    12v power for Project M (and others) with Dewalt batteries

    Maybe this has been covered.. We have a minimally wired Project M... just the 4 interior led strips, no hookup to truck battery or solar. You can get a converter off ebay that puts out 12v and has two usb ports for phone charging and works off a Dewalt 20v battery (and probably others). These...

    FWC's 'sprung' at the front/top... what's the deal?

    Just got back from looking at a newer FWC and it has an issue I've seen quite a few times. The top is 'sprung' at the front so the roof is no longer flat, but curves upward slightly as though it's been caught by the wind or something. It can be seen from the side and the front, where the seals...

    Four Wheel Camper hard side/hard top info

    Not much on this site (or anywhere) about them. Anyone have any info/thoughts? There's a Hawk for sale that looks pretty decent. I'm curious what the shell would weigh in at. Would make a nice start on a relatively lightweight build. Not fussing with the tent aspect is worth the trade off in...

    Another FWC in the wind thread... whats the Flap Factor on a FWC?

    How are these things in the wind as far as noise from the fabric? A blue tarp flapping in a gale is Flap Factor of 10. Sleeping in a fiberglass topper is Flap Factor of 0. Where does a FWC fit? We camp in a high top topper now on a platform, and its bomber in inclement weather... absolute peace...

    High top topper storage

    Made version 2.0 for the new topper. Out of sight in the rear view. Can still fit 29" bikes upright on platform with front wheels removed. Great place for sleeping pads and bags so the drawer space doesn't get hogged up by them. When the pads and bags are down, makes a great shelf for drinks...

    Older Hawk on a 2006 Tundra DC?

    I have my eyes on an older pre 90's Hawk for a great price. 4wheel has told me only models from 2001 and on will fit. Anyone know a workaround like spacers, slight mods etc, or do the older hawks really not fit no way no how? Thanks, ST

    Canon S90 sensor clean diy how to

    We just got back from the desert, and I had the pleasant surprise of a large black dot on all of our pictures. Cleaning the external surfaces did nothing, and after some quick research I figured we had dust on the sensor. Of course we are well out of warranty, and a cleaning from Canon is $160...

    2006 Tundra DC sleeping platform and storage

    I built this last year after much inspiration from this site. The platform has two full length drawers sliding on Delrin strips. There are two top hatches for each drawer for access when the back is shut. I found the sleeping pads/chairs took up too much drawer space so I made the overhead...

    Need info on old 'Hi lo" hard sided pop up with slide out

    Hello all. I have my eyes on an old hard side pop up with a cab over slide out. This is an aluminum slide in camper. I know I've seen info on this site before, but after an exhaustive search, I can't find anything. I think the company name is Hi-Lo or a variation of that.. any info, links...

    Tips for changing rear first gen Tundra shocks - hard earned

    After bailing on a front 5100 install job, and having the shop do it, I had what was left of my man mojo destroyed by an absolutely epic rear shock change out. I was expecting two bolts and two nuts perpendicular to the shock shaft. Instead, I found the upper mount is vertical in orientation...

    Frustration changing struts 1st gen Tundra

    I know I know. 'Undo 3 tops nuts, take out bottom nut/bolt, remove strut'. NOT! So what's the secret? Trying to put on some 5100's and having zero luck. I bailed on the project when I noticed the bottom bolt comes out part way and then hits the trans axle! Would make a lot of sense to have the...

    Bilstein 5100 adjustable question first gen Tundra

    I've read and been told on this forum that the 5100 adjustable for the front is a good way to improve the stock Tundra ride and get rid on the factory 'rake' when the struts are set to 2". I was under the impression this was 'plug and play' with stock suspension, but the Bilstein site says...

    Kelty Carport good or bad?

    I've read what there is on this site. Seems folks like them, but they are prone to rips at the corners due to to too much tension. I wonder if this was remedied in later iterations. Any additional thoughts? There should be some out there that have some good use by now. They are no longer made...

    '06 Tundra DC quasi kinda 'build'... got some questions

    Hello all. We got rid of my 98 Taco 4 banger and bought an 06 Tundra DC. I'm a mid size 4 banger guy, but oh well. Need room for the kid. Anyways, I have the green light from the wife to do what needs doing so we can have some fun with our two year old. Lots of time in MT, WY, ID, and trips to...
