Yeah, I'm still planning on building one but it's not really high on the to-do list right now. I have it 90% designed in my head. I really want to go with a hatch back style so I can access to the back. I also want it somewhat easily removable for different configurations. Actually if Bondo made one for the tacoma, I'd buy it (hint hint if you following this bondo).

However, this time of the year (winter), I'm not doing a lot of highway traveling with the truck, mostly a short commute to my day job. If we don't need the truck for highway traveling, I'll take the wife's Civic.

Hopefully this early spring will allow time to build my aerocap.
