Thanks 85 Diesel, This kind of got off topic, but I truly am interested in any info on Gardner Pacific contacts if any info comes about. Thanks.

I live in Alaska, as far away from the rest of the world as possible, but my Toyota diesel is in Suquamish, WA. I will definitely keep that in mind, in fact I could probably still use some of those pistons. I was going to bore it out as the only pistons I could find for the thing were over sized. The turbo's on these things are hard to come by as well. Do you have a price attached to any of that stuff?

85 Diesel, I have a straight axle 85' toyota with a stock 2LT and a 2nd 77 Chinook that I am going to combine together to create the Chinook turbo diesel. I have seen the other one on different forums and love it. I was following the posts during the initial build and the guy was fabricating all sorts of items for it to take it down to South America. Then I saw him sell it on a forum, and the last I saw it it was being sold on a Seattle craigslist for 15K by a different owner or his father or something. Anyway, my build is still at the finding engine parts to put the 2LT back together stage (only 90K on the engine but previous owner ripped a valve seat out.), I will post pics when I actually get to the Chinook addition part which will hopefully be this summer. it is strange that we were both headed for the same project before a 4x4 Sunrader came along, which makes me think there are more than 20 or 30 of these things. But I've been planning this Chinook build for so long now that I have to follow through regardless of the Sunrader. I will try to get a hold of Greg for some more info, do you guys know his username? Thanks for all of the great info!!

I just purchased my Sunrader last month but I have been eyeing the 4x4's for years. I used to visit craigslists around the country religiously and have only run across 2 (3 now with the 27,500 one) in the last 3 years. I picked it up in San Clemente, CA for $12,000 and felt I got a great deal. While I was waiting for the perfect Sunrader I have been building my perfect Chinook, which explains the other 2, . Do you have any contact info for the RV shop in Napa?

Has anyone ever been able to contact ex-Gardner Pacific (the Sunrader Manufacturer) employees / management and get any questions answered regarding numbers for campers manufactured? I have an 87 Sunrader 4x4 with the 22RTE and would like to know how rare this machine really is.

Just purchased a 1987 Sunrader 4x4 with the 22RTE. Live in Alaska but the Camper is in Boise.

jdemaris, Where is this thing located? I love the pop-up sunders. Hard to find rigs.
