Hondo Garage's New Thing

We switched back to deposits once the lead time got really long. So right now we're taking $500 deposits and we'll invoice for the remainder at about 8 weeks out (this will vary a bit plus or minus depending on when we place orders for materials for those builds). When/if we ever get to within an eight week lead time we'll switch back to full payments, but for now we're just requiring a deposit. So I think it's safe to assume we'll be taking deposits for a little while

 

I snuck in before the increase but I feel that with the level of quality, craftsmanship, innovation, and customer support that the price will stay and rightly so. I would have still paid the increased price but glad that I snuck in before the increase since I am looking at "add-ons" such as lights, awning brackets, and fitted sheets. I am also curious what the cab rack will look like, I am somewhat interested in a heating system but a mr buddy will work for a while.

 

We just ordered our extrusion for the roof rack system. Will have a tacoma half rack for the cab and possibly a cantilever if it tests well. Nothing to show yet but racks are coming.

 

Order number isn't indicative of camper numbers. Those numbers get generated for every sale, including accessories and bed rail t-nuts, of which we sell a lot.

 

Awesome, if it gets figured out before my pickup or ship (still havent figured that out) date then I will add that on. I have a few things I would like to store up there.

 

Did you have a chance to check on striker plates and bolts packages, Wiley? Left a message with Elise earlier today.

Tired of listening to my side panels rattling.

 

I let both Elise and Ben know to put them together. So you should be hearing from her soon.

 

Just some photos from around the shop today:

 

Let’s see some pics of the new Long Travel suspension setup on the Tacoma!!

 

It's the newish standard gray. Now both space frame colors are glossy and all the panel colors are textured.

 

Will be updating here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ackcountry-access-build-with-opinions.523145/

 

So it looks like the total weight of the decked system and GFC is about 500 pounds. What Rear suspension combo is working for you?

 

Hmm, I wonder if the orange frame with silver panels is mine.

 

While we are talking about price, it is interesting comparing my four wheel camper to my roommates Vagabond. For the same price (around $6000) I can't help but feel like the four wheel camper offers a whole lot more for not a lot more weight or mpg loss.

 

You got a 4 wheel camper for ~$6,000?!?!? They retail for $18,000 new, base price.

Edit: Also weighs ~925lbs dry, the GFC is ~275lbs. https://fourwh.com/product/finch-popup-truck-camper-mid-mini-tacoma-crewcab/ These are really for 2 totally different kinds of people/markets.

 

I guess if they were the same price and you wanted a camper that would be true. If you want a more modular system that still lets you use the truck bed then the Vaganbond or GFC is a much better choice. I definitely wouldn’t be tossing a dead caribou or moose in the backdoor of a four wheel camper.

 

Forget it dude. If you had replied and said you're firm at $200 I might have gone for it. But pretty much a dick move to post you wanted to sell but don't even have the common courtesy to reply to someone who was interested. Its not like I dont know how often you've been online here, so am pretty sure you've gotten my messages. Peace out.

 

Are you okay?

I actually haven’t gotten any new notifications for new messages so never saw that you had sent one - that’s my bad but certainly wasn’t malicious.

 

Lil over dramatic me thinks.
