Bailey's 2010 Tundra - Adventure Build (w/ Trip Photos)

Not sure what the seat delete will weigh once coated and assembled. I'll try to post a final weight

I do know it'll weigh less than the factory seats... those buggers are heavy (145.7lbs | 40% = 53.8lbs, 60% = 91.9lbs)

Here are a few pics of my NWOR (North West Overland Rally) trip so far with Chris M. from TOTAL CHAOS Fabrication.

We camped on National Forest Land near Mammoth Lakes Sunday, Plumas National Forest last night and now we're in Oregon.

More pictures to come...

Thanks

5.7l V8 and I'm averaging 12.5 mpg this trip. I can hit 15-16mpg on flat highways doing 60mph

Installed the Goose Gear Rear Seat Delete just in time for North West Overland Rally

Here it is with some of my gear tied down:

Dang wished I had know you were going to be at the NWOR! The Three Amigos were working clinics, winch line splice/repair, Pull Pal and Safe Xtract. Maybe you did swing by one of our clinics or booth, it was a super busy weekend!

It's hard to leave Washington with camp spots like this

A few days ago I took Imogene Pass up from Telluride to Tomboy. The pass was closed at Tomboy. On Friday morning I took Imogene Pass from Ouray just past Upper Camp Bird Mine (~11,500ft). Had lunch and turned back down. Looks like it'll be a few more days before the entire pass is open.

It was a little rough but I'm happy with how the Tundra and Four Wheel Camper handled everything. Check out some pics below:

I decided to add a safe to the center console of the Tundra. I wanted something secure for certain valuables while maintaining some use of the massive center console

The 07-13 Tundra console safes tend to cost around $300 and take up the entire console. I went with something else for a fraction of the price. Take a look at the pics below

AMAZON | Sentry Safe QAP1E | $74.39

(ignore the mess )

Left Colorado a little early to head East and explore. Currently sitting at a Rest Stop along I-70 in Missouri

I need to be in DC 9/30 to visit the girlfriend but I don't much in the plans before then. Going to cut through Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia (maybe other states too?) I'm hoping to find some free camping along the way.

Haven't taken any pics besides the one above

Traveled through 19 states in just under 10 months of owning my Four Wheel Camper. Going to try and make it 25 states before my 1 year anniversary (11/23). Currently in Pennsylvania

I've been very happy with the way the truck & camper have handled life on the road. The TOTAL CHAOS upper control arms and Elka Suspension have made the truck ride like a dream, especially on long drives.

No complaints about the @Baja Designs lights either. The perimeter lighting has definitely come in handy a few times. I don't really use the XL80s that often since I'm not on the road too much when it's dark.

My tires have over 35k miles on them and will need to be replaced in the spring of next year. Most likely going with the same Toyo ATII in 34x11.5. It's a great tire that has handled anything I've thrown at it.

I will be on the East Coast until the middle of October. Not exactly sure when I'm headed back to CO and how long It'll take me. Having too much fun out here
