If you have and have found something related to GVWR, I'd be very interested in seeing it. If you mean insurance on the upgrades to the truck and the camper itself, then ya... that won't be covered unless you've specifically included them.

There is an amazing amount of space underneath the camper! That's about 13" square that runs the full width behind the cab. Planning to put an auxiliary fuel tank and water tank in there, plus a propane tank on the right side of the frame a little further back. There will be side fairings in...

That does sound confusing. At any rate this isn't an option in most states. And it is quite ridiculous to have a random mechanic do this... especially for such a large amount GVWR. In IL I think you could alter your GVWR on registration, but this was mostly for commercial users who wanted to...

Thought this was an interesting article, in light of many GVWR discussions. Apparently in PA you can get a mechanic to sign off on upping your GVWR so you'll be "legal". I don't know if this is possible in any other state...

If you want to spend $$$. EDIT: Forgot ExPo won't do Amazon links. This would be a low budget option, Smittybuilt clone: VEVOR 6CFM Tire Inflator with Pressure Gauge, 12V Heavy Duty Air Compressor 150PSI Portable Tire Inflator for Car, SUV, RV, Truck For up to 35 Inch Tires Hard to beat Viair...

I think this will be my next set. Great price for a large 35". https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nitto-Dura-Grappler-305-70R18-126-R-Tire/44861228 Yes, air down for washboard. That means a good pump to air up when you are on pavement.

This thread or others might be more informative: https://www.tundras.com/threads/3rd-gen-suspension-lift-mega-thread.108483/page-48 People have installed 35" tires with no lift and no rub. I did that even on the previous generation which has less clearance. Just need to think before you buy...

It's intended to confuse people who are ignorant of suspension, so you will give them $$$. You don't need *any* lift... but you might as well do <2" on the front if you are getting new shocks. And on the rear you don't need to lift it, just get springs that will retain stock ride height with...

A whole bunch of stuff that is intended to compensate for the lift being too high. Stick with 1.5-2" and better shocks, with heavier springs, and be happy.

And front springs, different damping levels, etc... Even different spring colors.

Yes, even if you decide you don't need the reservoirs or adjustable height and damping, a set of 4 skinny non-reservoir, non adjustable damping, but lift adjustable shocks... will set you back <$1000. They will perform just as well and probably better than the Toyota kit that costs $4k. If you...

I didn't see any details but they sounded similar to the Bilsteins they put on earlier Pros, which were not adjustable for height or damping, unlike higher tier aftermarket shocks. You can also get aftermarket shocks with custom damping from the start. In addition, I think a 3" lift is excessive...

There was an article on ExPo regarding a build with the very light Tern camper on a Tacoma. The Tacoma was well built, but with an eye to weight savings... but still ended up being 7200 lbs when loaded for travel, which is ~2600 lbs over stock curb, and ~1600 lbs over GVWR. And they wheeled it...

I got the camper mounted to the truck a couple weeks ago, and took it on a trip. Still a lot to do, but so far so good. The poly isolator pivot system seems to work well. I'm trying to figure out how to use the ridiculous amount of space underneath the camper, particularly at the front. Man, I...

Maybe so! BTW... you mentioned extra leaves on the rear... any details on what that consists of?

No experience, but... the phase change when water boils might be detectable. Say if temperature is increasing, then pauses for awhile at the boiling point of water until it's vaporized, then continues rising.

Hack it. You don't have to figure out how yourself, just look up someone else who has. It's annoying, but... Does the SCREW cost extra, or is it a freebee? 🤪
