@Chorky it looks like the XploreBaja build I dig it!! https://xplorethewild.com/2015/06/18/xplorebaja-camper-build/

@Bhodgin this thing is rad!! Out of curiosity why did you get rid of it? How did the cordura work out as canvas material?

@T_FORE_R I live in Los Osos if you want to drive up the coast to borrow mine.

@Motafinga Your SF looks really solid. Curious to see how it performs on this shakedown trip. Where did you source those blue and red springs from? Also how did you determine what springs to use and why different ones? I am always on the prowl for a utility bed similar to yours... hopefully...

@Chorky Did you ever end up getting a bed made for your rig?

@Motafinga thanks for the info, these OBS frames flex alot. Keep posting updates I plan on trying to to mimic what you are coming up with, it looks solid!!

@Motafinga excited to see how your mounting system works out. I would love to pick up a utility bed and modify it to fit my FWC. How much did your subframe end up raising the height of the utility bed and camper?

Current mechanical mods: Wicked wheel 2 turbo wheel, larger transmission cooler, procomp level kit, 285/75r16 bfg at ko2 tires, mismatched truck canopy, sleeping platform, 6in memory foam mattress, thetford cassette toilet, carpet kit for truck bed/canopy, helps a ton with moisture, noise, and...

@White Dog my fridge vent leaks as well. I installed a drip rail over it to no avail... I am interested to see what you solution is!

I had a overweight Tacoma for a while and I would recommend against it as well. Get an ECSB F250 you won't regret it.

@White Dog What structural rivets did you use on your strut install. I'd like to add rivets to my existing ones as all I have holding the plates in place is 3 self tapping #10 screws. Figure redundancy can't hurt.

@IdaSHO do you have any pictures of the 3 point mounting system you built for the flat bed on your OBS (your old photos no longer show up)? I'd like to build something similar for mine but am still in the design and dreaming phases. I have a 96 F350 CCLB. Thanks!

@Basil. I am interested in the dipstick repair kit. How much for shipping to 93442?

@tookstar154 thanks for the recommendation! Does anyone know where to get the o-rings for the oil rail end plugs/ gallery plugs?

@HayStax my dipstick is starting to leak as well... I am thinking about getting this kit looks pretty straight forward...

This beast is epic!! GLWS!!

I met this really rad couple in Baja Sur who had a chassis mounted Pheonix. The build quality looked quite nice although the camper was only about 6 months old. DSC_0289 by Matt Sawyer, on Flickr

@hbabler I had the same issue with my 7.3 recently. A trick that I recently learned is that when the IPR kills the motor and it won't start while the IPR/motor is warm, you can put an ice cube on the IPR to cool it down and it should fire back up and let you limp home. I plan on carrying a...

@joseph.hinker thanks man it was a pretty rad rig I still regret selling it. I never weighed it but I think I was carrying around 1,500+ pounds around at all times. I ran OME heavies on all four corners with wheelers 2nd gen super bumps in the front (trimmed to fit) and timbrens in the rear...

@joseph.hinker I would recommend a custom leaf pack and timbren's. I had a first gen Tacoma with a heavy cabover camper on it with dakar heavies and two of their add a leafs. The springs sagged quickly and the truck spent most of it's time riding on the timbrens (which actually worked...
