Bailey's 2010 Tundra - Adventure Build & Photos

I'll hook up with David or Hugo to arrange that!

 

More progress on the Goose Gear Rear Seat Delete

 

Not sure what the seat delete will weigh once coated and assembled. I'll try to post a final weight

I do know it'll weigh less than the factory seats... those buggers are heavy (145.7lbs | 40% = 53.8lbs, 60% = 91.9lbs)

 

you ever consider regearing to a 4:88 with the camper and bigger tires?

Also whats the final weight of the camper when you're packed and on the road?

 

I haven't thought about the regear. Power isn't an issue

I'm at 7440 loaded (truck, camper, me, etc.)

 

Currently in Oregon

Here are a few pics of my NWOR (North West Overland Rally) trip so far with Chris M. from TOTAL CHAOS Fabrication.

We camped on National Forest Land near Mammoth Lakes Sunday, Plumas National Forest last night and now we're in Oregon.

















More pictures to come...

 

Installed the Goose Gear Rear Seat Delete just in time for North West Overland Rally

Here it is with some of my gear tied down:

Locking storage cubby that can hide a few things under the platform:



Come check it out at North West Overland Rally!

Looking good man! Love the goose gear stuff. Does it rattle or make any noise? @Bailey

 

Thanks!

It doesn’t make any noise. I’ve had it loaded with a few hundred lbs of gear and now it’s got roughly 100lbs of constant load (with the dog).

No annoying squeaks or anything

 

Good to hear. I wanna take out the passenger side 40 and put a fridge freezer in there. The goose gear platform would be a nice upgrade just on that side.

 

Great pictures as always.

 

It's hard to leave Washington with camp spots like this

 

Dude you are killing me. Beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing.

 

Thank You

I'm really fortunate to call Washington home for a short period of time

A few days ago I took Imogene Pass up from Telluride to Tomboy. The pass was closed at Tomboy. On Friday morning I took Imogene Pass from Ouray just past Upper Camp Bird Mine (~11,500ft). Had lunch and turned back down. Looks like it'll be a few more days before the entire pass is open.

It was a little rough but I'm happy with how the Tundra and Four Wheel Camper handled everything. Check out some pics below:

 

A lot of the passes are closed right now and some pose an avalanche danger when they open. August would be a better time to be here

 

Never had a chance to take pics of the rear seat delete without any gear

Here are a few pictures with everything removed from the Goose Gear Rear Seat Delete

 

Camp for the next few nights

 

I just did Imogene

Missed you by about two weeks!

 

camping near Winter Park, CO

 

I decided to add a safe to the center console of the Tundra. I wanted something secure for certain valuables while maintaining some use of the massive center console

The 07-13 Tundra console safes tend to cost around $300 and take up the entire console. I went with something else for a fraction of the price. Take a look at the pics below

(ignore the mess )

 

Left Colorado a little early to head East and explore. Currently sitting at a Rest Stop along I-70 in Missouri



I need to be in DC 9/30 to visit the girlfriend but I don't much in the plans before then. Going to cut through Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia (maybe other states too?) I'm hoping to find some free camping along the way.

Haven't taken any pics besides the one above

 

If you make it to North Carolina let me know. I'll make sure you get a home cooked meal or point you in the right direction.

 

I think I will make it that direction at some point. Not exactly sure when.

My Uncle and Cousin just moved there this year so I plan on making a visit.

I appreciate it!

 

Traveled through 19 states in just under 10 months of owning my Four Wheel Camper. Going to try and make it 25 states before my 1 year anniversary (11/23). Currently in Pennsylvania



I've been very happy with the way the truck & camper have handled life on the road. The @TOTAL CHAOS upper control arms and @Elka Suspension have made the truck ride like a dream, especially on long drives.

No complaints about the @Baja Designs lights either. The perimeter lighting has definitely come in handy a few times. I don't really use the XL80s that often since I'm not on the road too much when it's dark.

My tires have over 35k miles on them and will need to be replaced in the spring of next year. Most likely going with the same Toyo ATII in 34x11.5. It's a great tire that has handled anything I've thrown at it.

I will be on the East Coast until the middle of October. Not exactly sure when I'm headed back to CO and how long It'll take me. Having too much fun out here
