Holy Cow! 4x4 toyota RV!

Toyota RV?

Does anyone know more about these? And yes, if I had the money I would so be all over this.

Thats just a custom job...

I mean, you can just buy a pop-up camper like that and stick it in the bed of your yota like any other truck.

Its prety sweet though ...

I've seen that camper before. Way cool. See the full write up on that camper here - Toyota Motorhome

They're a pretty sweet conversion. I'd take one -

I wonder what the platform is for that yota conversion - Tundra or Taco? Looks a little smaller than full size? But that could be that huge condo on the back!

The Sportsmobile is an amazing unit too. But I hear the Pathfinder 4x4 Vans aren't so hot.

I really like this custom unit too - Custom Toyota 4X4 Camper

darn, i saw on the way to San Diego last saturday, a 4x4 Ford Aerostar. I tried to take a pic with my digi cam but couldnt. it was pretty interesting though. it was lifted with offroad tires... you could see the front straight axle. it had body armour, .... the whole works!

actually, that's a '78 or older pickup that's been converted to 4wd, most likely a wolverine conversion with a dana 30 front axle and divorced dana 20 transfer case. you can tell by how the front fenders really taper compared to a '79-83 truck, though the back of the cabs on them look the same.

It's a '76. Follow the link and read about it.

Those trucks were made into everything.
Just look at the Toyota/Winnabego Trekker
