My mom gave me a86 Toyota 1 ton dually w tag axle motor home. Incredibly slow it was, took miles to get up to 60 mph. Incredibly clean though

That's what makes this a cool build. I saw the Toyota Tacoma version of this at the auto show in NYC. I think Toyota could pick off van buyers if they made a factory version of this one. Maybe hire this guy as a product developer.

I remember when I was a kid in the 1980s, you had to import the Toyota RVs from Japan and Europe. This Overlander looks incredible. If Toyota were to build something similar to this, Toyota would dominate the Overlander market.

Wow great job. In 1986 I flew from Anchorage Alaska to San Fran and then traveled to the Sunrader factory in the Napa Valley and picked one up and drove in back to Anchorage up the Alcan Highway. Great little camper.

This is a really cool remodel. In the late 1980s, my parents almost bought a used Dolphin (probably a 1986). It was being sold by an older gentleman near us, and it was in pristine condition. While that 22R was a solid motor and there are so many stories of people turning over the odometer more than once, my dad felt it was underpowered for the hills. My parents wanted to go across the country in it, including through the Rockies.
@CThomasBeer10 ай бұрын
I had a new ‘85 Toyota Dolphin, and crossed the country in it four or five times. I had it for 4 years, wish I had kept it. It did lug down in the mountains, but interstates are made such that I seldom had to downshift to make the grades. It was a manual shift, so was better than the auto transmission.
@Mike-012349 ай бұрын
I had a 1991 Toyota 4x4 pickup had a 22RE when I bought it had 200k for $3000 on it I drove it another 120k. Engine had some bad oil leaks ran good, so I did a engine swap with a remanufactured. The one I got was not as good as the original. I should have just resealed the engine and kept driving the old engine. I sold the truck in 2015 for $3000 same price I paid for it.

Very clean build. Perhaps a little too high as far as driving convenience goes but that's just my opinion. The fact that you used a molded fiberglass shell says a lot. Doesn't get better than that. To say this politely, this puts pretty much every production unit in this class to shame. I certainly hope the work involved in this project was actually marketable. Bravo!

Right, too top heavy for real off roading and would be a dog up hills, especially with dually wheels and a 3.4 with 160k on it. Reliable motor but not suitable for that weight imo. Check out the Toyota World Runners channel. They look like they may tip in theirs doing some intermediate trails and its a smaller, shorter rig than this one.

Yes, it does get better. Carbon fiber is lighter and stronger.
