Hello all, Google tells me there are some people DIY'ing this but do you know of any already-made water storage tanks that will fit in and be held in place by a single or dual LPG tank carrier? I'd like one that's square, to maximize the volume. Doesn't need to be high pressure... Thanks!

Shakedown cruise is done. The 4Runner tows like a pig compared to my other vehicles, but it did good enough that I would tow with it again. But it did only get 8 mpg for the continuous climb on the trip up. The camper did good on the rough terrain. We towed it along a woopdee forest road that...

Aaaaaand I forgot to take a pic on the scale. Dangit. Final weight is 1,760 lbs (give or take 20 lbs.) That's including the mattress and awning, but nothing else. (Those 2 things are 110 lbs, so ~1,650 real dry weight.) Just about what I anticipated, maybe even a little lower. Still need to go...

Forgot to take a picture of it on the scale, but I have to go back anyway. Their #'s don't jive. I really need to black out those wheels... Don't tell Toyota I'm appropriating their brand for my camper. :) And some close ups of stuff. Just don't look too close. It's what I get for making it...

Hey, with enough imagination... I power my squaredrop with a Bluetti AC180 (we call it the bluetittie), using the cigarette port (10A) tied to a buss, which in turn is tied to all the stuff. 2 LED reading lights, a larger overhead LED light, a vent fan, a small LED light in the galley, and a...

Nope. Windy Wyoming.

You could hook to the safety chain loops at the hitch. Worst case would be looped around the shaft but I wouldn't recommend that unless you really have to.

Welcome! I would move to Scappoose just to say I live in Scappoose...

It's only an 11 hour drive! We recently vacationed on the big Bear Lake (on the Utah side though.) That is an awesome lake. And there was almost no one there. My bro-in-law recently asked something similar, that he had never welded but it looks like fun. He asked how easy it would be to pick...

Thanks! I really do like the fenders too. I had planned on making them differently but I came across just enough diamond plate in a scrap bin to do those. I get lucky sometimes. Kinda hard to see but the steps are expanded metal on angle iron, the fenders are diamond plate, and the light boxes...

We're in the home stretch, at least to the point of taking it out. There's some random stuff that can be put off for now. I wish I had bought premade storage doors though. The premade cabin doors made that a heck of a lot easier. The ones I made will work but are going to take quite a lot of...

Got through our fireworks shindig with all my fingers and got some time put towards the camper. The top rack, awning brackets and awning, roof vent, and a couple pieces of trim are installed. @reaver, that seam tape is awesome! Thanks for the referral.

I would suggest the I-80 over the I-70, to get through the middle as fast as possible and yet maybe still see a million geese, if they've stuck around that long. But maybe not. Either way, I-80 with no geese is better than I-70. :grinning: Not what you were looking for, but I'm curious to...

Why we're considered to live in the high desert... Beasties in the wild...

I feel like I'm walking through a museum for the first time. My first sight of this thread. I might argue the other way, that the "shot in the arm" to car camping has increased competition and in turn, innovation and improvements. And the increase in full-time Overlanding YT'ers (yes, with...

Fancy shit with them lights! Nice. I have spacers on mine. To get the bigger tires away from the walls as well as convert the Timbren lugs to Toyota. My 4Runner spare fits the trailer now.

I totally agree (no pun intended.) I've heard a few horror stories of buying a salvage title only to have to actually scrap it... Dumb stuff. It has little to do with the state and titling itself, but rather the insurance issues.

Looks like a nice truck. Best of luck. Buying salvage titles vehicles for WY is pretty much a non-starter, as no one will insure it.

Might do good to include some pictures...? Just a thought.
