I’m going to go ahead and get this out of the way
Wow....
Your attention to detail is stunning.....
This thing is just perfect....
Excellent build....
Now I’m just going to sit back, enjoy this thread and drool. Cannot wait to see what you have planned but I’m sure everything I’ve already said applies.

Thanks, we are exited to get going on the project as well. We recently moved and I'm spending most of my time trying to finish out a small shop/garage that was already on the property so I have a place to work. Getting close to having that project finished and should have all the walls up this weekend, will make a small space to work soon

I love your work. I noticed this is dad's build. Do you have plans to build something for yourself?

I snagged a one owner low mile (74K) 1st gen Tacoma, 100% Stock. Going to concentrate on my fathers build for now.

Way cool. Get it!
Would it be possible to keep the sleeping platfrom extended and add a 3” memeory foam mattress to the existing mattress? Can you leave sleeping bags laid out? Pillows? Glad your in another build

I believe there is enough space to leave bedding on the bed when closing the top...I'll check and let you know for sure.

Not a lot of progress on the truck lately since I've been concentrating on getting the shop set up after the move. We did manage to install the new suspension on my 1st gen this weekend. The original suspension was completely shot...it had the limpest springs this side of a screen door! I ordered up an Old Man Emu setup with Dakar springs....these should do the trick.
Installing the new suspenders... Ignore the pickle fork, it wasn't used (I hate these things).
Assembling the new springs and struts. This is the best spring compressor I've ever used, takes the danger out of playing with springs
Good time to clean and re-grease the manual hubs.
Rear Dakar springs & shocks installed, extended brake lines installed and brakes bleed with fresh syn fluids. Truck drives & handles soooo much nicer with the new suspenders. Now to get it aligned.
Hope to get some work done on the camper soon.
