    Another Tacoma Build (Brian's 2015 DCLB)

    I'm also looking at this roof rack for the cab of the truck. I like the integrated fairing and the side panels that may aid in pushing the wind around and not let it beat directly onto the camper (it I can get 1-2mpg increase I'd be happy). The guy is out of the Salt Lake City area so I may be...

    Another Tacoma Build (Brian's 2015 DCLB)

    Hey Brian, the build is looking good. My next purchase will probably be the sliders from Wheelers, but I also might see what Relentless Fabrication can do for me. On the subject of the top box, just wanted to give some input. I've run the Yakima Skybox 16 on mine. I found moving it just...

    Toyota Tacoma Short Bed DC and FWC Finch

    Great, I'll keep that one in mind. Just did a few days camping in Pismo. Nice on Sunday night when half the people left. Here's a pic of our last night camp.

    I've used the airbags and have not been impressed. I can understand some instances where they might be helpful, but I just am not interested in going down that road again.

    Toyota Tacoma Short Bed DC and FWC Finch

    Not really. i think my setup is handling the weight very well. I would like to see the difference between a Deaver, or similar custom leaf pack, and my current OME with the extra leaf. I sent OME distributor an inquiry about putting in an extra add-a-leaf (to the one I already installed), or...

    Toyota Tacoma Short Bed DC and FWC Finch

    Now this is a cool one-off FWC http://www.truckcampermagazine.com/off-road-expeditions/the-fuso-four-wheel-camper Too bad they aren't interested in doing it as a regular model. That and too bad my wife has no sense of humor whatsoever when I showed her the picture...

    Toyota Tacoma Short Bed DC and FWC Finch

    The Fleet (flatbed or standard) and the Eagle are all designed for the longbed Tacoma. Although I have seen an Eagle and a Fleet on the shortbed, it hangs out from the bed 18" and looks way too big in my opinion. There is a rental company in Peru that rents out a Toyota (Hilux I think)/Eagle...

    Toyota Tacoma Short Bed DC and FWC Finch

    Cab roof rack I came across this company in another thread and was wondering if anyone has dealt with them. http://www.prinsudesignstudio.com/#!products/c1m4k Specifically looking at this one http://www.prinsudesignstudio.com/#!tacoma-cabrac/chjh I like the BajaRack style which is very...

    Toyota Tacoma Short Bed DC and FWC Finch

    Thanks. It was on the lot. In fact I had the option for the DCSB sport, or the off-road, chose the latter for the factory rear locker option. The Toyota dealer in Reno did not have one on the lot, but they did a search and could have gotten me one in a few weeks and for about $500 extra in...

    Getting closer to pulling the trigger, have a few questions.

    I have a Toyota Tacoma and FWC Finch. I found a small trailer at Lowes for about $300 so I can put the jacks on the camper, take it off the truck, and pull forward then drop the camper onto the trailer. The camper/trailer is then backed into the garage with room to spare (I have a 2 1/2 car...

    Toyota Tacoma Short Bed DC and FWC Finch

    I really think the upgrades we made in the suspension has made all the difference in the world. I've experienced the "rock and roll" of a failed airbag "suspension", as well as, just the constant tinkering with the airbags (I've had two different brands - same results) - not good. A well...

    FWC rear wall bike mounts

    With the LED rear lights (option) I have on the back I'm slightly limited as this was what I was thinking about doing as well. By bringing down the bar, it would unfortunately block the door. I've also thought about mounting the forks to the top Yakima rack by moving the bar back as far as I...

    FWC rear wall bike mounts

    MWE racks (www.mweracks.com) makes a nice adapter that can make a traditional hitch mounted rack a swing out version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1lJ38n2v6k - but I was trying to stay away from that as I have and adventure m/c that I'm thinking about towing from time to time on some type...

    FWC rear wall bike mounts

    I was trying to solicit some ideas (pics included) of ways to mount bikes to the back wall of a Four Wheel Camper. I have a hitch mounted bike rack and a Yakima rack on top, but, as there are pitfalls to either setup, I was trying to find others who have made the modification to their FWC to...

    Toyota Tacoma Short Bed DC and FWC Finch

    During the initial part of the camper build I had been doing some perusing of sites, and I came across a posting by Rocky Mountain FWC regarding a Tacoma DC/Finch combo like mine. I learned the Tacoma had a OME Dakar spring pack like mine, but they had added the extra leaf available from OME...

    While we were on the vacation, I got a call from Eric at Relentless Fabrication to let me know my front bumper was done. When we got home I got everything set up to get the bumper on. That included a quick trip to 4Wheel Parts for a winch. I found out there was a sale on the 12K lb model...
