First Gen Toyota 4Runner Micro Camper Expedition Vehicle

[@jetsgo66]

This is the coolest first gen build I’ve seen. I’ve always wondered if someone had made a custom camper shell and here that person is. Thanks for sharing

[@hankgs]

I can't imagine the TIME to do a build like this.... Well done dude!

[@timeforbigchange9417]

That is some bad ass fabrication buddy. Sweet, love home stuff like this. Creativity feels good. That's a lot better than one of those other 12,000$ pop up campers. You built the Toyota equivalent to a Westfalia volkwagen on a 4Runner.

[@anudhajayakulasuriya5807]

Your mom, my geometry teacher from high school sent this to me. This is so sick and Congrats on the new job. hope to see you someday Parker!

[@devrimhusrevoglu4356]

As a fellow 1st gen owner: this is awesome.

She's a beauty, one in a million!

[@recuit55]

this thing is absolutely insane. the amount of detail put into this, just wow. Amazing stuff!

[@damirjusufovic3707]

Truly a house on wheels - well designed and welding work there very well done, so many tiny areas and all just look big with all storage. 5/5 stars on creativity and execution. 😎 Very cool Build.

[@abba1324]

Absolutely incredible design and craftsmanship!

[@emilflognoid1532]

Ive had 2 gen 1 4runners... someday i wasn't too build a camper out of one. Cool build!

[@wesc4054]

Please leave this up forever there's so much good content here Thank you for posting it.

[@lukasfancy4109]

I’m so blown away from the craftsmanship and every small detail put into it. You really thought of everything, the gas tank system so cool, safety, live ability, damn bro soo sick. Guess you must do this for a living?

He's is most definitely an engineer.

[@ParkerWismar]

Thanks! And kinda, I just graduated as a mechanical engineer and am trying to find a job in the off road industry

[@yotalicious]

Absolutely Yotalicious! I'm excited to build a camper onto our Diesel Solid Axle Tacoma for our Channel now!

Wow! great job everything is cleverly done from chassis up ,impressive

[@scubbarookie]

This 1st gen Camper is so awesome! From all the details in the video description, it must have been a labor of love! I don't know if I could ever part with such a nice rig. I became an instant subscriber after seeing this... It just so great, and reliable! You've got some serious engineering skills, my friend! Take good care and Happy New Year! 🌆🌌🗻🏞🌄🏕🏜🏖

[@stanw909]

Great way to launch your kayaks. Straight off the front and into the water.

[@radfourrunner8840]

Good Job, and clean truck, and nice mods! Just one thing ... Quilting may break waterproof coating on Sunbrella material and wick rain into insulation.

[@GR8SCOTT]

I just became your 200th Subscriber!!! Looking forward to watching this over and over again!!! I'm about to venture out in my 85 4Runner!!! This has given me lots of ideas!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@rawiridixon4430]

If you wanted to step up the battery just a bit more . Switch the engine isolator with a vsr voltage sensing relay, automatic. And then a victron smart solar controller. With sunpower solar panels

[@ParkerWismar]

Good to know! I'll have to look into that for future builds

[@christopherrodriguez7579]

Its amazing ,innovative to the 1st gen 4runner (cut tops)

[@gaiazyme]

Absolutely brilliant

[@conormiller3662]

Awesome build!! Great attention to detail!

[@silverrunner8687]

[@radfourrunner8840]

Love what u did with the roll-up rear window that relies on electricity to work and tailgate. Someone on yotatech says removing the glaas and mechanism eliminated about 23 pounds.

[@dominica2765]

[@ParkerWismar]

they're 31x10.5r15s, and the wheels are factory second gen sr5 15's

[@randywilson6869]

My best part of the video is it showed his wife sitting on a trailer and then he popped it up and he said there is going to b a lot of up and down on this part

[@williamhussey1611]

Really hope you either get what you want for it. Or decide not to sell it. Hope you are able to do the Pan am highway.

[@chrispeters4981]

My only problem with it and this is a huge problem is that it's not mine well done

[@jonathanjdm4forlife187]

I love watching this video. It's a dream truck... best wishes to the luck new owner... did this stay stateside?

[@ParkerWismar]

Yep! Some guys living and exploring out of it near grand junction, co

[@Hateline]

The net is the way to go i hung an old fishing net up in my 86 and it holds all kind of crap still doesnt obstruct my rearview mirror

[@alexandertorres5809]

I want to buy some rims for my 89 but I have a dilemma with are better the 15 7JJ (10) OR 15 7 JJ 8 Offset ? Please let me know if you know what will be better tx.

[@surfnstocks2998]

love what you did to your 4runner. I am wondering if you could tell me what sending unit you used for the indicator light for your axillary fuel tank. Thankful for any help

[@ParkerWismar]

Its a stainless steel 1/8 npt float switch from amazon- www.amazon.com/Madison-M5000-Stainless-Miniature-Pressure/dp/B00909365S/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=stainless+steel+float+switch&qid=1621871160&sr=8-4 I mounted it at the bottom of the tank on a custom tube that fits into the factory sending unit spot on the top of the tank. Be sure to use gasoila to seal it up, its the only thing that will seal the threads and stop gas from getting in and ruining the float switch

[@surfnstocks2998]

@@ParkerWismar thank you! I am also wondering how/ where did you connect from the auxiliary tank to the original tank?

[@ParkerWismar]

@@surfnstocks2998 they’re connected at the filler neck by a big t piece right next to the stock gas tank that then has a filler hose extend across the tunnel over to the secondary tank. The fill tube from the secondary to primary rank comes out of the factory pump outlet side on the secondary tank (I just got a metric thread to npt to barbed fitting to eliminate custom hoses) and into a barbed fitting that I welded into the top of the fuel pump holder on the original tank. It then just dumps down into the tank from there. I thought about plumbing into the factory return line and using a check valve to stop back flow but didn’t want to risk messing up the factory fuel system

[@surfnstocks2998]

@@ParkerWismar I got that part but I am wondering about when you transfer gas from Auxiliary tank over to main tank. I got the filling setup

[@surfnstocks2998]

Sorry if I was unclear and thank you for your help

[@ronp1155]

nice work

[@tomb5396]

Looks great, love the retro stripe. How much lift overall? 4"? I think the 1st gen have the cleanest look

[@ParkerWismar]

Thanks! Probably a 1.5 to 2 in lift, ome t bars and springs. It changes by an inch or two depending how much weight is in the truck

[@GratefulEd907]

[@nicostrappazon]

@@ParkerWismar wow! How much did you put into the custom top?

[@ParkerWismar]

@@nicostrappazon a lot more than I probably should have haha, a rough guess just for the pop top would be 3-4K in materials plus 160 hours. If I were to do it again I would get a gfc tent and bolt it on or make a custom tubular base

[@bensumners6601]

Sick build! Which temp gauge did you go with and where are you getting the temp from? I tried one that was inline on radiator hose but it never really worked.

[@ParkerWismar]

thanks! Its just the standard auto parts store one, I threaded it into the factory temp guage port on the intake manifold. Lost the factory gauge but I didn't trust it anyways

How much would charge to build it

[@ParkerWismar]

More than it would be worth for now! I don't have the shop space or tooling to build these at a profitable production level at the moment. The current process is extremely labor intensive

[@brando6136]

How is the camper part being supported to the rest of the truck?

[@ParkerWismar]

It’s just bolted to the factory topper mounts (it’s a 80s 4Runner so they came with a removable topper). All the furniture and stuff is fully welded into the floor and body for max strength

[@brando6136]
