Thanks. I have a hunt in early November and want to get it at least bare bones functional in time. It’s gonna be close. I have “grand” plans beyond that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got a little paint on the camper tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For some reason this project has really caught on with my boys. I think they like the saws. See if they have any interest once the wood work is done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Decided I couldn’t stomach the tie downs on the bumper and can’t justify the cost of the frame mounts so I narrowed up the rear end to allow me to tie down to eye bolts through the floor of the bed. I saw FWC do a YouTube demo on this and figure if they stand by it I should be able to trust it...

I put the camper on the truck tonight to check clearance and possible bolting down options. Still confused about what I’m going to do to bolt it down. I also have clearance issues with 2 of the angle brackets the jacks attach to. I’m going to add a 1/2” to the bottom and adjust the brackets...

Yeah I hate that I needed to create a hollow space. It is all screwed together so as I see things come together I'll likely insulate it. I'm also hoping to create a few hatches for storage . Thanks for your input. I'm thinking of skipping the power from the truck and just setting up the...

A couple questions to anyone: Looking around the internet and tie down options I have a few questions. I see that the front and rear tie downs should be opposite each other angle wise. Is there a prevailing thought on which one should be angled which direction? (Keeping in mind my camper will...

Was able to get a little skin on it tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven’t been around this forum for a while. It seems like the best resource for my current project. I picked up this Hallmark for $400. Structurally it’s in decent shape but it had been infested by mice and after an initial cleaning it still has quite an odor. I’ll work on that some more once...

I had the hubs so cost is really the new rims/tires. Thanks for the reply. I need a sanity check. Dumping the trailer here in states doesn't worry me too much but i would like to be running a tighter rig in Mexico.

Here is frame before any work done.

I'm calling on your help here. I took frame off my camper to work on frame and wheels, add shocks and add some gerry can racks and a new bumper. My plan is to change hubs from 4 by 4 - 13" to 5 by 4.5 - 15". I will put on a 28-29" tire. The axle is 2000# Dexter. The shell in the pic weighs...

SO here is a question for you guys that have rebuilt a camper including a new frame. My camper is registered and the VIN is stamped on the tongue. I'm going to built a new frame to go under the camper. What do you do to transfer the registration if you want to sell the old frame? I hope I'm...

That was sure some well thought out ADVICE.

. . "The next morning I told him we would be heading home. This brightened him up. He started packing up his toys and putting them in his bag. It brought a smile to my face watching him. There was a weight on my shoulders from his mood earlier and watching him now brought a smile to my face...

I'm very sensitive to the issue due to an unfortunate accident that I won't go into. Big old bomber down sleeping bags are safe and free of mechanical defects. I barely care what other people do inside their own rigs but my wife and i would never be able to sleep with that thing running. Just...

It was an unfortunate typo. Shameful i know. It just seemed strange that the post ended after saying that he would let everyone know how it worked out. The heating is something I've been struggling with as well. I have 2 small children and use a Mr. Heater sparingly.

Reading this thread I can only assume this was a hoax. Anyone else have this thought? Two baby cribs and a dog in a closed space with a cat heater?

Yeah I'm confused. Is there a TRD Pro price available? If so I'de like to know. Or more specifically the 4Runner TRD Pro price.

Great advice. Ill def take it. Have no desire to create penetrations.
