Look what I got...

Postby wlivesey » Sun Mar 22, 2009 2:40 pm

I got this new 5x10 frame off Craigslist yesterday. It's heavy duty with all new parts. At $500 it was a steal... I think it's going to make a great off road worthy frame. It's a bit heavy but that's okay - I've got plenty of towing capacity on my FJ. Now, what am I going to put on it??? :twisted:

The deck is made out of 2x6 lumber. I was thinking the same thing about a slide-on/off body... I'm not sure yet though as I've already got an old utility trailer for running down to Home Depot. I doubt I would ever actually take the camper off.

Indeed... I'm quite happy with it. I'm thinking of building a Compact Jr. style camper that I can tug around off road.
