Edit: Shirk beat me to it.

At this point why not just buy an earthroamer? Something tells me th F-xxx chassis is stronger suited...

Good snows can help..
But if you're going to buy something for skiing specifically it doesn't make sense not to buy awd/4wd.
The tgr go to of beater truck and slide in seems to make the most...

Buncha northern lites and bigfoot slide ins on Seattle Craigslist today FYI. Thought someone was looking for one

General consensus from what I've read is find a bigfoot /northern lite or similar fiberglass meant to be used in the cold. Less chance for leaks.

Norse has a sweet setup on his tundra. maybe he...

I'm guessing someone will.
He didn't even respond to me go figure

Glad you were able to confirm. I was mega bummed when I wasn't able to snag it for this winter. The original owner was an older guy looking to give someone a deal to use it. I offered to drive over...

90% sure that's the rig that was listed as "a very good deal" in missoula for 15k a few months ago.

Tried to snag it personally but not a chance for 40k

Tapatalk fail. Double post

Expensive but seems rad for a smaller rig.

Anything converted to 4x4 with any form of build out fetches$$$

At one point would be trying to pick this up tomorrow - but hoping a mag thinks these are as...

If you say it's also awd....

That would be a super fun build out.

Yeah wasn't trying to derail. Back to regularly scheduled rvs.
Keep seeing this rad 4x4 setup in my hood and want to know more.
Shit picture but gets the point across...

I've seen so many photos and talked to so many people who have had the opposite experiences but mostly in drier climates with sharper rocks.
In the PNW, it'd probably be fine. Just wanted to say...

I'm about to buy tires for my land cruiser and looking at the Cooper S/T maxx or toyo a/t III for year round duties.

Duratracs supposed to be great in snow, but real bad in rocks/wheeling in off season if anyone is considering them for all around.
Lots of reports of easily cutting sidewalls WIDE open.

Aka half the sprinters/slide ins even clogging the road up to crystal/plenty of other mountains last winter. The civics on summer tires were bad enough let alone the "but I have awd/4x4 I don't need...

Daaaang. Sent a text. Have to find out more about this one...

Called and talked to the owner. Someone coming to look at it today and offering cash.
Got on the "wait list" to come look at it.

What's the build like?

Been honestly debating selling my very clean, low mile 80 series to buy a 4x4 van or something that I can sleep in easier in the winter.
If the Crystal fuckery continues...

Man that would be a fun rig

Seems like it'd make more sense in the bed of a tundra or something.
If they'd sell em separate I can see someone doing that

Was just drooling over that when they posted it. Curious about the fabric portion of the pop top though


It's also manual swapped It looks like

Yeah that things been for sale on ExPo for quite a while. Not many interested in it. Doesn't have the whoa factor of a roamer, or the small versatility of something smaller.
I like that it's less...

Been drooling over sportsmobiles today. Where's that one f/s?
Gonna pull the trigger?

[emoji2357][emoji2357][emoji2357]that's what I meant. Need more coffee. Chinhook had the cloth pop top I believe.

Its an old chinhook rv body. Two piece fiberglass!

This would make a pretty rad setup.

Saw this thing on the street. bad picture but I just grabbed it to look into the brand. Ford chassis, 4x4 and not overly gigantic....

Saw it up at baker a while back and drooled hard. Would be super fun to have a rig like that.

I laughed pretty hard at that too. Wonder how POW feels about that.

Isn't that the group of 4 that won some contest and get to just drive that around to ikon resorts and ski all winter?

That doesn't look very winter/snow friendly unfortunately. Cool they're doing it though

Airbags should be used for supplemental spring rate when carrying varying heavy/light loads or towing occasionally NOT as a lift mechanism.

Probably stand on the slider

That thing is rad! Does that top pop?

So rad. I just wouldn't want to deal with RHD.

I like it. I'm gonna have to look into building something like this further down the road with my cruiser build.

The firebrick and tote are enough insulation from the stove to keep...

Ha true.
Last weekend in the sno park everyone was raving about their lil mr buddy heaters in their #vanlife rigs.
I may just keep using the -20 bag and call it good since I'm paranoid about CO...

Nice 100! I'm picking up a set of drawers next week for my 80 to do a similar setup for nights in the snopark to avoid Crystal traffic.
I'm guessing the wood stove helps avoid condensation inside?...

^ nice bigfoot slide in.

This thing is crazy:
...

Not wrong. All I'm saying is I've seen people with F*** you money spend it on dumber stuff

Maintenance is good but doesn't up the value THAT much.
Any modifications to a car you can expect 25-50% back on investment. If that.
See it all the time in the Subaru world. Dudes build 60k...

Saw his for sale post on Instagram a while ago. Got flamed HARD for asking 45k.
Gotta remember for the right person 45k is play money to have a hunting/broverland toy.

+ Instagram

#vanlife brooooooo

You can't be a cool climber or skier if you don't have a sick sprinter!!

Seattle peeps:
https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/rvs/d/oak-harbor-northern-lite-shortbed-camper/6949545546.html

Seems like could be a killer deal!

Kinda. Security mounts that make it harder but then they just cut the bars on the rack. Just shitty it's at that point in Seattle. I need a garage again.
Honestly wondered about it being a homeless...

8x 13mm nuts/bolts. Pain in the ass to bolt down. Can't believe someone got away with it without waking me up.
Would have been easier to break the roof rails but they didn't.

Slightly related but if anyone sees a trail tailor brand rooftop tent pop up for sale let me know.
Stolen off my land cruiser last night in Seattle....

That's dream material.

I've had this thought in my head for a while about finding a single cab tundra and doing the same type of build on it.
