In defense of the truck that I posted, pictures of the final setup below. Not what I would do, but if that's best for how he uses his truck, more power to him.

Hey - may not be a desert bomber, but it is a purpose-built Raptor and I think that's pretty cool.

Expedition truck? Absolutely!!!!

That was my thought process as well. The picture I first posted was of the flatbed when it wasn't done yet. Figured I should share the final photos to show what it turned into. Like you said, it's purpose-built. I'm sure it doesn't fit on the trails nearly as well as a Tacoma would, but he's got a V8, a Raptor, and something different. I think it's a cool little project myself.

I like the idea of an expedition Raptor, I was looking into the bed-tents at one point. The sticking point for me was my less than stellar mpg.

Looks like it could double as an ice cream truck. Just need to pipe some music through an outside speaker.

I'm building an Expedition Raptor. I plan on using it for when I PCS (hopefully to Alaska).

I don't think I would go to same extent, but I believe @dotcomrade had it right when he had this rack built.





Though I think a purpose built prerunner with an expedition trailer would be more in the direction I would go if I lived in Southern California.
