Tacofort's 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO Build with AT Habitat

That's a nifty idea.

 

Also installed a Trax Table, distributed by Backwoods Overland and produced by Quick Pitch Campers.


For the installation, I drilled out the supplied mounting tabs to accept 1/4" hardware. The installation was done with 1/4"-20 bolts by 3/4" long. I used butyl tape. Rivnuts and a rivnut tool. Still need to trim the excess butyl tape.

Dude, you're my hero. I've been looking at these forever, but had no idea how to get one to the states. BWO was under my nose the whole time.

 

Added a shower enclosure called the En Suite made by Quick Pitch Campers sold by Backwoods Overland. It is a delight to open and close.
Used a 2 by 2" piece of aluminum square with end caps to space it away from the habitat, riv nuts to the habitat and (6) 1/4"-20 bolts 3" long for the install with butyl tape.

 

Yup they talked to me at expo east and mentioned they had a solution for storing my max trax. I knew the exact product they were talking about they are the US distributors. Great people to work with.

 

And finally I saved the best for last. I made a homemade annex for the habitat utilizing clips, a 16' by 16' tarp, clear fabric tape, duct tape, button snaps and some ingenuity.
It hangs in a few seconds and is 2 pieces that can be hung separately or together.

This I like. Nice job.

 

Sub for shower shenanigans

 

How are you liking the hd Dakar leafs?

 

I like them well. I have the HD Dakar’s plus an extra leaf. Just perfect for what I do.

 

sweet rig!

 

Wow. Cool set up! Jelly of the habitat. I like how you set up your solar power. Sub'd for sure!

 

Cutting a hole this weekend. Wish me luck.

 

Alright! I was hoping someone would do this! Where did you get the hatch from?

 

Tern overland. I’ll post pics and tips.

 

Great!! Looking forward to it!

 

Did a little paint this evening to prep for this weekend. Disassembled what I could, lightly sanded, wiped down the surfaces, primed, and painted the first coat while fighting off the bugs.

 

I really want to pull mine off and paint them. I was really disappointed that I paid AT all that money for a paint job and they couldn’t even be bothered to paint both hatches on my truck. Just seems lazy.

You will love having that hatch though. I probably use mine more than the back door on my habitat.

 

I’m putting a cabinet behind it, so it’ll be handy, but not traditional side access.

Also, the hatch I ordered is a bit smaller.
