I think mine is kinda high due to no weight in the back yet. Loaded down for camping the other night it seemed to level out.
Tires are a lot better after letting 15psi out of each. No howl and do not change the feel of the van. They definitely make it look better!

Thank you!
Yeah, the color really caught my attention. I have had two previous forest green Tacomas that have taken me to some great places so it was kinda sentimental.

Kinda odd part to try and sale but moving and need it gone.
It is a custom 1" square metal tube frame with 3/4" plywood platform covered in indoor/outdoor carpet. Can supports at least 400lbs (Wife and myself).
Made it to bolt into factory seat location to...
Backed down into a campsite for a break and then had a helluva a time getting out. This one wheel drive stuff sucks! Took lots of throttle and careful line choice to make it out. Looks like some maxx traxs are in order.
At least it looks the part a little more...
Checked the air pressure and...
I have finished up most of the construction of the interior. Just have to finish some cabinet doors then stain and poly everything before securing it down.
Threw everything together real quick for a last minute camping trip this weekend.

My only complaint is that the 880 coils didn't lift the front like I thought they would. Rear still sits a little *** high.

Thank you! Actually drove right by there a couple times going to Expo at Taylors Ranch but I hadn't bought the van yet.
Honestly very afraid to see all of the 4x4 vans. Might be tempted to pull out the credit card!

I wanted a little more lift and to escape the church van vibe so I added Moog cc880 could to the front and Bilstein shocks on all for corners.
Everything was wonderfully rusted up and I managed to break both coil spring retainer bolts!
While installing the shocks I took the time to...
I have redesigned the interior as the bed was taking up way too much room!
The new interior is based loosely on this design I put together on Google Sketchup.
The slide out bed is an exact copy of the one Cornelius made for his van other than the fact that I used round tubing to his square...

The trip to Florida last year was horribly hot due to lack of air flow, even with a Maxx Air roof vent, and having to have everything closed up due to swarms of Mosquitos at the state park at Cape...
Awesome!
Thanks for the info. It is always nice to see other people making it after quitting the rat race. I am super excited but nervous at the same time.
Looking forward to see where this goes!
My wife and I are about to do the same as you next month. I am leaving EMS for good (8 more shifts!) While I do not have a cancer risk like firemen do as a paramedic, I find the job to be soul sucking.
We are just budgeting 3 months on the road because...
