introducing us to Bowen Customs.... they're in my hometown so that's even cooler 😎
Best Tacoma build yet
This flatbed is fantastic; time to start saving some dollars.
Thanks!
That is a bad ass accessory. That Tacoma is going to be a beast.
Absolutely love this Tacoma. Can’t wait to see it on the trails!
It was killer the last two days! I'm loving this truck now. Great on the hwy and very flexible as a rock crawler/camping truck 👍
That tray sure suits and looks very well made and designed.
I like the tow hitch with the wrap around of the factory metal. looks great.
This build is the entire reason I just bought a 2022 trail edition tacoma! Love this build keep it going nate!
Thanks! Enjoy the truck 👍
Can't believe the change that taco has gone through...very cool sir
That bed elevates the truck to a class all its own. Amazing improvement to the departure angle!
🙏🏻🙏🏻
I would LOVE to do something like that (a little less radical) on my 2004 Dakota crew cab. Not a rock crawler but an over lander style. Something that could still haul a slide in truck camper.
Land Rover content has been your best content...
Nate reusing OEM cross member - still manages to incorporate "dimple dies" haha. Looks epic, Nate!
Lol thanks dude
@@DirtLifestyle you can never have enough dimple dies! Hope to wheel with you when I’m state side 💪
Lol
By far one of the coolest beds I've seen. And also one of the best tacoma builds I've seen in general but the bed just put it next level!
Thank you!!
That came out perfect, your fabrication idea and execution was brilliant!
That's an awesome looking bed with a huge functional component
This is such a next level dream build. Seriously on the edge of my seat to see what you do next, thank you so much for sharing it with us!
Awesome! Glad to see you are as pumped as I am! Lots of bug upgrades are on the way 👍
Hey Nate thanks for the note and lanyard!!! Keep up the great work!!!
No problem man! Sweet Jeep!
DUDE!!!! That is so darn cool!!! They did some amazing work on this. I am officially jealous of your taco.
That's nice form meets function great styling
Absolutely amazing Nate. The Taco keeps looking better and better!! Totally one sick build!!
That looks great. I'll never have the skill or tools to replicate the kinds of projects you do, but still find it fascinating to watch.
Holy cow! That’s the “flat bed” I’ve been designing in my mind for 5 years now…absolutely love it! It’s the perfect flat bed/Aussie tray combo👌
That bed is absolutely sick I might have to get one
Thank you!
Give us a call!
That is a sweat setup. One day I may get a custom 8 or 9 foot bed for my truck. I would need to cut the back of my frame like the Tacoma just because having that much frame sticking out past the bed is a bit unsightly. I am happy to see an American option for overland beds in the market.
This is absolutely sick, on a whole different level.
Glad to see some of the Americans taking the box look from the Australians. Those guys at 4WD 24/7 really take advantage of those boxes.
This reminds me of the PCOR tray beds, very cool!
Wow, that's truly incredible! I really enjoy this type of content you do! I know you like getting out and doing some actual adventuring; but this is just so cool.
This taco is getting rad man! I really dig that bed build, Kudos to all involved in this design & fab. 👍🏻
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Such a cool bed. I am in the middle of my first real "custom" addition to my dodge, and would love to see you break down more of your welding techniques/painting
Wow! Such a transformation from a year ago. Awesome stuff Nate.
this is such a sick build! amazed how far youve taken this platform. i love that you stayed ifs with it too!
Such a sick tray! I’m sure many Aussies will like this design and one day maybe I’ll get one on my 🌮 🤘🇨🇦 Can’t wait to see vids of this on the trail should do different updates on how the truck feels on the road/trail each mod you do
Man that is so awesome. Custom builds are the best builds.
I added a square tube to back of my 1st gen Tacoma but milled the top/bottom to side in between my frame rails then left frame a little longer and wrapped the corners🤘🏼
Amazing design on that bed definitely going to check out Bowen Customs.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Lets talk!
That turned out fantastic. Not just the bed, the whole truck so far.
Thanks man, I couldn't be happier and we are just getting started 🙌
that thing looks sooooo sick. can't wait to see it on the trail!
That bed is sick!
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Welcome to Colorado🤙 Enjoy some of the trails around.
Not many people would have the balls to to chop up the frame of a new truck, kudos to you for going all in! This is an awesome build with the Marlin Crawler front suspension and now this. Keep up the fantastic ocntent!
Needless to say this killed what was left of your factory warranty.
Killer looking truck was well worth it
Lol
Don't worry, someone will reach out to him about extending that warranty... 😂
Nice. If you see other CZcamsrs at the event, like Fab Rats, it would be cool to get your take on the vehicles they have built.
You should add straps to keep those doors from dropping low enough to touch the tires. If one of those rear doors opens and that corner catches a tire lug, you’re gonna have a bad day.
Sick build! Just passed you in Ridgefield and the Taco looks even more badass in person!
Im not much for flat beds or anything aftermarket for that matter and all I have to say is WOW that thing is supper sick looking and very versatile.
Thanks!
Looking good and exceptionally unique. Nice work from Bowen.
Thank you!!
He never stops amazing me with what he can do. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge.
Thank you!
Love the direction your goin with the taco. It looks awesome on camera, and no dought the camera doent do it any justice.
Wow dude! That looks mega! 😍 love the cubby holes!
Looks badass🤘🏼
