2014 Tundra TRD 4x4 Expo Build Is Finally Beginning!!

[RAM5500 CAMPERTHING]

Finally sold my Toy Hauler last night..

Stage one of my Tundra build is about to start!

Truck will be built/used as a bike hauler, to camp in and sleep in, dual bats, fridge, inverter, drawer system, etc...

Bed is already Line-Xed

First order of business is a Leer 180XL Camper shell, will be ordered Monday.

I have a Perfect Switch Isolator here here that i will be using for the dual battery setup. Just researching locations to mount it now.

Things i am looking for information on:
-Drawer System / Sleeping platform. Digging the Truck Vault setup, and may go with that, but want to explore all options. The "DECKED" system is nice, but too tall!
-A Used 45 or 60 size Norcold or Engel.

Anyone else building up a Tundra like this?

I think you are going to love the Tundra as a platform for what you are doing.
I have been doing s similar build, although the bed is for storage rather than a sleeping platform. For photos see:

Good luck with the build!

Also, Arctica is doing a totally fabulous build. Take a look at what he has put together.

Thanks! I have read yours and Arctica's builds extensively!

VERY VERY NICE stuff you guys both have going on! I will probably be adding the 45 gallon tank he is running at some point.

I am a more of a minimalist though..

I am researching the heck out of drawer systems, and cant find anything that fits my particular needs though.

Would be great if a company sold just the drawer systems in a build to your liking setup, ie the drawers and sliders and all the harder stuff is pre assembled, and the box around it is built by the owner!

Still reading!

Thanks

I have the 45 gallon tank as well. It is a fairly easy plug-and-drive installation. Nothing like having almost 46 gallons.

Very Cool!

Anything need to be done to modify the filler neck?

Just need to find a buddy to ship it to outside of CA!
