SOLD - 1999 Tacoma TRD/Chinook camper "ChinTaco"

Unfortunately it's time to sell this amazing vehicle.

1999 Tacoma TRD Extended Cab base vehicle with a 1978 Chinook Camper

• 3.4 liter V6
• 5 speed manual transmission
• ~238,000 miles
• 1978 Chinook camper modified and attached by CubsModShop.
• At 217,000 miles - new timing belt, water pump and replaced bad injectors
• Frame was boxed and lengthened to accommodate camper
• Wide side view mirrors from a Ram pickup added.

The camper features a propane stove and heater, a pump sink and LED lights powered from an auxiliary battery (which is charged when the truck is running). Camper also has a shore power connection and water hookup. Note that the refrigerator available in some Chinooks has been removed. Also there is a slide out that fits a Yeti 65 cooler just inside the rear door. Rear door has a dead bolt lockable from inside and out.

I am the second owner since the modifications were done and I've been taken it from Nebraska to the Black Hills, Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier, Seattle and back. Selling because I moved out of state and could not take it with me. It is currently located in my Dads shed in Nebraska, just north of Omaha.

The truck is very clean and in great shape, no leaks or shimmies and virtually rust free. Minimal surface rust but no holes. Recent maintenance includes a new blower motor and battery. I'm not aware of anything wrong mechanically with the truck. If you need something to nitpick ‍♂️ the canvas and screen have been repaired, the drivers seat is torn (thus the seat covers) and the driver seatbelt is a bit frayed.

For a good look at how modifications were done, visit CubsModShop on IG or Facebook:

Asking $19,000 or best offer.

 

That’s awesome. I was curious when you were list it after we talked last year. This is a great build and will make a perfect truck for someone

 

This thing is pretty rad. Wish I had the space and the extra funds. GLWS!

 

What does the truck weigh?

 

I really don't know, never had it weighed.

 

Still available for camping adventures this spring/summer.

 

Wish I could take it

This is incredible! Hope it goes to an excellent home.

 

Awesome rig, I've seen this build on ig before. Curious why you can't take it with you? Issues getting it registered in another state?

 

Don't want to pay for parking. Grad school taking most of my money
