I would not suggest relying on any airbag for carrying the load. They are great for leveling the load though. I started with airbags....they worked okay after some modification. I eventually wised up and had some custom leaf springs made...

Looks like Virginia Creek right there This is in Great Basin National Park.....Strawberry Creek if my memory serves me correctly Cort

Bobcat with a porch, welded up by a local frabricator, $200 double hitch mount that is removable, also carries whatever cooler you want and extra gas. Oh yeah and you can use it as a jacking point for your high lift. all kinds of possibilities, Cort

Thanks Cort, I was looking at the ATC campers. They are almost the same as the FWC, however I wonder why they don't ever have water heaters? Either camper would work just fine. Jim I think the guys at ATC feel that the water heaters take up to much room and prefer to keep things a bit more...

Keep your eyes open for a comparable ATC as well. you are less likely to find one but you never know. Good luck in your search, Cort

So whatever happened to this concept...are you still moving forward? Cort

Awesome trip and pictures Ted. My mom lives just outside of the park...on the other side of the hill from Wawona....near the SF of the Merced and they got buried Hope to see you guys soon, Cort

what angle are your turnbuckles at? Mine are at...Front \/....Back /\...everyone pulling against each other...but then again I have a spay in bedliner so who knows Cort

I can tell you that if you are in a sailplane it kicks off some serious thermals that will get you set for heading farther east. :D Cort

its strange how some folks have issues with the turnbuckles loosing up....I have not had this issue at all and I think(meaning I could be totally wrong) a lot of this may have to do with the angle of the turnbuckles.....the front and back should be pulling against each other and they should do...

you bring up a good point...as you point out subsidence is huge in the central valley caused by the extraction of ground water, compaction of the soils....etc. There are actually some telephone poles that have old ground surface elevations marked on them that will blow you away. I want to be...

Lighthawk the shots are beautiful but they sparked a nerve in me. Begin RantThe whole Central Valley used to be one massive wetland...We Diked it Drained it and Dammed it to move the water about "efficiently"... talk about a complete cluster #uck!You can thank those rice fields and similar ones...

Definitely Eagle....you won't be disappointed. Those inches in a small camper are so precious.

The other thing that is nice in the ATC Bobcat and assuming all ATC's, is the master kill switch. I assume that the newer FWC's must have something similar. When I am away from the camper for an extended period of time...especially at a trail head I kill all power to the camper so that no one...

My All Terrain Bobcat was installed today in Tucson by Jay Aronow of Jay Aronow Camper Sales. I’m extremely pleased with the final product, not to mention the service. If you’re looking for an honest dealer, and you live anywhere near Tucson, I strongly recommend you contact Jay. Not only does...

I have a Bobcat with a Dinette.....A few observations. We travel as 3, My wife (5'5"), My son (4'2"), and myself (6'2"). We have done several extended (4+ week) trips in our Bobcat and would never trade in the dinette. You don't always have to have the table set up...in fact we travel most of...

Looks like a new door to me :D. Can't wait to hear how it works and what Marc thinks of it. Congrats on finishing the build. Congrats on the XP Marc....that is one sick rig. Hope to see you guys soon, Cort

Welcome to WTW, I am running a fully loaded Bobcat (minus the fridge)on a 2001 Tacoma. I love it and the guys at ATC are the best! It was necessary to do some suspension mods in order to be able to travel in the Backcountry with confidence that nothing would break. If you are planning on...

Like I have stated before I am only at GVW or maybe a tad over for the first day. Typically, during the first night you drink most of my beer, which puts me back in the envelope B) Cort

Looks real nice Ditch the rock catchers and it will be even better :) Cort

I will likely be making some trips to the east side of the Sierra during that time period. Let's chat about it as the dates get closer. Cort

one easy test to do on a weekend when you have some time is to spread marking chalk on your front and rear tires. Make sure you go past the tread and a little down the side wall. Then take it for a drive and see where the chalk wears off. That will show you what your contact patch is. If you...

well I think its about time that I finish this thread up. This project turned out to be pretty easy as long as you are not afraid to take things apart. Parts List and Cost All parts where ordered from Wheelers Offroad 01-04 Tacoma Steering Rack Bushing Kit (ES 8.10103G) -- $18.95 01-04 Tacoma...

May we all take the opportunity to fill our water cans, travel where want, and share our scotch and whiskey with those we meet, whenever we can.... LuckyDan......Well said

With that weight and the amount of time you plan on leaving it on the truck you can't get away with just airbags or timbrems. With just the airbags you would be asking for trouble (if you had one fail you would be up **it creek without a paddle). Take a look a the mods that I did. While my...
