Really nice looking rig. I have a long bed Tacoma and have my tail gate off. Can you access your spare tire with the tail gate down. I don't believe I can with my 2005 Tacoma.
The real question is can you access you spare with the tailgate down and a flat rear tire.
I had just picked the camper up when the photo was taken so the tailgate was still on. From what I know the spare is not accessible with the camper in so relocating that spare out to a rear bumper will be be my resolution.
