OMG this rig is AWESOME

update; the sport rack bag met with an untimely end; namely it got worn out and then replaced by the $180 custom hitch carrier I made Seen here:

I wish I did; but this was in Yellowstone and we were pressed for time so not really. ill check camera but I don't think so. I will say this about it; he took 3 lbars and he bolted them through the framing/studs on the sides he then bolted the whole thing together with more l bars. The lbars were aluminum. he had a triangular protrusion pointing forward to add more structure without going into the overhead cab with another set of bars. the construction very much reminded me of an erector set.

Here was a Dolphin that was staying at the Canyon Campground. the owner was from Australia, and her and her husband, get this, bought it to tour Canada, USA and South America.
They had never seen a Toy home and merely bought it to do 1 trip in because she said it was cheaper than renting one... they were doing a VERY long "holiday" (a few months).
She said they had driven from British Columbia to Guatemala and then back up into Yellowstone.
So, I think there may have been a guy in here asking how one of these would do; I can tell you this dolphin did it. More interesting was the fact that her husband had also constructed an aluminum roof rack for a small boat that they had been using while in South America; and then sold there. So for those that wondered if a toy home can handle south american mountain ranges with a boat strapped on top theres your answer. She said it was a 14 foot flat bottom boat that comfortably fit her, hubby and 3 small children. That's a Big roof rack...wonder how wide the boat was.

The Giant black bag hanging from the handlebars will hold quite a bit of beer, groceries or whatever. These were awesome things to have when in New Orleans. We cruised bourbon street on them. 33 Mph tough as nails and strong enough to take a 215 lbs. guy like me up hill no problem.
My favorite part about these is that they are silent and free. No gas, I charge them at base camp off shore, or when driving off of the inverter plug. They are always ready to terrorize, er uh I mean gently explore a campground.

fully assembled scooter. I take two of these on trips as the go getters, The 230 lumen cree flash lights we mount on these are removable and will send a beam into the stratosphere. Great also for dear camp and caving.
-
the scooters fold in half as shown in this image. Makes it quite easy to throw 2 of them on the hitch rack. They both actually fit in a sport rack bag believe it or not. I run the chargers out the bag and into the generator cubby where they charge off the inverter while driving.

someone on this forum claims these aren't as bright as filament bulbs and that the vendor doesn't have a good reputation... My pictures speak for themselves. Did they arrive and all work? Yes. Are they brighter than a camera flash. most definitely. Do they make things look like cat vomit?, I don't think so but I think they are bright enough to make a cat vomit. Where they expensive? if you call 2 bucks a panel expensive with free shipping... do they draw a fraction of the power? See the next picture of my battery meter with all of them on at once. (12.7)... The verdict is in, naysayers 0, blinded Totem 1.

Tongue and groove cedar paneling turns the Rig into that cabin in the woods. All it needs are woods. Drive it there.

I slap a couple all terrain 1000Watt racing scooters on this carrier shown. Fun times.
-
Tiger Bamboo. Solid. Tough.

Hard to compete against a King Ranch front chair; but a close second are these woven leather Custom coach cushions that my friend makes sized to order. Aniline leather love is the theme. new cushions meant the old were dumpster-ed next t the original barrel chairs.

My butts favorite cool upgrade; Ford F250 KING RANCH LEATHER INTERIOR. Oh yes, I did just weld that. I figure hey, some people swapped lexus motors but my butt rides on a ford where it counts. Frankenstein Up!

The Vent contest.
-
Each batteries Voltage. Now I never ever ever have to wonder about the alternator, battery state etc ever again.

another view of the T9 Air Gauge. (its above the red hose)
-
Gotta love this Upgrade for those with independent air bags like T-9's... these are industrial tire Gauges that I had made to 65 lbs psi. just replace your tire cap with the gauge cap and screw tight with channel lock. Green is good; red means add air. No more guessing and only 8 bucks. All stainless steel. I think I will get more for actual usage on tires...
-
Ever look underneath your old factory barrel chair? Its a Bass swivel seat mount.....I couldnt resist actually putting bass fishing seats on mine to lighten the load and add some extra use. Bam waterproof patio and boat chairs that can be used outside of the rig... sweet.
-
No more warm beer. Leveled the rig and installed these buble levels. the Refer be praised.

NEVER stare directly into an 800 lumen SMD LED...Unless you are wearing a welding helmet.

Hi there, Glueing these could be problematic for you; time consuming and heavy, I did a Sunrader in cedar paneling without using glue instead using the shortest brads (3/4) on an air brad nailer after a discovery of wiring locations. I would be scared to use glue because its a vehicle and unless kept in heated storage with ideal humidity the glue will prevent expansion and contraction and may sever the tongue and groove. Glueing works great on floors because Gravity holds them down flat; but verticle wall surfaces are different. Just trying to help; but if a brad comes under strain it will just pull out and you can rectify the humidty or temperature issue (or let time in storage do that for you ) and re nail it. with no tongue/groove to nail Im not sure how to fix an expansion problem

i noticed a lot of people had chrome grills and bumpers. mine is just plastic; was this an upgrade or aftermarket or an oem option on some years?

Just curious, is that a bag awning or retractable?
