What Cristin loves most about her custom Toyota Tacoma is its dual nature. It’s a highly capable off-road vehicle ready for any terrain, yet simultaneously offers the cozy and familiar feeling of home wherever she travels. This blend is achieved through smart gear management and a well-thought-out layout.
Navigating gear storage is crucial for full-time road life. Cristin’s custom Toyota Tacoma build has evolved over time to meet these needs effectively. Starting with basic truck bed sleeping and bins, she progressed to a rooftop tent before landing on the current camper build-out. This iteration features ample, dedicated storage within the camper, ensuring every item has its place. To further maximize space in her custom Toyota Tacoma, Cristin implemented a rear seat delete in the cab. This modification created a platform for additional storage, now housing essentials like a fridge and storage totes, seamlessly integrated into her living space.

The highlight of this custom Toyota Tacoma is undoubtedly the DIY camper build-out. Cristin and a friend collaboratively constructed it in just two weeks during winter, right in a driveway. This homemade, one-of-a-kind camper shell is a testament to their resourcefulness and skill. Despite the stress of the build, the process was also incredibly rewarding, resulting in a truly unique and personalized adventure vehicle perfectly suited for life on the road.
