First Gen Toyota 4Runner Micro Camper Expedition Vehicle 

He's is most definitely an engineer.

Thanks! And kinda, I just graduated as a mechanical engineer and am trying to find a job in the off road industry

Good to know! I'll have to look into that for future builds

Yep! Some guys living and exploring out of it near grand junction, co

Thanks! Probably a 1.5 to 2 in lift, ome t bars and springs. It changes by an inch or two depending how much weight is in the truck

they're 31x10.5r15s, and the wheels are factory second gen sr5 15's

thanks! Its just the standard auto parts store one, I threaded it into the factory temp guage port on the intake manifold. Lost the factory gauge but I didn't trust it anyways

Simi Valley, thank you! ventura.craigslist.org/cto/d/simi-valley-1987-toyota-4runner-camper/7217805689.html

@@ParkerWismar how much did it sell for??

@@nicostrappazon 19,500

@@ParkerWismar wow! How much did you put into the custom top?

@@nicostrappazon a lot more than I probably should have haha, a rough guess just for the pop top would be 3-4K in materials plus 160 hours. If I were to do it again I would get a gfc tent and bolt it on or make a custom tubular base

Just buy mine! Asking $25k

Its a stainless steel 1/8 npt float switch from amazon- www.amazon.com/Madison-M5000-Stainless-Miniature-Pressure/dp/B00909365S/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=stainless+steel+float+switch&qid=1621871160&sr=8-4 I mounted it at the bottom of the tank on a custom tube that fits into the factory sending unit spot on the top of the tank. Be sure to use gasoila to seal it up, its the only thing that will seal the threads and stop gas from getting in and ruining the float switch

@@ParkerWismar thank you! I am also wondering how/ where did you connect from the auxiliary tank to the original tank?

@@surfnstocks2998 they’re connected at the filler neck by a big t piece right next to the stock gas tank that then has a filler hose extend across the tunnel over to the secondary tank. The fill tube from the secondary to primary rank comes out of the factory pump outlet side on the secondary tank (I just got a metric thread to npt to barbed fitting to eliminate custom hoses) and into a barbed fitting that I welded into the top of the fuel pump holder on the original tank. It then just dumps down into the tank from there. I thought about plumbing into the factory return line and using a check valve to stop back flow but didn’t want to risk messing up the factory fuel system

@@ParkerWismar I got that part but I am wondering about when you transfer gas from Auxiliary tank over to main tank. I got the filling setup

Sorry if I was unclear and thank you for your help

I had to get a snorkel for a 65 series hilux imported from australia. Had to custom fabricate a intake tube for it to feed into the factory air box

@@ParkerWismar Thank you. You did a great job with that build.

@@ParkerWismar They don't seem to be doing international shipping anymore. The search continues,

I found one on ebay but had to search for the hilux body style because it wasnt marketed to 4runners. Had to ship it from Austrailia but it was only $100

www.ebay.com/itm/254402505429

4.56 diffs, 4.7 t case, stock w56, and 31x10.5r15s

Yes

It’s just bolted to the factory topper mounts (it’s a 80s 4Runner so they came with a removable topper). All the furniture and stuff is fully welded into the floor and body for max strength

@@ParkerWismar oh wow I didn't realize they were removable, that's awesome and your build is incredibly detailed and built to last, whoever got it in the sale is super lucky

Not sure, it’s certainly a tailgater deterrent

More than it would be worth for now! I don't have the shop space or tooling to build these at a profitable production level at the moment. The current process is extremely labor intensive

Yes!

Yes

Sold it a year ago, needed something bigger with more tow capacity

19500!

Pretty much, they're branded as 4runner's in America but are hilux surfs everywhere else

I do build them! And I am selling it! ventura.craigslist.org/cto/d/simi-valley-1987-toyota-4runner-camper/7217805689.html

Please elaborate haha

Parker Wismar - first let me say, awesome build! Im a huge toy fan and love the 1st gen 4runners. I had a 2nd gen pickup and love the square fenders. The reference comes from this movie, your voice sounds a bit like “Kip” at about the 1:00 mark. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NZJrGuC92U8.html (No offense intended)

Why’s that?

Right…

How much did you put in to this build?
