Designed for the forest lover who wants to get lost in the woods.
With the very capable 4X4 drivetrain, you can go off-road even in winter to ski/snowboard or camp in spots that most vans or cars can't reach.
Blends into the natural surroundings with the textured military green & black aesthetic
The combo of vintage features with modern tech equipment, rebuilt and resurfaced interior makes it one unique home on wheels!

Mechanical:
Highly-sought after 2.8L 4JB1-T 4-cylinder Turbo Diesel engine.
4WD with 4-Hi and 4-Lo with auto-locking hubs
5-speed manual transmission (I can't express how fun it is to drive a stick 4X4 motorhome in snow)
20-22 mpg!!! (I add diesel fuel cleaner and it increases the fuel economy by 10%)
60K (mostly highway) original miles. The engine has been serviced regularly and is in excellent condition.
Despite the 4800lb weight, it pushes 110hp @3600rpm. Yes, you can't zoom past mountain passes at 60mph with the 2.8L, but do you really need to? Cruise, take in the views and enjoy the ride - if that's you, this rig is a dream home!

Upgrades
New Timing Belt (Hardest part to obtain and install, you're good to go for another 60K miles!)
New Rocker Arm Assembly
New Glow Plugs
New Gaskets all around the engine
Coolant and Transmission fluid freshly flushed and replaced
New Tailpipe and Muffler
New 2-inch lift kit installed
Value in parts - $4,500
Value in labor - $6,800


Interior:
Thorough interior remodeling creates a soothing, homely atmosphere to relax in after a long day of hiking/biking/skiing!
The kitchen and bathroom are conveniently located in the rear opening up 85% of the space in the camper to move around freely.
Full size bed above the cab and another foldable queen size bed in the camper. The camper can sleep 4 people easily, and if your friends are into cuddling, you can fit 6. We've definitely fit 5 :)
2-seat and a dinette table converts into a bed, completing the roll-over couch bed. You can have a half-bed with table up, or a queen-size bed with the table down. You choose the vibe :)
The bed above the cab also folds back, making the cab area more accessible.
All cushions have custom-made sage-green washable covers and offer a cozy-comfy sleeping experience.

Upgrades
The original layout designed by the Japanese was aesthetically pleasing, but... The carpeted floor/walls, fiberglass insulation, flimsy wall/ceiling panels, and outdated plywood finish was outdated (Refer to images at the bottom).

So we remodeled:
Ripped the wall panels apart, replaced the older damaged panels with newer ones
Pulled most of the fiberglass out and replaced with Havelock wool insulation
Installed wooden planks to the ceiling
Painted and stained the interior with non-toxic paint and natural stain.
Ripped the carpet out (Insanely laborious!) and installed new vinyl, water-resistant floor.
Built new shelves and spice racks
Covered the kitchen walls with waterproof stick-on tiles.
