    Camper sold 1/13 Selling our basically new (mfg 8/18) Four Wheel Camper Hawk shell in order to simplify our travel setup. We spend much of the year traveling with our Casita and added the FWC earlier this year to serve as a mobile office. We've decided to go a different direction for next...

    Snugtop Xtra Vision shell and Decked drawers for 2016 Ram 2500 6.5' bed

    We travel full time and live out of our Casita camper that we pull with our 2016 Ram Power Wagon. We've decided to add a truck camper to the mix - putting on an addition, so to speak - and need to find a new home for our Decked drawer system and Snugtop Xtra Vision camper shell. A bit of info...

    FWC Hawk Shell Dimensions?

    Hi! We are a family of three + dog who travel full time with our Power Wagon and Casita 17 Spirit Standard. As I work from the road, I've been stewing lately on the possibility of picking up a FWC Hawk Shell to build out and use as an office / guest house. Living with a toddler in less than 100...

    Full-time traveling family looking for ideal tow vehicle for small camper

    Hello fellow adventurers! Quite a lot has changed since I've last posted on this forum. In that time, we've left our traditional home behind to live in a Class A diesel pusher and travel. I've gone from living alone to married with a 16mo old daughter. We currently travel with our two dogs, an...

    FWC on a 2013 Tacoma regular cab? Looking for advice...

    We have a 2013 Tacoma regular cab (went with the slouchy 4-speed auto for buckets) and I really do love the 'little' truck. Right now, I've got a commercial grade Snugtop with windoors, but I went to look at some FWC offerings over the weekend and feel pretty smitten with that setup. First off...

    2013 Tacoma Reg Cab - minimum lift - which OME spring?

    Hey gang! I think I have convinced myself to put an ARB front bumper on my new Tacoma (had one on JK, loved it), but I think it may ask a bit much of the stock springs with the combined weight with winch. I have settled on an M8000 with synthetic, which puts combined weight (guessing) in the...

    Help finding a thread: H3 with slick custom gear storage, etc

    Hey gang, I am looking for a thread that I think I saw some time ago somewhere on expo. I believe it was a red H3, but it had a really trick custom expo setup that the owner built. The setup included built in water storage with an electric pump and swivel faucet. Does that ring any bells? I am...

    245/75 16 (stock) or 235/85 16 tires on a 2.7 Tacoma?

    Hey gang! I purchased my new 2013 regular cab Tacoma last week and absolutely love it. The modifications have already begun, as I've got my Snugtop ordered, tossed in my old Scangauge II and a set of Weathertechs, etc. I will do a build thread as I plan on putting a lot of time in planning up a...

    Austrailian-style flat bed canopy options for Tacoma in US?

    I tried searching on this, but came up short. If I missed something, please feel free to point me in the right direction. One of the great things about flipping through Australian 4wd Action is seeing really well thought-out builds. It seems that there are a number of manufacturers that build...

    Am I crazy? I am lusting after a 2013 2.7 Tacoma regular cab, but is it healthy?

    That pretty much says it. I finally decided to sell my JKU so that I may get a 2.7L Tacoma 4x4 regular cab. What's worse is I'm even leaning toward the automatic for convenience and buckets. I spent a couple of hours in one over the weekend and loved it. Regular cab Tacomas consistently cause me...

    Custom built trailers in Colorado (Denver/CoSprings/etc)?

    As a follow-up to my "which welder" question, I was wondering if there are any custom built trailers (with their builders) somewhere in my expanded neighborhood? I am in Castle Rock, CO and I would love it if I could come check out a build or two if you are local, or within a couple of hours...

    Best welder for scratch-built trailer project?

    Hello friends, I've been tooling about on the trailer forum for a while - a long while - and I've been inspired to spend some time building something of my own. The catch is that, while I'm quite handy, I have almost zero experience with welding. I would like to see what kind of welders you all...

    LC100/LX470 vs GX470 vs 4Runner Trail Edition (new)

    Hey gang! Well, due to some reliability issues I've been having with my Jeep, I'm thinking of parting ways with my 2012 Wrangler Unlimited. The bummer is I've spent about 15k (probably more) on AEV goodies, etc kitting it up the way I like, but it is spending far too much time at the dealership...
