New member with a new Tundra.

[NateK]

Hello everyone!
I want to build my truck so that I can be self sufficient for 2+ weeks at a time and thought this would be a good place to start.

It's a 2010 Toyota Tundra double cab 4x4 with the 4.6l V8.
I've already leveled it, done wheels and tyres and put new mirrors on it.
What I may need help with deciding is what type of living, etc setup I'll use...
I need to be able to haul a full-size sport quad in the bed (may get changed to a flatbed) and I like the idea of a pop-up camper or pop up RTT like the maggiolina, but I want to know all of my options before I bite the bullet.

Any suggestions or pointing me in the right direction is much appreciated!

Thanks!

Maybe with a rack like this, but must be high enough to fit your ATV under it.

Welcome..!

Do you need the back seats for passengers when your overlanding?? Because you can build a removable rack system for the back seat area to support a fridge/kitchen setup or storage if you dont, and that leaves the bed more free..

There is a slide in camper that doubles as a toyhauler, made Western Recreational Vehicles.

The new Tundras are very tempting.......Much bigger than my 05 double cab.


Have fun with the new truck.

My brother recently won a tubing bender from Pireat4x4 so I can build a rack to suit my needs which I will certainly do if I go the flatbed route, most of it will be tube. :victory:

I've been tempted to get an engel, but $$$
Much of what I do will be limited by limited funds.
