this is my logic. the truck had a 4000 lb camper unit on the back. NOTHING will make this thing bottom out.

Nice, my Toyota friend and I talk about making our trucks into duallies, not seriously though.
But it wouldn't take TOO much to make my 4Runner into a dually, don't you think? Anyone done it? Just for the novelty of it I guess. I've seen Suburban duallies, part of what gave me the idea.

There are 3 basic codes to determine a tranny...
1st. If you see a bulge around the neck......suspect a tranny
2nd. If you see a bulge between the legs....suspect a tranny
3rd. If you see a bulge in both places......suspect a tranny

4th. If you had recognized all of this, and still continued........well more power to you!

Sorry, I could not resist. Nice dually by the way

Dude! Sweet build. I've been thinking about picking up a 1 ton and doing a similar transition. Now you have me looking for a Toyota stuck under an apostasy of a motor home shell.

I wonder if an Aussie would hold up to duallies? That would be a pretty mean little package with a prerunner-style lift in front for clearance, some nasty 28 or 29" tires, and a locker in the rear. Talk about a wood-hauling beast, or a capable ranch truck. Oh yeah, a dump bed would be pretty sweet-too.

I had more money before I read this thread- now you have got me thinking about spending it. Nice truck!

Very nice! I'd love to have one of those, just to have it, but I'd like to swap an extended cab on it, and like a lot of others have said extend the sides of the bed out to match over the wheel wells. Nice headache rack btw.

You're dreamin'!

Ain't no way no 4Runner's gonna fit on that bed. Like he said, it's perfect for an atv/utv though. Even a big one of those would probably fit on it nicely.
