    Howdy everyone,

    I own a 2003 regular cab long-bed tundra. I have had it for a couple of years and love it, but the one things that it lacks is 4x4. I have gooten stuck enough times to know that I need a change based on the activities I like to do. I have done some research and the only thing I would trade my current truck for is the some one but 4wd. How rare are the 1st gen single-cab long-bed standard trucks, do i have a chance of finding one?
    Thanks

    p.s. thoughts about the t100?

    Took me quite awhile... IMG_1119.jpgIMG_1118.jpg IMG_1515.jpgbut it was worth it. T100s are awesome. Designed and built by Hino. :thumbsup:

    Theyre not too common, but theyre out there. the t100 is a solid truck unless you live in the rust belt. theyre damn near extinct up here from the rot.
    my 05 v8 4x4 is a hoot, and factory LSD makes it even better!

    I’ve never seen one for sale around here. Option 2 would be find an Access Cab 4x4 and build a custom long bed on it.

    Yeah where is the hunt going to end up?
    I might be getting rid of mine soon or that was the plan when I got the newer one at least?

    I really dig that camper shell! Every time I see it, I show my wife and tell her this is exactly what we need! She's almost convinced! :thumbsup:

    Thanks and I feel the same!
    I got a more standard one for the new truck just because finding one cheap for a long bed tundra is impossible regardless of style really so I sort of went for the first workable thing that I thought I would find but......

    I am not at all sure that I can make one work that does not have the French Doors on it?

    I am trying to build out the bed taking that into the design but with the height of the bed and depth of Tailgate of the new one I can not figure out how to get it going really without a Bed Slide of some kind and I have never been a big fan of those either.

    So I will probably just wait a while and order a brand new one with rear doors of some kind and maybe even a better color match just to be crazy.
    The only issue as always is the money.
