The Drifter - Specs and FAQ

Mine did..I had to fill in the gaps with caulking...just an fyi anyone looking to buy a drifter, one just went up for sale on Instagram under the @vilmontmarket page.

 

I seen that. DCSB no windows located in NM. Could be a steal for someone in the market right now.

 

I’m going for it. I need a home this winter.

 

Nice! Good luck!
Was looking at the pics on IG and it looks like it may have the insulation package as well.
Not positive

 

Anyone taken their drifter through a car wash? I get free coupons from the dealer and car washes are kinda necessary around here with the salt in the winter.

 

No but if someone gives me their drifter I’ll put a bag over my snorkel and try it

 

I’ve done it with mine, and snorkel. Everything was ok!

 

All the time. Solar on the roof and everything.
In my case, it (pretty obviously) doesn't clean the front wall behind the cab, and soap pools under the cab-over.
But it's a much better option than pretending I'd get around to hand washing it eventually...

 

I have. Many times.
No need for a bag over the snorkel.

 

You always bag your snorkel, or else that's how you get lil Toyotas running around

 

In the past I have. I never had an issue with the Dorkel in the car wash either. The main issue I had was with the shitty wrap that I have on it. I would get a bubble in the same spot. I have since had it repaired.

 

I'm in Co. Springs if you want to check a drifter out

 

Can someone with a 6' drifter and windoor take a couple pics looking into the front of the bed through the window and give me an idea how easy it is to reach into the windoor to the front? See,s like the window is set about a foot or so back? Trying to plan how to build some storage in the back.

 

That is one of the reasons I went with the frontrunner doors as they provide more access. Also the handles are flush cant get caught by trees on the trail (more of an issue in Canada that the desert).

 

I wondered about this, never go through automatic carwash just do the pressure sprayer bays to get the mud off.

 

I go to a car wash that's a mix of hand and machine. It goes through their machine to wash, but dry by hand and clean the interior. Not bad for $25!

 

It’s about 19" from window opening to bulkhead

 

For a less quantitative answer...I'm about 6' (with a matching wingspan) and I can reach in to the front corner of the bed through my windoors, but the edges of the windoor is all up in my armpits.

 

Perfect, thanks guys. That's exactly what I needed to know.

Are there any solid resources out there on plans/materials/tips for building wood storage setups in the pickups? It'll be the first time I'll be doing something like that.

@SenatorBlutarsky , where in UT do you live?
