Agreed - 100% - I'm on it...

Thanks for all the replies. I originally posted this and a bunch of other inquiries about 2 months ago. I took all the advice given and ended up doing a 180 and ended up buying a 2013 Tacoma Access Cab and will be installing an Alu-Cab Canopy Camper to it next month.

For the longest time, I was all over wanting a 100 with a Campteq. Til I figured that since the 80 is a more analog unit, it may be a better platform. I realize a LC "trip ready" is heavy (but certainly no heavier than my 8,000 lb van). Yes, they are slow but swerves can happen at slow speeds...

I just viewed a video where dude with an 80 sold it to buy a brand new Prado. Main reason was safety on pavement - which in reality ends up being 95% of the driving you do on expedition. (yes the 80 is better/stronger on trails) I ask this as I am considering an 80 for expedition use (NA to SA)...

Well - I did post this yesterday! " So- I will be calling Campteq. THX for all the input."

So the Campteq is clamped down to the rain gutters?

As it happened the deal for the mint manual 81 that I was looking at fell through. There is a stock mall crawling local 81 that just came up. It is a little rougher around the edges body wise - but it does not bother me and way less upfront cost. So- I will be calling Campteq. THX for all the...

FJR - I've got a self-built Transit van that I've slept in for 15 months in the last 3 years. (Canada & USA). So I know intimately how nice it is to be able to stand up inside when your doing stuff. I figured in the 80 I'll not be inside as much - but enough to shudder each time I think of...

Thank you all for the input RHD manual is what I'll be looking for.

Thanks all for the input. Manual it is...

FJRanger - All good points - I already know it is a great product and know the install is bombproof and that it will get the job done for my intended purpose. I just cringed cutting a hole in the rig I'm about to buy. If I were to get a CT - a hole will be cut - without a doubt - hence my...
