Greg loves camping and found, after years of RV travel, that he wanted to reach more off-road destinations. So he converted a Toyota Sunrader into a 4×4 overland motorhome capable of going where standard RVs can’t.
The rig features a full-sized bed over the cab that lifts to allow access from the living area to the driver’s seat. There’s also a kitchenette, a couch that folds into a bed, and plenty of storage. He even used maps as wallpaper throughout the interior.

Great build and it appears to me more affordable than the ready made 4×4. Well done.
I rarely comment on posts. But I’ve had an interest in motorhomes since I learned to walk. I’ve renovated every kind of recreational vehicle they make. This Toyota 4×4 conversion had me drooling! He did such a great job; I wouldn’t change a thing! In fact, I heard him mention “if I ever want to sell it”. Well, I’d be first in line! I absolutely love it! Kudos to the owners of this beauty! ??
