Carl, check out this "How It's Made" episode. It may help you on how the original construction is done. We gotta come over and check it out sometime!

Here's the same setup as used on the trailer. The blue hose is the water line coming from the 40 gallon tank hidden between the wheels in the basement of the teardrop. The Zodi Hut is huge when setup and perfect for hot showers.

That is the coolest looking Little Guy teardrop ever. Nice that the video shows how much you use it and how many different places you've seen. Makes me jealous for more time to enjoy our trailer..... A custom job is time consuming and throws off the normal building process a manufacturer is...

We can contribute to this thread too! The CrowsWing Teardrop

That's some nice looking countryside! Thanks for the photos!

Sitting at an overlook off Long Run Road in GWNF It was the teardrops first trip on unpaved, roughish forest roads.

Which advice? Get a tundra or brakes for the Taco and the trailer?

Mtnbike28: I think you should go for the ultimate Tundras brake swap. Set your Tacoma on stands, pull off the wheels, roll them over to a Tundra and bolt them on. Instantly you will have Tundra brakes to stop better with, a V8 to tow better with, and better seating position for driving...

Our trailer chassis came with electric brakes and the little control box that operates the breakaway safety switch through a small 12v battery. Would there be any issues with just tying the house batteries for the teardrop into the same charge line? Or should the small battery be deleted and...

Beth did a nice painting for the door on the wine cabinet and we actually got it out on unpaved forest roads! Deep runoff swales, mud puddles, rocks, and enough switchbacks with the truck leaning one way while the trailer leaned the other to give us a decent test of its ability. Everything...

It's a Tundra.....how much cooler can it get? :sombrero:

Funny, we were at Vernal (and the DNM and surrounding areas) from the 16th to the 24th......of course we had to fly out, rent a vehicle and stayed at the Best Western.... Thanks for the pictures, MPH! Wife and I absolutely fell in love with Utah, so much to see, so much to do.....

No, we have not and likely will not publish the sketchup files. Anyone can buy or build a 5x10 frame, and between this build, other builds here, the wealth of info on the internet, and even the build plans on the tnttt site, design, modify and build their own version of a teardrop.

Keep an eye to Tundrasolutions.com. They have an extensive knowledge base and Sequoia and 4Runner subforums

Nice trip, but how did I miss this thread?! Glad you and the missus are enjoying the teardroppin' life.

Transmission is A340F for the 2004 and A750F for the 2005.

There were a couple of earlier references to the 2007+ and the big bad 5.7 so I thought I could clarify the the potential Tundra size situation. The big 3 trucks always laughed at the 1st gen Tundras not quite fullsizedness (but my truck has done some mighty big work) so Toyota brought the new...

I just did a tire rotation on the truck. Since I've purchased the Maxx's I've put on 23,106 miles on them. Tread depth is at 14/32. I've worn off 5/32. 23106/5 = 4,621.2 miles per 32nd At this rate, if I keep these to just legal tread depth I have a potential 74,000 mile tire! Even keeping them...
