That's what I was gonna say. Get whatever engle will fit and you will be stoked for Many years. Mine looks like it was drug behind a rock crawler by now and still keeps food fresher than any residential fridge. Very low power consumption also

2012 doesn't get atrac in that configuration for sure. The LSD does about nothing too. I really haven't been able to tell it isn't open diff on mine. On the up side you get the stronger 8.4 rear end that with an arb will be much tougher than the elocker in the 8". If it has stock tires I'd...

Got any more info on this? I'd be stoked on at least more pics

Mine has a pretty large bench up front behind the cab so the space is shorter than it could be for bikes and I went a lot bigger on cabinetry than I would next time around and I do not disassemble the bikes at all. I put them opposing each other, one front forward and one backwards with the...

I put two bikes in the back of my fwc grandby pretty regularly and also wheel about as hard as you are talking. Dunno if you are long bed or short bed but I think they would fit fine in a hawk as well if you made sure the area in front by the cab was clear. There isn't that big of a...

I think if you guys have good bags (or bag) you will be too warm in no time with the buddy on in a truck shell. I have the little buddy that I have used many nights in my grandby and even in that much space I leave the roof vent open and the doors to the turnbuckles open and I still can't get...

Well you all have exceeded my expectations in participating in this tread. Sounds like between everyone's in site an the Phoenix post it is likely that it probably not a deal breaker having the cab over further forward if you are going to have a cab over at all and may be negligible with a air...

I think my question may have come across wrong. I'm wondering about all things being equal (driving habits, weight, tires, lift ect) will having the cab over further forward make a noticeable difference in aerodynamics/mpg. Javas answers seem to be to the question I am trying to ask, thank...

Thanks for the replies guys. The kayak on the roof hurts mpg because of aerodynamics, right? So should I take that as cab over length won't matter unless it makes more drag like a kayak? I guess I'm confused. That's what im wondering. Someone like you that has experience with multiple...

I have a 2012 tacoma reg cab 4x4 that I am exploring camper options on. Question is, does anybody know if there would be a difference in mpg between having the overhang be 4' or 3'? 4' would be past the roof line a little but while experimenting with plywood I had to lean forward to see it from...

Man, you've done it this time. I stumbled across an f 150 that had a cherry interior while looking for a door panel for my 90 f350 idi at the junkyard. I knew it would be Money cheap but tedious but had to do it. Only thing I can say is I can relate to exactly how you feel. If you haven't...

On a rc taco do people still opt for the extended cab over (4' ?). If so is there any negative feed back like humming from the aerodynamics or not being able to see up at things like traffic lights. The cool part about a fleet is that you can sleep sideways and with the longer overhang you can...

Thanks for the replies. They keep saying you can only use auxiliary hd space with a limited number of third party apps. Motion x and any of the other navigational aids would be third party so mabe I should ask them. Thank you ol' scott for the camera kit tip,that sounds good. Seems unlikely...

Anyone have any experience with any of the wi fi hard drives like the seagate for an ipad/iphone? For $200 for a tb it looks like you could have quite an extensive set of maps, movies, pics, ect with you out on the road. Im not quite sure if the idevice would need to be jailbroken or not. I...

Well for anyone considering exploring Peru by overland camper that is not in the position to drive their own rig, I would highly recommend rvperu. We recently got back from 5 weeks in Peru with a month in the camper an it was amazing. The level of service you receive from Alberto and his...

That is exactly what I wanted to hear:victory:. His outfit seems pretty legit but I thought I would poke around to make sure. Thank you Stan for the endorsement. Sounds like a great opportunity. Congratulations fwc for getting these campers out to places like peru and around the world.

Ya, I heard about that. Sketchy but, bizare stuff happens around here (humboldt) pretty regularly too. Im thinking since these guys do guided tours, they will have pretty good insight as to where I could go self guided with as little rock throwing and captivity as possible.

Thats the same place as rvperu. Looks like a pretty great way to go doesn't it?

Hello everyone, my wife and I are going to Peru and were givin a link to rvperu.com. Has anyone rented one of these or know someone that has? A diesel hilux 4x4 with a fwc sounds pretty amazing. I haven't been able to find much online about them so some first hand experiences would be...

I got the 9.5 ti in a hitch receiver basket with the synthetic line on it. Haven't used it to extract a diesel truck yet but the things i have used it for it seems like it is going to be impressive. The syn line is so nice to deal with and if I get even comparable pull strength to the 16.5...
