I installed a four foot one in my Eagle under the window on the passenger side. Use it all the time.

I have a FWC on a Tacoma and have traveled some pretty tough roads -- drop offs etc. Certainly no rock crawling but if you pick the correct line, the FWC will make it through.

I have an Eagle with the roll over couch. I removed the 3 way fridge,sealed up the opening and found three plastic containers with lids that stack perfectly in that space. My 52L Weekender fridge is mounted parallel to the front wall of the camper using the slide off bracket.. It never moves...

Which model specifically did you guys get? I searched and did not see it mentioned. I have a 2012 Eagle. Thanks

That looks great. How did you secure the camper to the bed -- did you use FWC's turnbuckles or did you bolt it down somehow?

Harbor Freight has their own line of Pelican like cases now, in three sizes. I picked up a large and medium yesterday and they are not really all that bad. Clearly, they do not have the build quality of Pelican cases but, for the price, they seem very sturdy...

Thanks. I know one site stated that the Colorado was not truly 4WD. Sounded wrong. My only concern with it is payload -- specs show 1400 pounds, better than a Tacoma but it is still going to require some upgrades.

Is it true that this truck does not have the option of being in full time 4wD? I have read this in numerous publications -- the system is set up so that it goes from 2wd to 4wd based on terrain and is not controlled by the driver. It sounds hard to believe but I thought I'd ask.

It is so easy to install batteries, I simply removed one from each until I leave on the next trip

Wandering around Costco the other day, I came upon these Duracell battery operated LED puck lights (https://www.costco.com/Duracell-Puck-Lights%2c-5-pack.product.100360557.html ). For $12, you get 5 lights, enough Duracell Batteries to power them all and a remote. Each light cycles through 4...

Welcome to the FWC family. We've had our Eagle mounted on a Tacoma for the past few years and love it.

I JB Welded a socket to the stud where the crank handle goes and use an electric drill.

Ive had Aluminess Bumpers on two Tacoma's. Living here in Minnesota where mucho salt is used on the roads in winter, I wanted aluminum to prevent corrosion. With Stainless hardware, the bumpers show no signs of corrosion in more than 6 years of use. My friends with ARB bumpers typically show...

Find one of the old metal satellite dishes. work great.

Turnbuckles, even upgraded with locking nuts, do not give me the piece of mind needed when driving offroad. After a few years of worrying about turnbuckle integrity, I now use dogbones and carabiners as my primary means of attachment. The turnbuckles are still there as backup but the dogbones...

This seems to be a solution looking for a problem. Bolting and unbolting the jacks takes 2 minutes per corner at most. I do like the knob replacement idea instead of nuts. Now, if all this creative and significant brain power could figure out a mounting system to replace turnbuckles, you'd...

The latest issue of Overland Journal has a review of a number of fridges/

Ive bought my last two sets from Discount on their ebay site. Free shipping, great prices and the tires can be shipped to a store for mounting. http://stores.ebay.com/discounttiredirect?_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1523

Its hard to believe that they are still securing campers weighing 900+ pounds to the bed with lightweight aluminum turnbuckles and an eyebolt through about 1/16 of sheet metal. Even with the large plates beneath it, thats a recipe for disaster, especially for people who travel off road. My...

I've seen a lot of companies partner with different brands (eg FWC and Woolrich) over the years and most of the time, its the beginning of the road to mediocrity. Woolrich is a great brand but the increased cost to buy one of their branded campers brings little in return. For 1/100th the cost...

I was at an RV show yesterday, talking to a sales guy at a Lance Truck Camper display. All of the Lance's I saw had dry weights ranging from 1800 to 3500 pounds. When I commented that those campers would certainly need a 3/4 or 1 ton truck, he responds "Hell no. Airbags on a 1/2 ton are...

I have two overheads that have both red and white LED bulbs. Check West Marine or one of the other online marine suppliers.

I dont really have any issues with my 2012 Eagle. What I hate is the turnbuckle attachment system.

Installing and removing the swing arms on an aluminess bumper probably takes less than 10 minutes.
