If I put it between my garage lights, I can even pop it up after a trip to dry out. Now that is luxury :D

Since my truck handles better with the camper on, I have little incentive to take it off. How many of you have a flat area for loading and unloading? Doing it on my sloped driveway wasn't much fun. Nothing a few blocks won't handle. I load and unload on sloping gravel. I just use some 2X6...

read more closely,"I have everything already loaded minus food and beer...". I don't think they make jacks strong enough for me to leave the beer loaded :lol: Next rally I'm showing up with Odoul's just for DD Cort

Brandon, I would not worry about mounting and unmounting the camper. I do it on a regular basis and as DD has said it will take you about 1.5 to do. And that includes bolting on the jacks, sliding the camper in, securing it, and then taken the jacks back off. I leave my camper ready to go...

This is so easy to install that I can't believe you would pay to have it done

Same thing as drivers side?

notice that the mount and the bushing aren't quite lined up....I made sure that the sway bushing mounts were on the right side...they are different and you have to make sure to get them right...or at least turned right.....this was the best alignment I could get. I am hoping that this will...

Note the new washer and that the bushing is deformed like the old one.

Notice how much more substantial this bushing is than the old one.

Rack Drivers side nut removed and Central bolt pulled

Passenger side Rack disconnected...Not remnants of bushing left on Rack. Also note that I am pulling the rack back with a bungee cord.

Passenger Side Rack Mount, sway bar disconnected and hanging down

Close up of Rack Drivers Mount...Note that Bushing is a bit squeezed out or deformed

Before replacement

The rack (Stearing gear), showing drivers side mount, central mount and passenger mount. Doesn't look to rusty at all . Don't worry there are actually jack stands holding the truck up. You don't think I would crawl under it with just a bottle jack holding it up now do you.

everything looks good in a design program.....I think that it is invaluable to build a mock up.....sit in it have a few beers in it and get a feel for it. I think this is a great way to go in terms of figuring out your space. Hopefully the end product have a bit more structural integrity :D...

So I have recently noticed a bit of uneven wear (feathering) on my tires. I have had my alignment done recently so I was wondering what was going on. I crawled under the truck and starting checking stuff out. At first glance I didn't notice anything obvious. I had a buddy of mine turn the...

:D

well actually Highz reminded me about Sand County Almanac.....but its still a must read. Here's a few of the guide book genre The High Sierra, Peaks Passes and Trails, R.J. Secor (The Mountaineers) -- I'm sure many year are intimately familiar with this. Sierra High Route, Traversing...

21.8 with the camper! That's awesome....is that a 4 cyl or 6 cyl? My 2001 6 cyl, is averaging 15-18 without camper and 14-16 with it.

Since several people have mentioned John McPhee I would recommend picking up his entire collection, Annals of the Former World, which includes Basin and Range, In Suspect Terrain, Rising from the Plains, Assembling California,and Crossing the Craton. Another Good one is History of the Sierra...

I think that we should all remember that compared to traditional hard sided campers popups have a very low center of gravity. The 8" inches of height gained due to the flatbed is easily offset, as DD has stated, by being able to mount appliances lower. In my opinion, I have not actually worked...

Great Report! There is absolutely NOTHINGbetter than the Basin and Range for Exploration. Cort
