Bandeirante Camping & Overlanding Setup

Transforming the toyota-bandeirante into a capable overlanding and camping vehicle.

Approach

Taking this step by step, starting with the basics and expanding based on actual use and needs. Better to understand what I actually need through experience than to over-build.
