The Taco and Chaser trailer mounted on the bed is exactly the type of rig I'm currently researchin' ...

I'd considered a similar setup when I started the FJ60 but kept coming back to the fact that I'd have to break camp for a day of wheeling. That would be fine for overland travel as you would most likely do that anyway but it'd be PITA for going to events at an ORP. It's a trade-off either way.
I'm curious to see the platform to start with.... no doubt the back end will all be custom built.
Sure wish I was working, I'd be calling on Rubi & the lil trailer.....

Reckon there's gonna be alot of trade-offs since I'm attemptin' to replace Lil Pete'/Presidential Suite, Rubi/Kamper, and the Cruiser with one vehicle.
Bump - cause I'm curious as to what you're up to. My vote is an extended TJ with the AEV Brute cab kit, a flatbed, and a custom camper on the back that can be left in camp.

I think I've 'bout exhausted any hopes of a Ty-ota platform due to my love of big American horsepower and 1-ton axles more than anything. So right now the Brute is indeed the leadin' candidate for my platform. Hemi and 1-tons are easy to get on 'em.
Won't be any kind of removeable camper though ... I want to be free spirited and not have to worry about returning to a given location to camp. I wanna be like a turtle and carry my shell with me.
Lookin' into some options ...

Currently in the middle of negotiatin' for the new (to me) rig ... the platform for my expedition build. 
Hope to have the deal done by the weekend and I'll post up pics and specs of the actual rig.
Reviewin' all the guesses of those that par-tic-i-pat-ed in this fine thread brings out the followin' partial truths:
Correct! But ... By Gawd ... I do love it when ya take a TJ and turn it into a pickup.
Correct! Y'all know I gotta have the ponies under the hood.
BINGO!! 'Cept I'll also have the Brute bed on the back.
Correct! Mr. Cole at CAMPA USA | All Terrain Trailer and Expedition Vehicle System | Camping Trailers is gonna help me with that. But that's gonna be a ways down the road ... runnin' outta s*** to sell to fund this project.
This here thread has done run its course.
I'll start up another thread once I get a deal done on a Brute. Hopefully soon ... but gotta wait and see.
