^ Soooooo clean! Love the tan top on white Here is our little project:

It's called the Pioneer Register and it was where settlers would sign their names as they traveled the road as early as the 1880's. It was the main thoroughfare before the highway was built in the 1960's. It's amazing to see the differences in height from the older writings that are now...

Apologies for neglecting this thread. We got busy...traveling. A few updates are needed and will happen over the next few days. We left Mexican Hat and turned North to drive the infamous Moki Dugway and to take in the beauty of Cedar Mesa and Bears Ears. The dugway is essentially a gravel road...

Bump as this is a pretty sought after combo of the handicap lift and the dmax. I wish this had been around when I bought my old 6.5.

Love this build. Any update on the suspension? Would you do it again? We have a short bus that we are debating on lifting and we are having trouble justifying the cost.

If you are in this rally or know someone that is, please respect private land owners. I know it is Baja and the wild-west so to speak, but cutting locks on gates in unacceptable. Had a group come through this AM, cut a gate and leave 200 PESOS. Respect the land please.

Looking forward to this one. Such a cool platform.

I know this is an old thread but is this still available ?

Still working on the Spanish, thanks for the correction.

New episode up showing the house that we are house sitting at and walking around the truck.

This is the driveway to the housesitting gig that we have for the next few months...enjoy!

We have been housesitting in the mountains and are really enjoying it so far, but that part that is kinda love hate is the road into and out of the ranch. It is 6KM of rough 4x4 trail and it takes roughly 40 minutes to drive one way. I took some video on the GoPro of me driving it starting at...

Yup! Not as extensive or up to date as yours, but it was enough to cruise the west for most of 2018. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/full-time-couple-in-a-short-bus.184765/

Such a cool build, just spent 2+ hours binging this thread. Found a few ideas and motivation for our short skoolie.

I spent much of the holidays wrenching on the 4runner to get it prepared for the 2500 mile trek to Baja. I replaced the following as they were neglected and needed to be done yesterday: Differential fluid change FR&R Transfer Case fluid change Transmission fluid change Replaced both CV shafts...

We finally got to work on the rear storage area. This are is important as we will be essentially living out of this thing on our way to and from Baja and while we explore the peninsula. The plan included a fridge slide out with an underslide for the Coleman stove as well as two drawers on the...

Thanks Nick! We have worked really hard to make it a super practical and affordable overlanding rig and it is working out well so far.

I think there is a difference between the vans and the cutaway chassis. I know for sure that the frame width is different. Would it be crazy to pick up a used military axle from the old 6.5 Chevy military truck and swap everything to the bus? Or is that oversimplified?

My wife and I have been full-timing out of our 2000 Chevy Short Bus since April and have only recently picked up a 4runner to take to Baja for the Winter while we make plans for the bus. While driving the 4runner I have noticed that living out of a roof top tent is not nearly as comfortable as a...
