I recently ended up with this 07 Tundra conversion. It was done by an Engineer buddy of mine who just moved to Hawaii for work and didn’t want to ship this over. I'm now selling this for him and we both hope it goes to someone who can really use it. It’s pretty much one of a kind and was told this was a good place to share this. Hope this forum is the proper place - didn’t see anywhere else to list something for sale like this!! Kind of like to get some feedback anyway. The only mechanical issue is one of the rear suspension bladders needs repair. My buddy was four wheeling and he said it went off like a bomb and startled the crap out of him. Shouldn’t cost too much to fix. It's riding down in the rear in the pictures a bit because of this. There is tons of space inside although its kind of still just a (very) big box inside. My buddy would just throw down his sleeping bag inside and packed the back with bikes, gear etc. I'm actually having a blast driving this thing around here in Santa Barbara looking down at everyone. You get a lot of looks and it starts a lot of conversations. This is very clean and well done. If anyone knows someone who may be interested in continuing this project hook me up. Thanks!!

Interesting.... Not in the market, but some more photos would be nice to get a better feel for what is going on.

I am sure somebody over on expeditionportal.com would be interested in this.
 
Looks like it is sitting a little low in the rear. How heavy is that thing? Might be better with air bags or overload springs. Otherwise nice and sounds like a clean slate inside for someone to finish out.

Noted by the OP.

That makes sense. Shouldn't be hard to get a bladder.



yeah, my buddy thought it would be around $250 to fix. He thought the bladder just came out of the cup but it's hard to tell just by looking. I havent tried to pump them up so its riding on the stops. Still rides pretty well though.
