Cruised through your build thread. Really like what you’re doing! This is the first one I’ve come across with the full barn doors. When you get a chance, I’d be really interested to see some more pictures of how those full barn doors fit and are sealed. Sometimes I think about getting the...

Huh? Whats the logic here? Tundras and Toyotas in general tend to go for a very long time.

I keep thinking this discussion is missing some differences between Oz and the US. Australia is about 80% the geographic size of the US, a huge proportion of which is pretty remote and needs "Utes" and offroad vehicles to access. the US has nearly 13 times the population of Australia, and while...

I have pretty much what you want to do. IPhone 12max, iPad mini 4 no cellular/gps, Gaia Pro and the bigger, older inReach. Gaia works great with this setup. Synchs between the iPhone and iPad fine. I use a Bad Elf gps also and its been flawless for 4 years. Dont find the inReach useful, except...

TIG welding at 3, a name with no vowels and growing up at OVRLND, how could he not be cool!

Jay and Maggie — Congratulations on the new baby! You must be excited (and tired)! Marti and I are both really happy for you guys. Are you busy trying to think of names without vowels to match up with Ovrlnd ;)???

I had exactly the same thoughts about these when I was looking to replace my ‘09 Tacoma In 2020 with a 1/2 ton to support a lightweight camper. Several things took me in the direction of the Tundra, however. Of the four previous Toyotas I’ve owned, Including two 2nd gen Tacoma’s (with heavy off...

These for me, with caveats: Totally comfortable, easy in and out, good for walking and light hiking around camp. surprised at how well they keep fine dirt and dust in the Southwest out of my socks and feet, despite breathing well. Not at all waterproof! But I suppose you could treat them. Been...

Between epoxied glass and painted plywood I‘d be a little more concerned with the plywood, specifically the strength of the wood–paint bond. Depends on the weight load on them I suspect. The VHB itself probably wont let go of either surface, if well prepared. Definitely invest in a can of...

While I would agree that the website could use a little refresh, I completely agree with Aaaslayer’s comments on working with Jay and Maggie. They have been tremendously responsive to me in the process and since with my questions and advice. Great example: my thermal pack was two inches too wide...

Great design and build! I’ve used VHB (5952) pretty extensively on weird surfaces including some woven, cordura type surfaces. It's conforming so holds well on flat, slightly irregular surfaces. I would think epoxy over glass fiber would work. It's all in the prep as you likely know. Slighly...

I kinda think these wont help you too much, but here you go … This is the rear corner by the doors. Couldn’t even get the small Rivnut tool in there so used a self tapping screw. My heater mounts. All the Rivnuts have been centered in the frame members. I had to use spacers here to...

Looks great! Makes me wish I hadn’t gotten the cab facing window. I’m now planning to cover it as its my remaining major thermal gap. My wife likes it for light, so gotta make it removable. Happy to shoot a couple pics tomorrow, but I haven‘t done any in corners. This is what I use for a...

Looks like a great start! FWIW, for my Coroplast panels I went to two different fasteners. For through attachments into the frame in the corners and a few edges I used 3/4” self-tapping lathe screws with a smaller diameter 1/8” drilled starter hole. Super easy and they have an integrated...

Not to thread jack here, but . . . For others with Tundras who may be reading this thread, Sherpa got back to me and said they they had had other inquiries about this and were working on a shorty Animus rack for Tundras. Apparently, they have to redesign the back mounting foot as their regular...

Yeah, cushions and inserts didn't work for me either. They have helped me in my wifes ‘18 runner when the lifts didnt. IMO the 4runner seats are worse than my Tacomas. Toyota seems incapable of learning some things … FWIW The Seatjackers are really well made. It would be difficult to impossible...

Went from this: to this about a year ago: Real happy with the change.

Congratulations! If you haven't seen it yet, there‘s an Ovrlnd thread. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/ovrlnd-campers-only-post-your-ovrlnd-camper-build-here-or-a-link-to-your-build-thread-to-inspire-others.229680/

FWIW here’s my reasoning for going Tundra. A year in I couldn't be happier. 1350 lb payload for DC SR5 with 38 gal fuel tank and upgraded seats. Went with a light pop-up camper shell that only weighs a confirmed 362lbs. Waaay more comfortable than my Tacoma, more nimble than 3/4 tons and other...
