New Topper. Tall Can...
I Just picked up this Leer Journeyman topper today on craigslist for 180 and it was only about 15min away! It's a little rough around the edges but I think it will be great. A coat of paint on inside, maybe even color match the outside?? Though it's not far off, maybe just a wash on the truck? I have been looking at driving 6 hours and paying upwards of 1500 for one like it. It has a full 4ft from the bed floor to the roof so there is plenty of room for me (6ft) to sit above the wheel wells and still have head room. All the doors open without compartments. I'd like to design a compartment for a fold out kitchen and that will be in the works soon. The topper is also much lighter than I had expected. I have been thinking of doing a pop top (just like my dear old westy) and the extra height will give me plenty of material to work with. That's down the road. For now I'll be getting to work on the interior. I'm thinking bamboo plywood for my storage and kitchen then I don't have to worry about water and carpet, we all know they don't mix.
As far as the Yokohama Geolandar It GO72 tires that I have been running, well I can't say enough good things about them. Soft rubber, lots of sipes, quiet and soft ride. Oh, and unbelievable traction in snow, ice, mud and everything else. I'm going to run them a bit longer into the spring and give them a couple of desert trips as well.
Hope you all had a good winter. Plenty of on snow adventures here. I'll throw up a couple of pics just for fun
