Reefry's Prerunner Hawk Build

Sup guys, first time poster here. I’m just a guy who could’nt make up his mind on whether I wanted a long traveled prerunner that eats desert terrain for breakfast or if I wanted an overland adventure rig... so I ended up choosing both. 

Heres the beginning of my mashup. A Y2K Toyota Tundra with the 4.7L V8

Driving from Los Angeles it took me a 6 weeks to get up to Canada. I took my sweet sweet time lol

I unfortunately lost all my pictures spanning from Washington to Vancouver in a computer malfunction but I did get that beer! After that I spent another 6 weeks making my way back down to LA through Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, then finally back home.

Imogene Pass in Colorado is terrifyingly beautiful

Almost immediately upon returning home my dad and I decided to hop on our motorcycles and travel to Colorado and back. But that's another trip report for another time

Please forgive my lack of a single post. I'm only allowed 2 pictures per post due to file size. 

Anyways back to the truck. If there was one thing I learned from the road trip and from living in the camper shell full time after the trip it was definitely the fact that I needed more space. I saw so many FWC's on my roadtrip but never really thought anything of them until... well believe it or not, I had a dream that I had one on my Tundra. I woke up obsessed. The ability to pop the top and get dressed standing up! Or be able to cook indoors. Build a more accessible storage option. It all seemed like my answers and prayers were solved with one single camper.

I made it my goal for years to find one. I sold my camper shell setup, moved into a house and started renting a room. I saved as much as I could and scoured every possible thread, website, and craigslist ad for my future camper. It took what seemed like forever but my patience paid off and I finally found one through the WTW used camper alert thread. By the way, thank all of you who contribute to that thread you're all amazing.

It was such a good deal and a perfect match that I drove all the way to Salt Lake City for it.

It felt like destiny.

This was my second night in the camper on my way back to LA. Utah has the most spectacular view of the night sky with its almost complete lack of light pollution.

This is awesome!

Welcome to the cult, errr....  I mean family
