    Nice Brian! is it a fixed top or pop up? looks to be fixed... I still can't decide if i'm going to get a pop top or not.
    what year? gasser or diesel? 4x4 or 2wd?


    My 4x4 drivetrain conversion was completed last month but have yet to take it off road.
    next mod for me is 2011+ Toyota Sienna 2nd row captains chairs and sound proofing and insulation.

    It's 2x and gas. The top is the fixed Voyager top from Sportmobile. The interior is the full deal....fridge, sink, stove, bed. Swivel driver and passenger. The thing looks like new inside and out......you can barely tell it's been driven.

    We don't really have any mods planned for it....and we probably won't need any. It'll mostly see highway miles and the interior is already perfect. Ski racks are really the only priority.....I'll need to come up with something for the side....possibly mounted to the ladder.

    Brian - Let me know if you need racks... I might have something that will work... best price and cheap of course

    Nice ride. Like you need something that you can sleep in? What's wrong with the Element, are you getting old and need a bed?

    Now that I've got a family(meaning a girlfriend and two dogs).....the Element was a little cramped on longer drives. Also, sleeping with the dogs in there was tricky at best. Furthermore....we've been a 1 car household for 9 months and needed a second vehicle of some sort. This beauty takes care of both situations.

    Racks....roof racks? I might be interested in them if you have something that will fit.....

    Sweet! much better pics!
    I see that you are planning to go to the SoCal Mountain Rendezvous? should be fun!
    I've done nothing but spend money on repairs since returning from my Oregon road trip.
