Trail Outfitters New Expedition Rig...Toyota 4X4 Chinook

[Nook]

Any other Chinook or Toyota 4x4 camper owners on the forum?

Hi all, ran across this thread and had to join in to say Hi, I have 2 Chinook 4x4's I built, so seeing them always peaks my interest. Nice find. :victory:

So cool.
My dad had one back in the late 70s
I remember family trips from TX to Iowa in it, 4 kids & two dogs in the back driving down the highway with the back door open and the screen door closed.
I drove it to the drive in movies & remember my dad saying "the seats stay in the up right position":wings:
There's one parked on a side street here in town hasn't moved in 5 yrs not 4 wheel dr but would be a good project truck.
Thanks for the pictures.

Thanks, Oh!! OK, heres a pic for ya.
They built them from 73 to 78, no factory 4x4's, but there were some done by dealers using the early Wolverine conversions, but it added around 2500. to the price tag so weren't a big seller back then.
TrailOutfitters looks great, a transplant at some point, as the camper shell is either a late 76 or 77 model from what I can see.
My brown one is a 76, still full funtional motorhome, the blue one a 75 with many changes and no longer a motorhome in the back.

I think if there were any interior pics of these here Chinook campers, this may very well be my favorite Toyota thread of all time.:ylsmoke:

Well I have 7 more days to finish mine before heading to OVexpo and Cruise Moab.

A lot of long hours at the shop for me!!

Thanks Nick, you too JH, glad you approve of my madness. Yeah thats my rig AKA Blew, in the link you posted, taken several years ago while building, have done numerous changes since those pics were taken, in my never ending quest to keep my wallet empty I can't quit tinkering on them.

Plans: Paint white

Hope you redo the stripes, that is what makes it....awesome. All white would be blasphemy!:ylsmoke:

I talked to him at the EXPO. From there he was heading to Cruise Moab I saw a picture of the rig on another site some where.
