Correct on the timbrens. I don't know if the table is still up on the timbren site, but the all pro kit comes with the A515-55. 1000lb nominal rated capacity, 2400lb bump capacity, 3.75" tall, 1.5" tall when fully compressed. the standard Tacoma timbren kit ships with taller timbrens that...

I may check with them. The advantage of deaver springs (to me) is that they also use a shop in Portland to build springs to their specs. So I can pick them up locally and they should be able to make adjustments if the truck doesn't sit right.

That's good! I'm thinking of just having deaver build me a custom set of springs and carrying my camper full time. Everything else is sort of a compromise for me right now, and I'd like to have more free travel before contacting timbrens. Unfortunately the deavers are going to be kind of spendy.

Call Jeff at American RV. He has had a lot of deliveries, there was a flatbed grandby last time I was there.

Wow. By reading both of your posts, you would think lance is trying to force this camper down your throat. Not everyone has the same needs or desires. I agree with the comment about someone offering a "different" style camper than everyone else. Although technically the floor plan is...

Why is this double posted by a different user?

I just line up using the fenders in my mirror as reference points. Hasn't failed me yet, it's free and it is waaaaaay less stressful than asking the wife for help. Haha

Definitely curious why as well. I would have a sportsmobile 4x4 if it wasn't so expensive. Granted it wouldn't be the standard westfalia style floor plan. But I like the shared seating area/living space for traveling. Especially with kids. But my Tacoma/fleet is much smaller and more nimble...

I gotcha. A proper van build is my dream also. For us, it works better for traveling having the seating and living area all connected. Cost and storage (we have an HOA) becomes an issue. We loved our old VW Vanagon Syncro but as we all know they can be mechanical nightmares. I'll let your...

I hate that everyone is using "stages" but I think stage 4 icon is not adjustable for dampening. Icons are valved difference than some other coilovers. The small movements are firm. A big hit is softer, until the last 20% or so where it becomes firm again, with icon. For a heavier rig it...

I'm glad Icon took care of everything! Yes the sell a longer rear shock for the Tacoma. I run them, they are technically designed for a longer fabtech lift. Mine are valved 25% firmer with adjustable valving. I forget the exact measurements but they're somewhere like 16.8 compressed and 27...

I've seen you on i5 in north Portland as well. 2 questions What is the future project? Would you consider selling the bed and camper separate from the truck? I have a forward dinette fleet and the little bit of extra floor space/storage could be soooooo helpful.

That is an expensive *** Tacoma. Don't finance through the dealer. You should know you're credit score and join a credit union with low rates. I've financed everything through my credit union for the last 10 years and they've put everyone else to shame regarding rates. On new cars, used...

It could just have been the photos I've seen in the past. Maybe strapped down too tight or something, who knows. Looks like the price was nearly $400 several years ago so it seems a little less attractive to me, although it would be very handy around here.

And fake hood scoops. ;)

I haven't seen the rear awning in use, in person. Mine has the channel and it would sure be handy. But the pictures I've seen really make it look like the top/sidewalls are stressed and pulling the roof toward the back with the awning deployed. Usually you can see a "wrinkle" in the soft...

Congrats! If you decide to re-gear down the road, I promise you won't hate the way it drives with 4.56 gears and a supercharger on those 255s. ;) The flatbed fleet has a lot more space than my forward dinette fleet. If I had planned on having a second kid I think I would have gone that route...

Yep that about sums it up! haha I looked for an email or something for Gordon the other day but couldn't find it. I'm sure he could tell you off hand who actually weighs their campers off of the production line if it is a real concern. I've seen him mention it in some reviews in the past.
