This project is finally out of the fabrication phase, so I thought I'd post some pics for people to gander at. I started the project with a hoop that I had made for an old FJ80 TLC. It was a bit too wide, so I cut it down and welded it back together with some angle iron splices. Instead of a...

And the wonderful new owners just drove off with the Ocelot!

With how we carry our gear(Mountainsmith Modular Haulers), along with the fridge, and gear for us and two young kids, the cargo barrier is a better option. I don't intend to have an access panel; I figure if we need something from the back, it is a good time to stop and let the kids stretch. I...

That is a much simpler solution; I like it! This was my project for today: I used an incomplete barrier from my old FZJ-80 as the starting point. Originally, the top hoop was one piece, and the bottom portion a second. I did not use the bottom hoop, and just ran a bar straight across. I cut...

Here is the finished backing plate. I just used some clear coat as it will be hidden in the door. It is not pretty, but it is functional.

Well, my original thoughts are to use some square tube steel to space out the tire carrier by 3/4" from stock. Between the vertical pieces of tube steel I'd run a piece of plate steel. From this piece of plate, I'd use some round tube steel that is correct diameter to fit through the hub in the...

Rear door table I had delusions of getting several projects done on the Gato today, but only got the Trasharoo mounted, and started on the rear door table. Trasharoo. I pulled off the rear portion of the clamshell tire carrier. With that off, my tire cover fits easily now. For the rear door...

I did not do them; I had Good Carma Garage here in Flagstaff do it, along with some other stuff. I just spoke with the owner, and he said book time is 5.3 hours for the pump alone. Figure on some extra time for the camshaft seals and crank seal as well....basically anything that you can replace...

With these vehicles being somewhat uncommon in the States, compared to TLCs and other SUVs of that ilk, I figure that as much info on them should be posted as possible, so here I go with a build thread on my 2001 LTD Montero. We bought this about a year ago with 100k miles, and from the...

The camper is under contract, and as good as sold. Thank you to everyone for the interest.

Thanks to everyone that has come by so far to check the camper out. It is still for sale at the moment!

Perfect for the summer travel season, no matter the climate or temp, you'll be ready!

I'll snap a few photos of them tomorrow and send them to you.

I would go for the FWC. I am able to install/remove my Mother's ATC in less than an hour, by myself. With the mechanical jacks at each corner, sitting on top of some custom wheel dollies I made, I can back the truck in to the garage, raise the camper jack up the right level, and push the ATC...

And another bump for the last time this month!

Bump.

Bump.

Yeah, I talked with him briefly about it a few weeks back. You'll enjoy the truck. Since you're local, stop in to Good Carma Garage on Blackbird Roost. Say hello to Dave; I am there a bit too and it is always good to meet up with the other locals.

Paul, The camper came off a Access Cab Tundra with a slightly shorter bed than the current 2011 Silverado that it is on now. I'm not sure of the exact dimensions right now, but I'm pretty sure it would still fit. From the conversations I had with my father and in looking at the Bill of Lading...

My father and I picked this up in Durango in 2011, and it served my folks well, but since my mother is now a widow, it is a bit more than she wants and would like to sell the camper. My folks took the camper all around the SW, and all the way up to Canada on the back of their 2011 Silverado...
