The truck looks like an awesome setup for touring in comfort. I just have to poke fun at that though - a Toyota Corolla can make it to the Arctic Circle and back with no problems on either of the North American roads.

@crazysccrmd Thanks! You make a good point, though I am not sure how the Corolla would do with the camper on the roof

Got any more photos? Also what MPG are you getting? is the 46g tank on top of the stock tank so 72g total?

 

[sjoertling]

@Salty42 Thanks for the questions. I have tons of photos. Would you like to see anything in-particular?
MPG is around 12mpg. If you are pushing 75+mph on the highway it will be 10-11mpg.
You will get 15-16mpg cruising at 45-50mph.
The 46g Transferflow tank replaced the stock tank so that is the max.
I have thought of replacing one of the spare tires with jerry cans to carry another 20g of either water or gas depending on the trip. That would be an easy swap since the spare tires mounts are bolted through the swing arm and just tack welded.

This looks to be a very well thought-out build with tons of worthwhile extras. A great price--you couldn't come near duplicating it for that.
