    Alaksan Camper 8' CO Cabover early 70s time capsule

    Last person who bought a camper from me ended up spending a night in guest bedroom, we fed him breakfast and drove him around while his airbags were installed. He is keeping us updated about his travels now with pictures. I am not the guy who screws with people. From your post history I don't...

    Alaksan Camper 8' CO Cabover early 70s time capsule

    Location is Albuquerque, NM Just so everyone is clear, this is my 5th Alaskan Camper, so I know a thing or two about them. I have never had one that old and that solid, usually top half bottom structural wood is gone on these (leaking pirelli seals) not the case here - it's good. You bring up...

    2007+ Toyota Tundra long bed vs short bed for overlanding

    Wow the thread grew a bit! I have forgotten my Toyota loyalty and started looking for used 3/4 ton trucks. And the more I research the more confusing it gets. What I am looking for: 1) Quad cab with 4 real doors 2) Long bed 3) Automatic (so wifey can drive it but it's not the most important...

    2007+ Toyota Tundra long bed vs short bed for overlanding

    Thanks all for reply. I have an outfitted FZJ80 with platform/drawers/queen mattress which works for summer camping/more involved offroad. I was trying to stay brand-loyal but after further research it seems like it wifey wants comfort of a larger camper we gotta go with something domestic and...

    2007+ Toyota Tundra long bed vs short bed for overlanding

    I was wondering why there isn't a ton of pictures of Tundra's with Alaskan camper installed... Seems like a perfect combo. Are there other options for hard side camper that is lighter than Alaskan? Or the only reasonable way to go it pop-up. I have been always skeptical of them for cold weather...

    2007+ Toyota Tundra long bed vs short bed for overlanding

    Time to upgrade our camping experience (not really, I am still keeping FZJ80) but after we had a sleeping platform in cruiser and our best friends scored an Alaskan camper  :drool: her mind is set on a slide in (8' Alaskan ideally, but used ones in decent shape are hard to come by...)...

    Toyopet Stout RK45 1962 Build

    Donor car chosen! I was contemplating for a while what will be a good, modern chassis for the overland project like that. The first choice was 2005-2015 gen Toyota Tacoma, since the wheelbase is identical. But at the moment there is no way I can afford it. So after re-visiting the options and...

    Toyopet Stout RK45 1962 Build

    hmmm... it actually makes a perfect sense. The cab of RK43 which i will be using (since original RK45 is rusted beyond repair) is 2 inches longer, and rk45 wheelbase is 110", FZJ80 wheelbase is 112". The only thing I'm worried about is track width. I would like to keep the stock look as much as...

    Toyopet Stout RK45 1962 Build

    Quick update on the project. Parts rust-free truck came in from Texas. Guy lowered the price substantially after I explained why I need the truck. Came with good windshield (impossible to find, guys buy these trucks just for windshield sometimes), supposedly running 3R. new carb etc. Also got...

    Toyopet Stout RK45 1962 Build

    Thanks! The fact is that original R engine (not 3R, not 8R just "R") is 60hp and I haven't really looked at it yet. RK45 is a 1.75ton truck. When they imported these Toyopets to Australia, companies who used them replaced engines with v8s since it has issues carrying loads uphill. So I am...

    Hi, my name is Ivan and here is my story (I am not sure where to post it, but since it will be a build of expedition vehicle I will leave it here) Couple years ago I ran across an eBay listing of RHD Toyopet Stout single headlight truck I never seen before. And with the help of my wife's...
