    TC Front window passthrough?

    So, I started working out my design and picking up parts and windows and such for my build. My wife asked me a question that stumped me. I was looking for a window to place in the front of the camper to match up with the rear truck window. She asked me why do you need a window there? I got to...

    Planning on building my own pop-up from ground up.

    Hey all, So I own a 2013 Tundra double cab and I have been searching for a truck camper that will fit into my payload capacity. While I'm sure the Tundra can handle more than it's rating, I'd prefer to play it safe and have my insurance cover me in the event of an accident. My welding ability...
