As I said before, one of my passions is mountain biking. I've competed off and on for quite a few years, but mostly I just like to get out an ride in the backcountry. I had been looking at several of the hitch mounted bike carriers, but I hadn't really come across one I thought would fit my...

Recently I began testing out different sleeping arrangements. The addition of the dog is a factor in any of our setups, but I can always set her up in her bed in the back seat of the the cab with the two windows open between the shell and the cab so we can hear if she needs to get out when...

Now we come to the back. We travel with our dog. As a member of the family she rides in the back seat 99% of the time, but on occasion we have guests for an extended period of time. A little cramped conditions are okay on short excursions, but the more people who are along might push her...

Tires and wheels were next. I had my mind set on the Method NV from the beginning. In the last two builds (a Tacoma and a 4Runner) I used the MB 352 that I got at Discount Tires. They are similar to the NV in design, at about a $70 a wheel savings, and just slightly lower weight rating per...

During my 4Runner build I did the Southerstyle Offroad slimline bumper with the integrated light bar. I liked the lines so I decided on the same for the Tundra. After a while of waiting patiently, the delivery guy finally arrived. IMG_7689 by cobblecrazy, on Flickr I opened the box and began...

A drawer system was something I had originally wanted to do to my 4Runner, and this build was no different. I've watched Youtube after Youtube, poured over pictures and build narratives, and quite simply been left with my head spinning and bags under my eyes... I'm fairly handy, and I'm...

Since I did not have much of an interior/lockable area for my stuff I purchased a set of Yakima Bedrock locks to attach my Yakima bars, bike racks, and top box to the bed. IMG_7541 by cobblecrazy, on Flickr This allowed me to put things in the bed underneath the rack, but I found the bars to...

As I begin this narrative I must give a little history which may give a little insight into why I went this direction. I would say this is my 7th, or 8th, true "adventure" vehicle (with another 4 or 5 of the two wheel variety). Some have been basic alterations - such as adding tires and a...

Sold. Thanks to all that inquired...

Thanks. This is one of those trailers that sets up in minutes, doesn't have to be "winterized" , and fits just about anywhere you might end up.

We've had it down some fire roads - basic rocks, holes, dips, and off cambers - and it's always tracked right along. There is quite a bit of clearance - about 13-14" - at the axle, and with the trailer being so short I think it could go quite a few places with ease. Right now it has 215/75/15s...

Thanks. Hopefully we can find someone who will have a lot of fun with it.

I had a few questions posed about the electric brakes on the camper as this is not something found on the Tiger Moth. When we purchased the unit, the Taxa website listed electric brakes as one of the included items; however, when we received the trailer we discovered no electric brakes. We...

Not at this time. I’d say a few hundred miles, or what I could do round trip in a day, would be my limit. We bought it through a dealer in the Midwest and had it shipped. It’s small enough they were able to make room for it on a flatbed with some other stuff so the cost was very reasonable...

The trailer and I are both in Reno. Thanks.

I can deliver within a reasonable distance. Your location shows to be Danville, CA

Done. Thanks.

I've had a few questions about the Tiger Moth. Here is one of the better Youtube videos on the camper Additionally, people have asked how durable this camper actually is. I've never had any issues in the places I've gone. The owner/designer of the unit was a NASA engineer, and the quality...

We are selling our Taxa Tiger Moth camper. This is similar to a teardrop style camper, but the interior bed converts into a bench style seat and you can move around a little more than a typical teardrop. There is storage under the front seats and in the tongue box. There are several platforms -...
