Guys this is his shock mount.

Personally I would start by mounting shocks properly. Yours are clearly way too long and mounted at what appears to be more than a 45 degree angle. They are almost useless in that location. They have almost NO leverage on the axle vertical movement. Get yourself a proper shock (going to have...

You can also order the third member and front diff from east coast gear supply and install them yourself. I think my 4.56 gears and front and rear ARBs ran $3000 or so shipped, after the core charge was refunded. The rear only takes a couple hours at best. The front takes a little longer but...

Ugh tell me about it. I get 12 days a month at home, 8 of them I have my 18 month old daughter by myself all day while the wife works. It is nearly impossible to work on projects at home lately. Your platform looks nice! At one point I considered doing this with the larger part of my back...

Coming from a 2012 JKRU to a 2015 Tacoma, my experience has been the complete opposite so far.

That's your opinion and that is fine, but there is a huge difference among manufactures soft sides. I don't know what climate you live in, but there is a ton of wind and rain where I live. I've stepped inside many palominos (even brand new ones) during a light breeze and the sides were flapping...

They are all heavy. Usually the weights are of a "standard build with standard options". Propane, water, batteries etc all add up. Some manufacturers are actually weighing units as they leave the factory, but I don't recall which ones. It also seems to vary by year. If you're concerned...

Well let's start with downsides of a pop up camper first. A quality pop up is usually more expensive than a hard sided camper. Generally a pop up will have smaller tanks, maybe no fixed toilet, possibly no shower inside. Most pop ups are not well insulated. Aluminum frames transmit...

I also prefer bolt on. I have all pro HD sliders and they use a large L shaped 1/4" piece that snugs up to the frame, and bolts on using existing holes (aside from 8 new holes on the bottom). I have a double cab long bed. The only complaint I have about these is that they don't come as close...

Sounds like Hallmark as stated, is what you're looking for. You can get a four wheel camper grandby with forward dinette with inside shower and cassette toilet. However they really aren't intended for using the water system in winter, as the floor in not insulated and the walls and thin and...

More people with the g43 huh? Glad to hear people are enjoying them. I have a g26 and g30, but I'm a skinny guy and they can be (mostly the 30) a little tough to conceal in light clothing. I was strongly considering a g42 until I realized the g43 existed the other night. I don't really...

Tires are the single most important safety and performance item on a vehicle. Spend all the money you want on suspension, horsepower mods, brakes etc, none of it is good if the tires suck or come apart on the freeway and put your family and others at risk. Not worth the gamble to me. Just my...

Of course you'll need a tank. You can't possibly think that compressor can pump out high volume and high psi constantly to run air tools. ;) generally a smaller air pump either works great for volume or for pressure, not usually both. As an example, try to fill an inflatable pool with the...

Definitely absolutely stay away from palomino. One good look at them and you'll understand why. I wouldn't consider travel lite for your use either. A four wheel camper is great, but storage could be a bit of an issue depending on your "needs". Everyone will have different opinions but I...

Huh, that's too bad! I'm sure they will take care of it.

Wow lots of changes in here the last couple of months. Can't wait to see what transpires! Sure it is a little sad to see the hard work being removed, but I can respect the constant desire to change and improve a platform. My "perfect or ideal rig" changes so much too, I just don't have the...

Even the numbers on the engine make the term "upgrade" questionable. But yes, rear drums. C channel frame. Mostly the same truck. I prefer leather too as it's easier to clean dirt/mud/spills.

Look at all terrain campers if you're considering a short or custom flat bed camper. They do custom work and likely have shorter wait times and better customer service. I love my fleet but they will not do anything custom. And my camper had been back at the factory for five weeks now...

The wheel base isn't the problem. It is the center of gravity. The fleet flatbed is very long. The distance from the can to the axle on your truck is very short. There is going to be a lot of weight behind the axle that is going to make the handling much worse. As I said, SOME people (not...

A fleet flatbed is some 90" long. Not a good idea with the short wheel base of the 5' bed.
