LFaub's 4x4 conversion/camper build

Digging the truck dude. Keeping it simple and getting out adventuring. Love it.

 

Appreciate it dude!

 

Been a while since I’ve done anything significant on the truck since my brakes have been shot. Did a thing today so I can at least have 4 squishy brakes instead of 2 squishy brakes

 

Getting some work done finally. 200,000 miles and the truck’s still on the factory water pump. Could have gone maybe another year before I started having issues.





Im honestly really impressed, these things really are built to last. All that being said, I can’t wait to not do this again for another 10 years lmao

 

In case any of y’all have a 1st gen tundra brake booster lying around and are wondering if it swaps in, you can chop the stud on the back of it a half inch and it fits perfectly.



Went with the Tundra booster because it was the only one I could find in the junkyard, but my brakes are a bit more sensitive now, which is cool. Since I did the brake swap, the brakes have felt real heavy and given very little feedback, so I’m glad to be running this booster now.

 

Did you use the Tacoma or Tundra brake master cylinder?

 

Still have my Tacoma master cylinder, thought about swapping that as well but decided to stick with my current one since it’s in good shape

 

Haven’t had much updates but here’s a quick run out to Cinder Hills I did today

 

Finished swapping in a set of 1997 4Runner Limited front seats today. Took a little bit of modifying to get them in, but they turned out great! Ever since I got this truck I've been wanting to upgrade the seats, and I'm glad that @Noob95.5 hooked me up with a clean set.





pic of the old seats for reference:


I've also ordered a set of covers for them, so hopefully those arrive in the next couple weeks

 

Looks rad!!

 

Nice! Those look much more comfortable!

 

yea, dude, can't thank you enough! Passenger side went in pretty easily, although I'm gonna miss it automatically sliding forward. Can't wait to put some miles on them though!

The improvement is crazy. I do lots of trips between Flagstaff and San Diego still, so I'm stoked to have some comfortable seats for doing road trips now

 

With school starting to slow down I was able to make some blackout panels for about $28. Turned out great, might add a bit more Velcro but overall I’m stoked that the idea worked!

 

Don’t need anybody creeping in on you and the ladies during camping trips.

 

don't need the sun creeping on me at 6AM when I'm still trying to sleep lol

 

Did a bit of cosmetic repairs this weekend. Huge thanks to @BurgerTaco for hooking me up with the fender and some killer pastrami sandwiches!







Got a big trip to Moab planned as part of my graduation celebration, so I’m glad the truck will be looking good as new for her first time in Utah!

 

You better drive it up hells gate on the hells revenge trail

 

Only if I can get a video of it lmao

 

Well you have multiple people going so you got it

 

Just got home from my first ever trip to Moab. Two nights of camping and my group hit up Gemini Bridges and (most of) Metal Masher on Saturday. Had a great time, definitely need to go again!
