Mini camper Max adventure

[MMMFarms]

Ok so i got this acct awhile ago while still doing my build, but now its time for the unveiling. Been lurking awhile taking notes, i think shes ready. Only reason i feel like its special enough for its own post is ive never seen anything like it.


1984 Toyota pickup
ATK Rebuilt 22R
New oem carb
New oem cam
Double chain timing
Gasket matched
shaped intake/ports/exhaust
2.25in OME HD suspension
4.10s open diffs(for now)
32in Falken Wildpeak at3

The camper is of an unkown builder. Looks like it's from a company but no badge on it anywhere.
My gf and I, and our 2 dogs will be leaving in a few days on a trip down the California coast, then east towards Flagstaff.
We've got no real timeline, a few vague sights to seek out, some friends along the way and memories to make.

Im 28 and leaving a life growing weed in Northern California, been in one place too long. Planning on seeing what this rig can do and live in (semi)comfort. More pics incoming soon!

Now that's a compact little camper that can go places. No worries about low hanging branches with that set up! I'd recommend making some kind of canopy off one of the sides or back though. Something that small will give cabin fever quick for any rainy days

Wew thanks. Yes there is to be an awning or two when finished. Currently trying to finish up the loose ends before we officially "move in" Since i posted we've done ceiling and walls in the camper, solar controller and inverter are mounted, led strips in camper and some other stuff.

Im hoping for it to be about as trail capable as it would be without the camper, I'm not going to run it hard but expect to get farther out than most camper setups could.

Ok well I'm laying on pismo beach right now, life is about as good as it gets i reckon. Will do a text/pic update soon. Just wanted to say thanks for all the information on all the threads I've lurked on over the past year or 2.

day01 got out the house around noonish. first time doin 70 on a major highay in the bish. does great, altho im still getting used to it. night came quick and we decided to hunker down in the wal mart roseville pkng lot.

- day02 Head out Mid Morningish, decide we;re going to make it to big trees by the night, So its sac up the 4 to big trees. Well it seems i made the mistake of not overseeing the route planning and we go up the mtn past snowline, hit a couple thousand ft summit, road closed. we turn around and go back and as i get service i see that were on the hwy for the ridge south of where big treess and the 4 is at. NBD really we're down to camp anywhere but as far as that road every camp area and ohv is closed.

So we loop BACK to angels camp and head up the 4 as the day is closing. FastForward to us pulled over to the side, foggy, snowing dark af and my gf freakin out cause its dark and snowy and im not really tryin to park and camp in that kinda weather first real night out in the boonies.

we go down the road BACK to big trees state park, and post up triple parked by some closed bathrooms in the park. Didnt have change so i didnt pay the envelope machine. tarp up cause the in between is leakin a bit and had a cramped albeit warm sleep with both dogs in back with us and loaded up in the most inefficient way possible.


.

day03 woke up got loaded up in a hurry and took off. grabbed pix with a bigass tree and took off. couldnt find out way out the park so a nice ranger rounded us up, made us only pay 10bux and we split. back down the hill, thru angels camp, then stockton, thru san jose onto santa cruz. all highway and some i5, truck did great, minimally sketchy but i could fell something was up, checked and one of my rear spring u bolts had a loose nut and the others felt like they werent far behind. tightened them up and everything else was good.

Get into santa cruz, and start looking for a state park to camp at, began having a bit of an issue, because we didnt do reservations at any of the state parks and chick is wanting to take a shower. First couple beach area campsites wanted like 60 bux , boo. but we rolled up to sunset st beach and nabbed a camping spot real ez. dope spot but way too close to people, but regardlesswas only 35 (boo) but nice showers so whatever..

First impressions after 3 days.... I have to get more comfortable with sleeping in places I'm not technically aupposed to/we need to lighten our load quite a bit.
