Thanks! We started over in Alabama Hills for the first night. Used that as our meeting staging spot. Then @shoredreamer led the way over hwy 395 up towards Papoose Flat. We spent the first night there at a spot with incredible views. Temps dropped rapidly to below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Not all...
Hey everyone - I just wanted to share a few pics and trip details from our Thanksgiving trip through Death Valley. The trip was EPIC!
A few key stats:
Rigs - 3 Toyota Land Cruisers (two 80 series and one 200 series) and one custom trailer
Tents - 3 iKampers and one Camp King
Crew - 6 adults...
A few summers ago when we did the Sawtooth Nation Forest in Idaho, we brought my two kids under 5 and my wife was 7 months pregnant. A bathroom solution was in high demand. We used this dry flush for the family and it worked spectacularly. It's not the cheapest option out there, but it sure was...
I had a very productive few days and felt like I got a lot done...
Welded up the side supports...
Built the lid... 14 gauge metal on top. Opens up fine now but may need to go with the 175-pound shocks. We'll see when the tent arrives.
Welded on the hinges... These things are...

Got a bit more done...
Put together the top of the box. Used a sanding flap to get It all smooth.
Then put the angle iron corners together. It was a challenge to get these things all lined up. The inside corners of the angle iron aren't 90-degree corners - they're rounded so when I butted...
Thanks Steve!
Drilled a bunch of holes for the box structure this morning. 50 to be exact. Would have been a bear without that drill press. Not all that exciting but glad it went without any issues.
Got some Monroe struts ...
Welded up the tabs...
Added a few support tabs...
Took it apart, flipped it over and got a rolling chassis.
Went for a little spin. So far so good.
If I were to give one piece of advice, it would be to be hypersensitive of the weight and
Thanks - If I were to change one item, it would be the location of the axle. I was so concerned with how well it'd tow (tow's great) I didn't take into consideration the weight I ended putting up front...
Got a lot done...Picked up a set of 285 BFG ATs tires. Fit and welded the tow bar with a receiver hitch on both ends. One to hook up to the Tacoma (probably will use a max coupler) and one in the rear of the trailer. The rear one is really in place because I think it looks cool and perhaps bc it...
Got tires to match the Tacoma : ) Also drilled wider holes for the spring plates and fitted them to the suspension to make sure everything fits and works together. Started planning out where I'm going to put the tow bar and how far from the box I'm gonna have it. Measured and cut the receiver...
