    Is there not a way to install a hard-side without external tie-downs? Model specific?

    Torqlift are sold in pairs, fronts and backs, the tie downs themselves also come 2 per set Edit- sometimes you need different length tiedowns on the front vs the back, due to where the brackets are located. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    Is there not a way to install a hard-side without external tie-downs? Model specific?

    The red truck uses a bracket that goes in the stake pocket of the bed, it is in my opinion a poor way of doing it. Happijack( the other major brand besides torklift) has mounts that goes between the cab and the bed, it involves some drilling of the bed. You still need to have the tiedowns go...

    Is there not a way to install a hard-side without external tie-downs? Model specific?

    The torqlift tiedown brackets bolt to the frame and are tucked away under the truck. The rears are up pretty high, but the fronts hang down a bit (not lower than the drive shaft on my rig). They are like mini receiver mounts and the tiedowns slide into the brackets and are secured with a pin, at...

    Personally I would want an easy way to get the camper off, in case you had to jack the truck up, or maybe Jetson the camper in an emergency ( run out of beer ect) Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    Is there not a way to install a hard-side without external tie-downs? Model specific?

    Forgot to say that installation is simple, uses existing bumper bolts and some existing frame holes, no drilling or welding. Just need sockets and wrenches up to 1"(for my truck anyway) Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    I just put torqlift tie down points on my Ram for $399 with free shipping thru Amazon. The actual tie downs are between $150 and almost $400 for fastguns. ( spring loaded quick release type) Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    Truck camper payload question?

    The payload on new trucks includes people, 4 people at 150# is 600# less camper that you can haul.

    My Taco Phoenix Pop Up Camper

    Hope you enjoy it, it looks like an awesome rig. I originally had a deposit on one when I had my smaller truck, I since upgraded trucks and don't need custom. The custom paint always made me nervous, kind of got the impression they just closed the door and sprayed everything...

    Self-serving pop-up TC thread

    The fit and finish on the several Northstar I have looked at is better than other brands. You will seldom hear of any issues such as leaks, squeaks, things that dont fit/work. The couple of issues I have heard about were fixed asap. I also looked at the Livin lites/ they seem rugged and...

    Any pop-up truck campers that aren't obscenely wide? Trying to find the ideal one

    North Star popups are 7' wide, which is narrower than many, but they dont show up around here used too often, not sure about Texas. If you really need to stay the same width as the truck, you may be stuck with just a cap with a sleep platform on top of drawers.

    F-150 to carry a hardside camper

    Just took another look at 2014 f150, a 2wd reg cab can have 3100# payload, that's 700 more than my 12 Ram 2500 crew 4x4

    F-150 to carry a hardside camper

    Didn't see it mentioned but you can order the f150 with 8200 gvw and like 2200 payload,but when I priced it out, it was cheaper to get a Ram 2500 that have more features and capacity. I am looking at a Northstar Arrow that weighs a couple hundred pounds more than what you are looking at,and...
