    1998 Tacoma - "Overland Rock Crawler" - SAS - 37s - Lockers - Dual Tcases - 64k Miles!

    We took the Tacoma on another EPIC trip! Over 2,000 miles traveled and 2 weeks of camping... Completed the Rubicon Trail, Fordyce Trail, Barrett Lake Trail with lots of exploring between. Best thing about this truck is being able to drive 12hrs to the destination and drive home. No trailer...

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    After 1 week of traveling in the Truck Camper we talk about the things we like and dislike about it. There is nothing perfect. Everything has some compromise and trade off. Most of the challenge is finding what works for you! So far, we are enjoying the change to the truck camper. There are...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    One of the “MUST HAVE” options on any current generation Ford F250 / F350 is the Auxiliary Switch Panel. This is a rather inexpensive option when ordering your truck (less than $200). The switches are located in the interior headliner area near the front windshield. It allows for you to...

    1998 Tacoma - "Overland Rock Crawler" - SAS - 37s - Lockers - Dual Tcases - 64k Miles!

    Glad you enjoyed the videos. There's a ton to consider with camper choices. Really comes down to the comforts you want and how you plan to use it. I've done many styles of travel (interior sleeping platform, soft roof tent, hard roof tent, four wheel camper, Sprinter RV and truck camper)...

    1998 Tacoma - "Overland Rock Crawler" - SAS - 37s - Lockers - Dual Tcases - 64k Miles!

    Thanks! Enough money and time anything is possible. :) I have looked into diesel. There are just too many downsides and not enough upside. Pros: Better mpg (but not a ton - I'd likely see 2-4 mpg improvement) More Torque (but difference is minimal with tuned S/C) Improved Range (thanks...

    It's been fun checking your build too. Thanks for checking out our videos. I never thought I'd buy an OX locker. Cable actuated is a nice concept but poor execution. I've run ARB, Elockers, Lunchbox, LSD, Spool... This newer design to run the OX on AIR is brilliant. Of course, you need...

    1998 Tacoma - "Overland Rock Crawler" - SAS - 37s - Lockers - Dual Tcases - 64k Miles!

    I agree. Realistically rock crawling is high risk recreation. I'd hate to roll, damage, dent a pristine original truck. And I'm fairly certain an insurance company would total any vehicle after cutting off all the suspension, steering, etc... if reported. My wife was an Insurance claims...

    1998 Tacoma - "Overland Rock Crawler" - SAS - 37s - Lockers - Dual Tcases - 64k Miles!

    Engine is on stock mounts. Not modified. The 3RZ does appear a bit slanted due to the strange valve cover design shape...

    1998 Tacoma - "Overland Rock Crawler" - SAS - 37s - Lockers - Dual Tcases - 64k Miles!

    I don't know the details on the salvage title. I've been through the truck and haven't seen anything troubling. Cab is original correct VIN plates. Both doors are original with VIN stickers (they seal well / operate properly). Both fenders were original (but I replaced the driver side fender...

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    The Gray Tank holds the water from the sink and shower. This is typically not that dirty especially if you screen what goes down the drain and use biodegradable soaps. There are a couple issues with carrying around your gray tank water. The first is the weight and second is disposing of...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Thanks for sharing information! Will keep the contact info should more power be needed. So far... 240 amps seems to be more than enough. We are running a 50amp DC to DC charger off the truck alternator to charge the camper. It rocks! Easily pulls 50 amps at idle. Great for getting the batteries...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    After endless searching and call... I found that most of the custom tank builders are in the boating industry (many located in Florida). I had John @ SpeedyTanks.com build the tank. Here's the drawing I sent them...Tank Drawing They built it perfectly to the specs. I've been just using the...

    Good information. How is your fuel mileage? They gear these trucks for mpg (low revs) for sure.
