have a 2006, 4wd, 4 dr, short box tacoma, and a finch. This leaves me about 5" "back deck" with the tail gate down.
So the goal is a 2 month long skiing road trip, living in camper some of the time, and in warmer places some of the time.
4 pairs of skis, between 2 people.
problem: Skis are all long 180-195cm, and with the short bed they fit in the bed, at an angle, just barly. no way they will fit inside the camper, plus I dont want the melting snow mess.
I Dont want the skis inside the truck for the same reason. No room, and mess.
Dont want the skis on the roof of the camper, as it make the roof much harder to lift, skis are exposed to road grime, visible to others, and hard to take on/off due to the height
My idea is a ski box, vertically mounted on the back of the camper? ANyone done this? only have it on the passanger side, as the furnace vents on the other side..
any other briliant ideas for locked, sheltered, long ski storage?
