Looks to me that it's an FWC that won't overload a Tacoma. My experience with a Ranger II on a Dakota taught me not to overload my truck, especially for those Baja backroads. Sealing the dust out would be good. Also 9 grand for basically a shell is a little high I think.
It's about ~3k higher than what many Millennials are spending on a rack scaffolding and a RTT (not to mention all the other bolt on farkles that they eat up like candy) so not too much of a stretch. A equivalent OVRLND starts at 10k and is even more bare bones.
It's all about the pros and cons of each setup. Over the years I've evolved from an 80 series LC with a RTT, to a shell on my PW where I could sleep in 1/2 the bed (and pack and unpack crap to do so) to a Hawk with minimal movement of interior gear that is dust free.
I would not go back.
Next up is a tray with a flatbed FWC or equivalent. The current slide in has significant limitations on organized storage, especially when it comes to dirty camp items and other gear needed for serious off-roading. The less time you spend on setup/teardown the better.
