3 YEARS Living OFF-Road in a 1982 Toyota Sunrader

Subscribe: / @cheaprvliving
For the past three years, Bradley has enjoyed the freedom of full-time off-road living in his 1982 Toyota Sunrader. He spent two years carefully transforming it from a gutted RV shell with standard 2-wheel drive into a rugged 4x4 cozy home complete with a wood stove. With enough provisions, Bradley is equipped to stay in the backcountry for 2-3 weeks at a time!

    Yeah I spotted him a while back. In this video he mentions the bigger motor but didn't specify what it was. This thing actually came with the old 22r 4 cylinder which for this was obviously grossly underpowered. He put in the 3.4 V6 that was used in 3rd gen 4Runner's and 1st gen Tacoma's. (If you opted for the V6 package)

    Superb quality notwithstanding, the vehicle chassis is already over 40 years old, which is long past its natural life. Maintain something that old could be an issue as parts would be obsolete.

Also, putting the fridge up front is such a good idea. It saves space and you can have a cold drink while you are driving. hahaha

    Hi! I've been looking for where to post this, so I guess this video will have to do. On Amazon you have a video from a very helpful lady about how to fold the Abco Pop Up Tent, and I want to thank you and her for making that video available. Amazon has plenty of videos from helpful people eager to show us how to do it. Well, I watched a few of them and got nowhere. One guy folded his tent beyond the camera frame, a couple of others did it so fast I have no idea what they did. But that lady.... ohh, she is wonderful! Particularly that part about where to put your hands on the tent and how to bring them together. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
