Re: M416 Trailer Build
That looks awesome! It makes me wanna start a project like that!
Not to go way off topic, but did you get that topper for your Tacoma from the dealer, or did you buy it from a Leer dealer? Did it come with that basket up there? I'm planning on getting a topper for my truck from Leer, and would rather have a basket then just the rack.

Re: M416 Trailer Build
Jimmeh, thanks, it has been a fun and very useful project so far. I use it for work quite often, as my work truck gets really bad gas mileage. So now tend to use the work truck to get my tools and tile to the job and then I'll use my 4runner to commute for the length of the project. Sometimes, I'll grab the trailer if I need to haul some stuff, for example, I had 1100 lbs. of thinset in it the other day. Didn't phase it at all. I guess I need to get some work done on this thing so that I can update this thread. I have been useing it for camping though. Since the June lake trip, it has seen two weekends out at the Oceano Dunes. For Surf n Turf, I actually bombed around the dunes with it for a little bit and at the 4runner Jambo, I took it on the trail ride, so even though I am no where near finished, it is completely useable.
As for the shell, we did get the shell through the dealership (it's a long story and we ended up with a leer rather than a snugtop). I am happy with our leer although I do need to pull it off and add another weatherstrip to the front as it leaks. This is because the newer tacomas have the front slightly lower than the sides.
We got the leer with the yakima tracks and crossbars. The Thule MOAB basket we already had (it normally resides atop my 4runner) and we just switch it over to the Taco when it is time for a trip. Otherwise the only thing that is on top of the Leer for everyday driving is just the yakima tracks for a nicer streamlined look.
