    Back from my trip and I worked on it a bit today. should have some great progress over the next few weeks...Got started on extending the wiring harnesses for the tail lights... I have to solder in and shrink tube the wiring for the tail lights, license plate light, backup camera, brake light that was above the rear window and interior dome light.
    Also put a fresh eye on the interior build plans...

    Thank you everybody for your kind words of encouragement! I have a million little details that I am working out right now.
    I bought 2 of these awesome composite propane tanks. They are 17# capacity and weigh under 5lbs empty! They will mount up high in the back on some custom aluminum brackets that I have designed... with the external propane, the whole rig will be just over 19 feet long... I have kept it small enough to fit in a standard 20' shipping container! This is a big deal for me with my plans...

    Also a big thanks to George for making these wooden window spacers for me while I was traveling. I can permanently mount the side awning windows now.

    I still can't believe there is no company that offers the chinook type campers to fit on a Tacoma or others...

    I can't wait to see some overall progress shots!

    An Austrian company called Geocar builds cool drop ins for Toyota 4 door Hilux... not sure if it would be a good fit for a Tacoma....

    There are two now right? XP and...??? My guess is that the market isn’t quite big enough. And, our trucks just don’t have the payload to reasonably handle these campers without a lot of work. Suspension and gears, mainly. But that still doesn’t mean it meets DOT or state regulations for payload.

    But, I would love to see more options!

    I do not have a bunch of update news but have been picking away at a bunch of little crap. Got the wiring harness extended for the tail lights and back up camera. The tacoma taillights were a chore but are going to look great. I am mounting them with a 3/8" black rubber trim border.
    Ready to mount the diamond plate utility boxes.... I also have all the hardware to finalize the fresh water fill and the 2 gasoline fills...I have an additional gas tank of 15 gallons to install. I have a pair of white powdercoated stainless steel locking gas fill hatches that will mount one over the other on the driver's side. I also have a matching hatch for the electric shore power....
    I have been working on finalizing my design for my sofa/full size bed and for my pull out chuck wagon kitchen. This stainless steel propane stove and sink combo will be the main componant along with a counter that will swivel out to create a small 90° outside galley..... the 3 way fridge and tiny microwave will mount over the generator just inside the back door.

    Got the diamond plate utility boxes installed on the driver's side.... they will get tied together with diamond plate wheel wells. Still have the other side to install.
    Also got started on the tail light brackets and trimming out the windows on the inside of the back door with starboard plastic jams...

    Between travels and getting caught up on everything I have been blowing off while obsessing over my build I haven't made much new progress... I am out of town for the holidays but will be back on my project when I return west week of January.
    Merry Christmas all.
