Do you have any pics? And would you consider selling the camper separate?

 

[mphoppe]

Pics are at the link in line 4 of the original post. Probably not interested in separating the package at this point, but might consider a partial trade for a late model 4x4 (Tacoma, 4Runner, etc) and cash.

 

[tacototheworld]

Ah, I see where the pics are now. No problem about not wanting to separate it, I understand. I just bought a 2019 Tacoma and I am looking to put on a fleet. Let me know if you change your thoughts. Good luck!

My 2014 is better equipped than the TRD Pro... a truck trade might have some possibilities... shoot me an email if you want to discuss... mphoppe@gmail.com

 

[tacototheworld]

I totally agree that your truck is better equipped to carry the Fleet than the TRD pro. For me it’s really important to have a brand new truck as I’m trying to avoid maintenance issues. Next year I’m planning on taking our Tacoma on a multi year trip around the world. If you’re curious here’s a link where I’ve asked for advice regarding the truck build,
https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/taking-a-tacoma-around-the-world-need-advice.585792/page-15. Be happy to hear your advice as well

Quite the adventure! Since your asking for advice and I'm selling my rig the common denominator is my favorite mods. Just FYI, I have been building out adventure bikes for 20 years, the McGiver mechanic on about 400k miles of off road bike adventures, and I'm an engineer/gear developer.
1. Solar - 320 watts fixed on the roof, 100 foot auxillary cable for up to 210 watts, Winter (low sun angles) and forests, lots of shade, and endless gray days. All that works perfect even though the 120 watt suitcase panel is more than enough under "normal" conditions...which occasionally occur. Generator never required.

2. I added a 3rd house battery under the hood with billet mounts and heavy duty cable in a circuit I designed. This lets 1) connect 3 house batteries and connect to the truck main with a smart switch, 2)connect all 4 (solar for the truck), 3)pair the under hood batteries for starting/winching, etc while isolating 2 house batteries. All accomplished with one Marinco 3 way 600 amp switch.

3. Suspension & Tires: Ex roadracer (AMA), and every ADV bike (mostly BMW, 14 GS's to date) ALL got aftermarket suspensions. Tacoma has Fox on all 4 corners, Hellwig leaf springs (that were designed for Tom Hannigan who used to own FWC and this exact rig), and Industrial airbags for tuning...with KO2 tires, that are amazing off road and crazy quiet highway. Handles better than the stock truck WITHOUT a camper/load!

4. Lastly, The Aluminess set up front & rear. After working out exactly my clearances and needs for the rear design, I worked with the team at Aluminess (awesome people) to significantly modify their base design. Weight and function requirements were more than met.

Very interesting build. Lots of neat options. What is the weight of the vehicle with the camper/bikes/fuel/water/etc.? Curious.....

Thanks for your suggestions. I’ll be adding these to my build!

are you selling the bike rack or the truck/camper combination? Almost all the images are of the former. Didn't see any of the interior of the camper on your link.

Just added interior pics...thanks for your patience! Pics here!
