What a great build! A lot of great ideas built into this, and much better than most you can buy. Putting the fridge close to the cab is smart- weight is centered. Keep the trans lines hooked up to the radiator. It is important to warm up the trans fluid. When it's cold out, and every cold start, you will accelerate wear on the trans if you disconnect it.

For sure. Weight wise one of my goals was to keep as much of it between that axles as I can.

Thanks! That’s one of my favorite parts. Originally It was going to open rearwards or upwards. I didn’t like upwards because I wouldn’t be able to open it in a parking lot. I didn’t like rearward or sideways because it seemed like it would be awkward. Then a friend suggested down with steps like an airplane. Still can open it with a car parked in the next space but it’s worth while. The one downside is the stairs kinda get in the way of reaching for things in the camper and the camper floor would make a great worn surface. Hmmmm....this gives me an idea. Maybe make the door quick release? I’ll have tk thing about that.

Not much so far but I have dragged both rear corners of the camper a little. I’m planning on building a new rear bumper at some point which will have some more protection for the rear of the camper.

Great Build - I'm about to buy a Tacoma for solo overland travel going to Mexico & all points south. Do you figure you ever wanted to have or needed a 4 door instead of the Access Cab? Knowing the quad cab is a bit longer and heavier. Or are you just fine with the Access? Or a question to the host of the channel - If you had a built out box like the featured rig - would you prefer to do it on an Access cab instead of your quad? - THX

@OverlandUnderBudget 3 жыл бұрын

Thats a good question and i think for solo travel a access cab is the way to go. It gives you more bed space which allows for the weight to be better dispersed.

@TerryManitoba 3 жыл бұрын

@@OverlandUnderBudget THX - that is pretty much what I was thinking as well. If you have a dry cover over your box bed you need less cab storage. If you don't have the box covered you probably will want a DC for more dry storage. And I just don't like the looks of the DC.

If you don't venture too far off-road, minivans are excellent values, because you can simply throw an air mattress in the back (or make a more elaborately furnished build without needing to make the weatherproof shell). For soft-roading, many have AWD available, including 2004+ Toyota Sienna, Toyota Previa, pre-2006 and post-2019 Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth, pre-1999 Mazda MPV, Chevy Astro/GMC Safari, Ford Aerostar, among others.

Hey cool just ran into ur channel.. and what mark was talking about the trans cooler. YEP. DONT LEAVE THE COOLER HOOKED UP WITH FACTORY RADIATOR. Man I had a ruptured theater coil and what a expensive mess .. had t flush the whole system out because it mixed antifreeze with oil and YOU WILL DESTROY YOUR TRANS IF YOU RIDE LONG WITH MIXED ANTIFREEZE.? Be careful and if it's fine already. Please do yourself a favor and separate it ASAP. COOL VIDEO Keep Up the great work. ✌️✌️✌️✌️

Like he was saying, cold fluid is hard on a transmission - especially when below freezing. It also depends on how far a typical trip is - having the fluid warm up quickly is especially important when driving shorter distances.
