Camper Tie-Downs

[tele'n]

looking at putting a pop top on my Tundra. i have the basic 4 door model 2012 and wanted to hear what tie-downs are the ones to get for the Tundra's. also, looking at a B800 Bronco and curious if i'll need to air bag the suspension or any camper sub 1500lbs ?? like a Sunlite etc. looking for a camper in BC as well if anyone knows of something.

I added airbags to mine, I used torklift tie downs on mine, I would be interested in selling them, I am going to latch my Tie downs to my sliders.

I would think you would want bags or trimbrens or something like that. I have torklifts form my frontier and they are fantastic.

Never heard of those... Is that the type to get? Seems simple.

Tatted, be interested in those tork mounts. Send me a pm.

I've used Happijac frame mounts for two trucks,same camper and going on 15yrs now. No issues. 33 baja trips and many domestic. The centering bumpstops are exclusive to Happijac.

I have them on my frontier....you install them and forget about them. The have worked well for me and my 800 lbs sunlight as well as some trailer pulling. If I had it in full time I would have custom springs made for the weight though.

Looked at quite a few pics on the site and almost all of them I can't see any tie down. Granted most look like FWC so I'm not sure if they require them or not. Also have heavy duty steel side steps and thought about mounting to that.

Ended up going with a Torklift front mount and a bumper mount for the back. we'll see how this does.

Nice, you will be happy with that. I moved my rear tie downs into the bed but have front torklifts

 

[tele'n]

how does the setup work to anchor in the bed? can you post a pic of what you did?

 

[gtbensley]

Sure, I am out of town until tomorrow but will grab some pictures when I get home.

I added points in the camper, just D rings and washers bolted through. The truck bed I just added tie downs in a stock location.

You have a Tundra correct?

 

[tele'n]

yes, 2012 Tundra... small engine though. i'm on the fence on what to do with the rear attach points. installed Torklift on the front but will wait until I actually have the camper to decide on the back ones. I have a feeling i'm going to install new leafs to support that weight too.
