2013 4x4 Tacoma Custom Chinook build in progress


Jbird

Recommended Posts

I picked up a 77 Chinook Gazelle for the shell and wrecked 13 tacoma 4x4 to build this...I cut 10" out of the camper and laminated it back together with 10" added to the front to fit the Acess cab... welded steel subfloor... this is where I am 1300 hours later! I had a 91 Sunrader to do a 4x4 conversion to but opted to build this custom Chinook instead. My plans are for a huge international journey starting in Australia. The rig was built to fit into a 20' shipping container!

Here is a link to a build thread, thanks for lookng!  Jay

What a great build thread, good, useful pictures. Wow.

Beautiful combination of form and function and really well thought out.

I only ended up about 600 lbs over you, but at about 100+/- hp, I'm also going to have to get a bumper sticker that says:

"0 to 60mph, - Sometime Today"

Don't loose momentum now and thanks for your contribution.

BR, TG
