Tell me where the roof top tents touched you. Your safe here.

Ok.... everyone: I am not the OP. I brought this thread back to life out of curiosity. I am considering options for my HZJ75 Troopy. Grafting a hard shell RTT is an option A compete DIY is an option Modding a VW/Westfalia type pop top is an...

I...am....not...looking....for ...a....roof....top....tent.

I'm not looking for a rooftop tent I'm looking for a pop top solution for my troopy without spending $13,000

Just dropping some truth bombs, man. Not everyone finishes what they set out to do.

Aren't you a ray of sunshine.

Together a powerhouse! :hungover:

Why destroyed? Seems like just a variation of an off-the-shelf pop top being done by someone with more time and skills than money.

Bumping this.... where did this project end up?

Thank you Scott, you were a great trail companion. I still can't believe you walked back and forth the way you did. And hey, no pictures of the giant gear oil spill of 2025?

Welcome. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be the event's 'official' photographer. Info on participants corrected. My toys - Nikon D850 (with 50mm & 85mm 1.8 lenses), Fuji X100VI with my mini Lakan in the background And thank you...

Found this thread (that I commented in back in 2018) that answers most on my questions. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/2013-toyota-tacoma-access-cab-chinook-build.1012449/page-5

Great info, thanks!

It depends on generation. Gen2 tundra is a lot different from the gen2 Sequoia. The Tundra has a c-channel frame from basically the transfer case back. The gen2 Sequoia is a fully boxed frame all the way back and has IRS. New Sequoia and Tundra...

I was under the impression that the Sequoia was built on the tundra platform. Does that not mean they use the same frame? I agree that there would be some challenges in fusing the two parts together in a way that would allow them to remain rigid...

Simpler, yes. But I like the idea of being able to include the cabin into the camping space. Not having to get outside to get into the camping space etc

Oleg from Irbis Off-road started a project like this years ago. I’ve always liked the idea. I think the original Chinooks were dually rear axles though. https://risingsun4x4club.org/xf/threads/tundra-expedition-camper.14089/

To stay Toyota and avoid buying a sprinter for camping/overlanding and towing.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

@BudBuilt .... thought you might have an opinion on this.

If the original Chinooks based on mini trucks can have the "bed" (camper) bonded to the cab with the interface open why would it be overly complicated to build/bond a camper body to the back of a Tundra (or Tacoma) cab? In the most simple...

I think Jonheld just coined a new phrase that will be heard over the radio a bit.

That settles that - now we just need a couple of donkeys to name sprinkles & cupcake. Woy, if you ever make it out west again I'll introduce you to the left coast cupcake, he drives a Jeep.
