1997 Toyota T100 SR5 3.4L V6 4x4 Auto w 166k mi + Custom Camper - $22,000 (Portland, OR)

[herbsco]

I am the second owner of this vehicle, the first owner bought new in 1997 and commuted less than a mile to work every day. He kept a pretty thorough log that I can pass on to you. I purchased it at 151,000 in July 2020. In the last 15,000 miles, mostly done by Japanese Auto in Portland:

- Timing Belt + Water Pump (all drive belts replaced)
- New OEM Radiator (all new hoses, thermostat)
- 1-½” Ball joint spacer front lift
- Custom Leaf springs for rear with 1-½” lift
- Total Chaos idler arm
- All new shocks for lift
- Replaced worn suspension components (ball joints, bushings, Pitman arm)
- Valve cover gasket replacement
- Front + rear drain and new fluid
- CV Joints
- New Muffler
- PCV Valve, O2 Sensor, Evap pressure sensor
- General Grabber AT2 tires (5,000 miles)
- Passenger + Driver seat belt
- Antitheft system
- Regular oil changes, full synthetic

The camper in the T100/1st Gen Tundra is so much sweeter than Tacoma bed campers because of the added width and length. With the 61.5” width, you can comfortably sleep two friendly people (47” padded bed width) and still have a lot of room leftover to fit the fridge, battery, water, sink and trash. With a 76” length vs 74” in Tacoma, you do feel a lot less cramped if you’re 6’ tall like me. Sitting up while in bed + couch mode were essential too, you can comfortably do this if you’re 6ft or under without slouching.

The camper is made using Baltic Birch plywood finished with a high solid lacquer that is durable and easy to clean. It is made into 5 different parts or “modules” that connect using insert nuts and machine threaded screws, assembled using only a phillips screwdriver for unlimited assembly/disassembly without a loss of integrity in wood. Once assembled as a unit, they are attached using Phillips machine screws to existing attachment points on the bed. All drawers are locking and all sliding components have locking hardware to make sure everything remains in place even on the toughest of trails. Complete assembly/disassembly/installation takes about 30 minutes.


Camper components:

- 50L chest fridge/freezer (12V,110V - Ausranvik)
- Bluetti EB150 Battery (1500 WH / ~100AH)
- 100 watt portable solar panel (quick connect located on outside of vehicle)
- 11 gallons of water storage
- Integrated sink, wired faucet connected to water pump
- Pull out waste bin
- Custom upholstered cushions
- Removable storage bins (Hay)
- Locking pull out drawer/table for cooking outdoors
- Flip up internal table with support bracket
- Sliding bed platform extendible from 28” -44”
- Canopy seals reinforced with marine grade silicone for a watertight living area
- New double bulb seal for camper/bed connection
- Indirect LED lighting for camper


I have a background in furniture and camper design and this is my second personal camper I have built for myself. I am moving on to an Alaskan pop-up/F250 camper project. Please let me know if you have any questions, thanks for looking! - Chris
