Kat Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I came across this today in my search for a Sunrader and thought I'd shard since I know 4x4's are desirable by many. I'm looking for a 2x4 Shorty Sunrader but would love to hear if there is feedback on this vehicle. Little by little, I learn from reading the discussions here! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-Tacoma-Motorhome-Deluxe-Leisure-Odyssey-Conversion-Motor-Home-4X4/202409889803?hash=item2f2091d00b:g:B38AAOSwXl9be4rC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a Sunrader I'd be all over it but then again, it wouldn't be that price either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Well I just told a member here he should sell his similar model for 35 grand. These guys don't know what they have. It's not big. It's 1 foot longer than my Sunrader. What a screaming deal. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiten Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Buy it Kat, that's an incredible deal and looks good, has onan and ac unit. Mine is totally easy to maneuver, never felt like it was too long, fits in a regular parking space even with the box on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odysseybernard Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 How safe is that without dualies with all that weight? Tires don't match. Gas filler is in the back, maybe an oversize tank which you would need due to poorer mileage than the 2x4. Otherwise very similar to our 91 Odyssey other than twice the miles. It is so risky to buy one without seeing it and inspecting. Hidden water damage is so labor intensive and hard to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running 15" rims front and rear, it's no problem finding tires rated at close to 2300lb each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey 4x4 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Sold ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 You bought it? It was beautiful. I was very tempted but so far away. Please tell us how that gas tank is hooked up. Is it an extra one or did they replace the original. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I remember you. You used to be 87 Escaper and you built the best bumper mount motorcycle carrier ever. You've been quiet lately, now that you have a new baby I hope you share it with us. The Odyssey of course, not real baby Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Odyssey of course, not real baby Linda S That's me!  I did buy the odyssey, I took a bit of a risk buying it before being able to see it but it looks spectacularly clean/ low miles and there really isn't much I can't fix mechanically.  I will be in possession of the truck Friday/Saturday and will try to get a post up ASAP about the entire truck considering I know how rare the Odyssey factory 4x4 is.  I could barely find any info on them online.  Perhaps I'll do a video walk through if interested?  I have been all over the place since selling my Escaper (which I think a user on here may have purchased).  I travelled the country via motorcycle for 3 months with my dad and we covered about 13,000 miles from coast to coast! I have considered a Sprinter van, F350 custom 4x4 camper build conversion, Provan Tiger AWD Astro van, M1078 LMTV military vehicle but everything had its pros and cons.  The Odyssey looks just about perfect for me and I fell in love with it the minute I saw it online plus I knew what a screaming deal it was.  Keep an eye out in the future for plenty of activity on here from me again!  I look forward to doing another complete build, this time 4x4 and offroad focused!  Of course, it will all be well documented as I really do enjoy doing it.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm holding out for a Shorty Sunrader! Still looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I know. Odyssey 4x4 bought it. He has been a member here a long time and just changed his name to match his new rig. He will be starting a thread to let us all get to know how cool it is. Very talented guy at upgrades so it will just keep getting better. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
