    Electric Bike "carry-behind " 2019

    Field Report After 5 months of waiting on January 8th we took delivery of the new Subaru Outback. I just "know" all you non-truck folks are just really curious to find out how I am getting the bike to the beach now that I don't have a truck anymore or at least for the next year as I wait for...

    Field Report I have now turned 3,200 miles. RAD bike working well. Still have no vehicle to transport it. Ordered the new Subaru August 27th - 15 weeks ago. Dealer reports it might show up this month. Not holding my breath. This past week had an opportunity to buy a used 2021 Premium. Not the...

    1st gen Tacoma: is this leaf spring upgrade enough?

    First I know this original post is 2 years old. Still there might be someone out there with a first Gen Tacoma with a 4 cylinder motor thinking about buying a small camper shell for it. When I bought the Eagle in 2012 I went to a suspension shop and had the rear leaf's replaced on my 1999...

    My truck is feeling its age

    Sorry to hear that Craig. If you decide to replace it try to wait till next year as the used car/truck prices are out of sight. I saw a used 2021 Subaru with 6k miles for $5k more than a new one. I have been waiting over 4 months now for the new one I ordered the end of August. Luckily our 15...

    Update 10/27/21 I was advised that the appeal was successful and Robotic surgery was approved. If your wondering how that happened. SCAN insurance had their orthopedic doctor review the case. Their doctor approved it NOT the Scripps Doctor. Since SCAN is paying for the surgery (Medicare...

    Value of 2003 Eagle in pristine shape - Seeking new buyer advice

    I agree with Wildcat and Wandering. I would buy the Eagle as he has already done the areas where you might have leaks. (roof, windows, canvass). 4 Wheels are always in high demand as long as they are maintained. The $2-$3k Wandering mentions for the compressor fridge solar upgrade will return...

    Four Wheel Swift Shell Build with Pics

    Adding my kudos Nick. Especially like the custom sink cabinet and pump. And love the furnace. Not having a furnace on ours was my only regret. Still living way down south only had deal with the desert cold nights. At least we don't have humidity down here. Happy camping to you

    50th Anniversary So Cal Customer Rally & Campout DATES: Dec. 3rd - 5th, 2021.

    Hi Fly Fisher Yes as I still like to do Registration and that frees the Four Wheel Crew to do setup as they normally arrive around noon on Friday. I get to come because I was instrumental is starting the first one in fall of 2012 which gives me VIP status(I can attend without a camper). Though...

    Thanks Richard, That is what I meant to say. Les I agree with you too. I have enjoyed just about every camping/traveling day I have been lucky to have in it the past 9 years. Unfortunately I got old and couldn't physically do it anymore. Good timing on getting a very good price for it. CG I...

    2004 Eagle on 3rd Gen Tacoma?

    Forgot to add Suspension comment You will need either air bags for part time camper carrying or New rear springs for full time. On both trucks we added a new " rear spring set" to support 1,800 pounds and "E" Rated tires. '99 needed a 6 leaf. 2013 a 5 leaf. The camper is bolted down full time...

    Mattress for a 2002 Eagle.

    my 2 cents is go to a store that refurbishes furniture upholstery and ask them to replace the foam for foam designed for sleeping. I did that with my old Flip-Pac with a 3 inch thick mattress. What a difference. Back in the day Four wheel and others bought cheap light foam designed for packing...

    2004 Eagle on 3rd Gen Tacoma?

    Hi CF, The biggest thing is you will need to put the camper on a frame of wood between the bed and camper because of the difference in the bed sides vertical height. Contact Stan at Four Wheel. stan@fourwh.com. He can tell you the thickness of the platform you need and may have some pictures...

    Eagle Shell buildout

    Nice Job Vulture. I love Eagles too. And you have cabinet building skills that I lacked. I'm sure you are loving the Eagle and the Engel. Did you buy the external temperature unit? If not buy it as it great to be able to monitor the inside temp remotely from the cab or cabinet inside. Engel We...
