A customer showed up with this SA-WEEET live-axled Toyota motor home. Have you ever wanted to build and wheel something like this before?

You could wheel all day and them cook and sleep in comfort!

I would sleep in it on the trail but I probably wouldn't do any real wheeling in it. Trails would get small real fast with that much back end...

I think it would be cool for an expeditonary vehicle, but might run into high cog issuues rock crawling

I would rock some of the Fire Breaks around here with that.  I wouldn't try any off camber stuff, or you'd be on your side.  But I wouldn't be afraid to take it off-road.  It would need some gears and a doubler.

I saw a pretty sweet first gen here in town a couple years ago.  And it looked like it had a 4" lift and 33"s.   

33"s would be a pretty sweet setup on those.  Cause BFG does the 33x9.50-15 and a 33x12.50-15.  Run the wider one on front, and dual up the 9.50's on the rear. 


And Mike, I spy some Oregon Salmon plates on that rig.  What part of Oregon was he from?

Thought about a Sunraider, they are light and short, also the popup Chinooks would be nice but you'd still have some big limits on where you could take one.

Hahaha imagine what an exo cage would look like on that.

I would like to post a picture of mine four wheeling from this last weekend but I don't have any options for posting a photo on here I know nothing about these things I'm completely computer illiterate. I have an 85 Toyota sunrader 4 x 4 motorhome that I've taken four wheeling a couple times
