    I decided to build my own Pop Top camper

    I haven't done anything new to the camper other than use it and abuse it. I did some work to the truck however in the form of a lift and new wheels and tires. I went with an OME BP-51 lift with OME Dakar heavy springs in the rear. Also added some Wheeler's Off Road Bump Stops. The difference in...

    Gladiator Pop-Up Pass Through Camper Build

    Looks fantastic! It's quite the rewarding feeling seeing all your hard work pay off. I'm still curious on your reports of flexing once you hit the trails.

    They make one called the plusnut that will work up to a half inch. I've ordered some to use on my fiberglass Tacoma bed.

    Alternator upgrade in ‘87 4Runner

    Look into a Cadillac 500 alternator. I believe mine bench tested at 190amp and using a trail gear chevy to toyota alternator it will fit. You'll never lack for power. The idling amp is what really matters and most of the repalcement higher amperage alternators still only have 40amp idle.

    I decided to build my own Pop Top camper

    I suppose it's time to update my thread. I've been rocking and rolling on getting my truck and camper ready for my trip to AZ. I've installed SPC UCAs and new tires. I'm now running 285/70 R17 BFG M/T and that required a body mount chop. When I get to the expo I plan on replacing my old worn...

    Gladiator Pop-Up Pass Through Camper Build

    So for me as someone living in the PNW. I have 2 100w solar panels on the roof. Those feed into a Renogy 30amp dc to dc charge controller. Then my starter battery also feeds into the dc to dc charge controller so I can charge with the alternator or solar. When in camp my system loads will use...

    Gladiator Pop-Up Pass Through Camper Build

    Have you fitted the camper to the truck and driven around yet to see how it does with the flex? I know on a tacoma the bed flexes quite a bit more than you may suspect. If it were me personally i'd test that before putting more time and money into it. As far as the above setup goes. Do you not...

    My DIY OVRLND-style Pop Up Camper

    Metal would be the way to go. Yes my drip edge has been holding strong since September last year. I have had to make one repair, but luckily it's duct tape and I carry spare roll with me. I've honestly been impressed with how well it has held up.

    My DIY OVRLND-style Pop Up Camper

    I can confirm that the canvas does help with the front to back movement. I recently moved my struts to the sides as well. The camper is looking great. You could try running bungee material in the drip edge to keep it tight.
