I would suggest keeping the wheel wells, since you are working with the stock chassis and stock placement of the chinook shell. The Tunook got away with a flat floor because it was mounted to a custom platform that was built on top of the Tundra frame which set the floor of the shell higher off...

I have not found any stress cracks in the shell or frame. The subframe is made from 1/4 2×2 steel, so it is very stiff and forces the suspension to do all the flexing. It has held up great.

It was a longtime ago and I cannot remember where I bought those fenders. I recall they are custom. I had to supply the measurements and they build them based off of that. I found the place searching the internet for custom aluminum fenders. I will do some digging through my old receipts to...

Congrats on your new chinook, I hope. The interior on this rig is just as it is shown in pictures previous in this thread. We did not mount a stove permanently inside. We prefer a Colman popup stove that we use 99% of the time outside. We could use it inside but we like the versatility. We...

I have an early telephone service bed box. I believe these came on 1940s and early 50s ford picktrucks used to service telephone lines. It is in really good condition and has a lot of the drawers that came with it originally. I have both of the round fenders that go with it. I originally was...

Updates?

I am selling two Industrial bed slide cargo carriers from Extendo Bed. The carrying weight is 1200lbs and it will extend and lock at it's full length. It measured 62 inches long back to handles, 49.5 inches wide with latches, and 35.5 inches high. It mounts to the floor with 4 bolts. Estimated...

This camper is mounted on a tundra frame. The original builder built a steel platform/frame on the tundra frame then mounted the camper on the raised frame. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/tunook-build-has-new-life.115353/

I am having an issue getting my pictures to load. If you want more send me a message with your email or number to text to.

I have not weighed it, there is not a real convenient place for me to get it weighed where I am at.

Nothing new but I thought I would share that I sold the Supercharger so the Tunook will not be getting a SC. After debating it for a while I decided it just doesn't need it. The 4.7 as is handles the rig great. I was also discouraged by the need to always put premium fuel in it if...

Jay I hope it helps you out somewhere along the way. I am following your build and look forward to seeing your progress.

I will have to reach out to him for some advice. So the Tunook may not get the SC after all. I have found the programmer or ecu that came with the SC I have will not work with my harness. It came out of an 04 Sequoia, and the Tunook is an 01. There are some differences. I think I could make...

I appreciate you bringing this up. I have read some of the posts about people breaking rods but I have also read posts where people have run them without issue. I decided it depends on how you treat the engine as to whether it will hold up or not. Toyota designed the SC to work on the 2uz, so...
