    Flat bed options

    Bike_mech, I am waiting to hear back from Sherptek but yeah the Norweld is still in consideration. Mule is clearing them out right now as they are switching to a new brand. They are marked down quite significantly. Depending on the insurance assessment of my truck the Norweld is definitely...

    Flat bed options

    Kerry, from what I can tell the utility body is bulkier and likely heavier. Also the ones I have seen seem to drop lower than what I think I want impeding clearance. Unless there is some style I am missing.

    Looking for thoughts on truck for hauling camper

    Thanks All! After listening here and talking to several friends and diesel gurus I think I will make an offer on one the 2012. We'll see how that goes. If I can swing a deal it'll be good cause they offer a free lifetime powertrain warranty so if the turbo issue of the '11-'12s rears its ugly...

    Looking for thoughts on truck for hauling camper

    Bul, I will definitely ensure exactly what it has through receipts, calling the shop that did the install, as well as taking to an independent 3rd party shop to verify everything is there and done correctly for the bulletproofing/lift. I am definitely a bit concerned with the price but I live...

    Looking for thoughts on truck for hauling camper

    Hi all, I am new to most of all this. I have been looking into what I want to get for a road trip and found the Northstar campers to be very desirable for the cost and what you get. I have found a very clean 2017 I am likely going to make a deal on. However, I will require a larger rig so...

    New Northstar TC650 and 2013 Toyota Tundra

    Copy thanks! One more question: many on hear have stated that the Palomino Backpacker rigs are not very good; especially in comparison to the Northstars. I was wondering why that seems to be the sentiment? The Palomino's appeared very nice to me when I toured them at the local dealership but...

    New Northstar TC650 and 2013 Toyota Tundra

    2001 Tiger Provan 4x4 Hard Top - $30000 (Fort Collins, CO)

    Thanks for the replies. I believe that this deal is a scam (surprise surprise). I got my hopes up a bit when I first saw the add but I feel certain it was a scam so I blocked the scammer from e-mail and will move on. I still like the idea of 4x4 so not sure what I will do. Initial plan for...
