Awesome!

I love that you guys are keeping it simple and just hitting the road.

Keep it up.

Simple I can fix, Cheap I can afford.

Complicated I can't fix, so key to the trip is to be as simple as possible :)

Should have it complete early next week

Today we are setting off again from Sweden, we are heading up to finland, the Arctic Circle and Lapland, then heading down to Russia. We enter Russia on Monday. Starting to get real now. Some real writing should come with the pictures from now on.

Plus we have finished the Bed in the car;

Memory Foam Mattress

Then finish like a normal bed.

What is your hieght and weight? Looks comfortable but tight. I really want a shell for my Tacoma and a bed set up. An RTT would be nice but is not in the budget.

I feel like I would be too big for a set up like yours. I'm 6'6" and 270lbs.

I am pretty close to your size. We have an RTT mounted over the Tacoma bed.

Hmm, I am around 6ft 2 and weigh a small 185LB ish.

I think you will be fine, I share this bed why my girlfriend, we spent the first night in it last night and was perfect. Between mine and her weight we are well over your weight, so I would think you might be fine. It's nice and cheap this way. :)

So, having some bad luck with the car at the moment, meaning at the moment we have left Russia and returned to Sweden, we took excited back into finland and took the ferry to Stockholm while we work out what to do. Didn't expect the car to have so many issues after just a few hours on relatively good Russian roads.

1. Rear right indicator no longer working, some short in the circuit somewere, can't seem to fix.

2. Airbag light came on from wire becoming lose, now fixed

3. The big one, our fuel lines have split / corroded in multiple places, turned from a small leak to dumping the tank off diesel all over the floor. Not good. Unsure what to do now.
