Zam15’s Tacoma Build

[brettf]

I love this truck

 

[Sal R.]

Really should think about adding a propane tank holder to my rear swingouts, as well...?

 

[Zam15]

So many options! Ready for any kind of trip!

Camping funk is no more!

Testing out the water setup but its coming along great! Flow is good, can turn off the nozzle and the pump will cut off at the desired pressure. 18 Gallon Tank allows for a few quick showers, but no heat yet, still deciding on the best heat exchanger. Bike rack seems to be the best place for the shower head, far enough away from the truck and the perfect height.

Air tank has also been hooked up! Still finalizing the quick disconnect mounting locations.

i'm curious... have you weighed this thing since having all the work done? Not going down the GVWR finger pointing direction, just curious how much it's gained since stock.

I'm still changing the setup daily, but hope to have the setup finalized in the next few weeks. Still so much of the truck has been changed out even down beefing up the frame.. a lot was also chopped out. Eventually I'll weigh her in but no idea at the moment but she handles better than stock, still short on power as Tacoma's always have been.

Fridge is in! ? This time I can actually use my ARB slide! Can open the fridge inside and outside the camper now. Also makes cleaning the fridge a whole lot easier! Also have another battery from the previous Flip-Pac owner and I'm thinking about mounting it behind the fridge on the slide. Everything clears just perfectly! No more fridge bouncing around the back of the truck! Also fridge vents right next to the window so hopefully that will help keep the heat and power usage down.

Did your neighbors enjoy watching you take a shower

As long as they pay for the show more of a bathing suit shower unless your in the middle of nowhere. After traveling Japan and using public baths I'm a little less reserved than I once was lol

Love the new sleeping area and headroom the Flip-Pac provides. I loved my RTT but this is a huge improvement! New sheets!

Another useful item is a computer cooling fan for those hot breezeless nights. They are much quieter that the normal 12v junk they market.

Got a buddy heater that should work for now, still this thing has good ventilation, opening up the windows makes a huge an immediate difference. Fan would be nice though..

Picked up a magnetic screen door for the main entrance hat should let me keep it open at night while keeping the biters out.

Alright, final weekend project. No more bugs!!!

Where did you source the screen? Thx

Now this was as stressful as when I did my ARB snorkel! But the connivance was worth it for me!
Fresh water fill port for my water tank!
Made sure I was far enough away from any structural fiberglass and made a great bracket on the back end to sandwich it in!

Testing out an area flood light placement on the camper. Think I prefer under the overhang.

Things light up quite the area and are not too harsh on the eyes.
