Love your thread over on Tacoma world. I'm interested to see what changes you make during the transition to an over landing rig. Perhaps I'll be fortunate enough to run into you some time.

It was actually because of your thread that I picked up some sliders from Marshall at Sawtooth. He told me it's the last set he's going to make.

been a while since i've updated this page... build list has been updated in the OP. the latest update:

GFC Platform Camper...

62c52de334685c8ddd96633ac2a36ad1552c21ff_2_666x500.jpeg


so far just have it mounted up and a good jump on sealing up the bed... KB Voodoo rails installed for a better mating surface to the bed. Prinsu rack cut above the back doors. US Cargo Anchor Point in the rear for my pull down strap.

Bed rug came with the purchase along with interior LED lights and rear hatch light with strut switch. Has front and rear windows, wind skid, 6' awning on the other side and the grey space frame.

Looking to have my maxtrax on the roof rack next to my road shower. spare tire will go on the dual swing arm setup i'll get in a couple months...

The rest of the build up is in the works... try to keep the permanent bed items to a minimum but i do need a new home for my recover gear and spares that were on the roof...

Most likely will cut in a fan in the spring as well to help with any condensation/ventilation since we'll have 2 humans and 2 degs in the camper.
