Man! I would love one of these. I do have a Toyota Sunrader 4x4 that I am slow to fix up but works now. Great job!

Who are you trying to empress ?..... Well I'm certainly one! Nice job, nice video, nice country. Man that was a lot of work to build but the rewards are priceless. Thanks for sharing and happy trails. OTC.

Awesome truck! Love the ferry and crawling shots, great soundtrack as well.

Absolutely love it ! I have a VW syncro with a locker for backwoods camping but always thought the chinooks would make a great expedition rig.

@BugOutVehicles . I ve learned a lot during this build and plan on applying what i ve learned to my next version.

Great video, great rig.

Oh man I love this. I also checked out your page to show more of the build. No shower though huh? I'd have to have toilet/shower stall. Can be done still if say. Change that thin closet to a shitter shower. I have a 2008 Tacoma I'd love to tear up and reform a back camper to. It's a quad cab but I'd utilize the back seat space as part of the camper I think. You got an awesome truck. Love the pass through btw

@cbarsonfire Thanks. Before this was the 4X4RV it is today it was my stock 1980 hilux 4x4 longbed . What a little goat, I remember taking up ATV Trails here in the Kootenays. Its a little under powered but slow and steady and you'll get there and more importantly back!

Very nice. That little truck can go places that my 2500HD will not fit . There is an advantage of a short wheel base.

awesome I will build one one of these before I go. very cool man !

Cool RV/truck, great scenery, awesome video. I loved it.

A Toyota pickup, regular cab, longbed from 1979 to 1995 should "fit" . Myself I prefer the first generation 4x4 cab style.1979-1983. But even out of those I like the 1979 to 1981 with the round head lamp assembly the best. I like the fact that mine can be fixed in the middle of nowhere with a flat blade screw driver, crescent wrench and a couple zip ties. The 20R engine is gutless but bullet proof. I don't think my 1980 would work for everyone. Some people may want something more comfortable.

I used the factory bed mounts with about 3.5" of spacers to get it up the the right height. The Chinook has a plywood floor that was drilled to fit those mounts and bolted through. the 1980 mounts were a slightly different pattern then the 1976 it came off of. I also added 2 mounts off the frame as close to the cab as I could get them. The next I make will be different though. I'll make a aluminum frame on the Chinook body then bolt it to the chassis.

very cool 4x4 house - i have a hilux mk3 single cab - i would love to find one (mega rare in the uk) nice to see you using a toyota off road. subbed thanks very much for sharing :)

*Awesome*

SWEEEEET....Donner...Party of one??? Remember...Tuesday is Soylent Green Day...YUM!

Wow! I just was stuck in the woods of Maine with my 78 Toyota Dolphin shorty. Almost had to be rescued,because my friend couldn't find me. I found this by doing a Google search for a 4x4 Toyota camper to post to my friends who re page :) Amazing!! I want it! Where r u located, since I have no money, I need to come and steal it!!

Nice build.........I wish i would have run across a 4x4 model before i found my ol 83 Dolphin

British Columbia, Canada. I live about 7 miles north of Idaho.

Awesome build! You haven't posted in a while. What have you been up to? We need more chinook 4x4 videos!

Does the camper shell bolt onto the toyota truck frame using the factory bed mounting points?

Would you recommend the early 80's 4x4's as the best 4wd chinook option? I've loved this project, I can't wait to see your next one!

@ManOfWealthnTaste 1980 toyota pickup 4x4 base model. 20r 4spd

thats gotta beDonner Summit vale... I recognize that tunnel...

I never saw one in 4X4, did you get a camper from the 2wd model and scab it onto the 4X4 truck? if so, smart play.

What about a v6 upgrade ?

What state is this?

i oweded 2 chinooks a datsun and a toyota both were 2 wd
