After contacting a few of different shops I decided to just replace the UCA's with factory ones. They said if I was going to raise the truck any more than the 2" factory lift then I should consider it.

Doesn't look like their available for my 1/2 ton Vic.

So, while I was replacing the rear shocks on my 2020 Trail Boss with Bilsteins I had my mechanic do a check on the front end.Turns out the control arm ball joints are shot and since the ball joints aren't replaceable I have to buy upper and lower arms. Apparently this is a problem with the Trail...

Sent a PM Jon.

Hey Jon. Do you have a link to the connector/extensions you used? I have a 2020 Chev and it's a real pain disconnecting that main harness. Thanks

I second what W.S. said about Marty and the Guys at ATC. They are awesome to work with. We have had our 72" wide Ocelot for 6 yrs now and have had some really good trips with it. All of our trips are long distance and that's the reason we went with the 72" model. We had them install the furnace...

No, I don't have the stow and go version. I mounted the bracket that the steps fasten to on the back of the truck box. Only problem with that is the bracket has to come off before I put the tailgate back on, but not really a big deal. I usually just store them behind the drivers seat. I also...

I would highly recommend the torklift glow steps .

Yes I was Moritz Vic. I mentioned highway products to get some design ideas for boxes etc. How are you doing on your search?

You should check out highway products.com for some ideas. Some nice looking stuff there.

Not a headache rack. In some of the pics it looks like the side cabinets have no back. Could be wrong though.

Vic. There is a place called Highway Products that has some nice looking flatbeds but looking at the pics they all sit high. Bowen has some nice stuff as well ,but out of my price range. I plan on talking to some local fabricators and seeing what they can come up with. The sherp tek looks good...

After entertaining the thought of going to a flatbed ATC we have decided to keep our ATC Ocelot. Really like the idea of having it on a flatbed with side storage boxes. The only problem with that is it raises the camper up more than I would want it. Anybody happen to know how to build a flatbed...

Cant figure out how or I would post the video of a kid that lives a mile down the road from me. Owen Riegling ,Old Dirt Roads. Maybe someone could post it for me? My favourite watering hole is in the video !

Chet. I have followed your build and that is an awesome set-up you have there. BUT, my Ocelot shell is on for a max of 2 months per year and I travel very light. My current and previous Chevs have had payloads of 1600 lbs and have handled just fine. I'm not ruling out the possibility of going to...

I believe they call the Tundras with the 5.5ft bed the Crew Max.

I've been looking around for a low mileage 2020 or 2021 Toyota Tundra Double Cab. Of all the ones that I have found , the highest payload I have found is 1500lbs. I know a lot of Guys are running air bags but I was wondering what other upgrades you have made? Thanks.

Have a good trip Rob. Hope to get back there soon !

We have been using the thermacells for a few yrs now. Another thing we always carry are the black mosquito coils. We used them on our Alaska trip last summer and always use them at our camp up north in Quebec. Aways set 1 on the bumper beside the camper door and spread a few more around . That's...

Thanks for the reply Kevin. Just tossing the idea around. Looking to do something like that since we had to put our summer trip on hold.

Tossing around the idea of doing a winter vacation with the ATC into mainland Mexico. Thinking down the gulf side but not sure how far. I believe some of you have taken your campers there and I have a few questions. Was there any trouble finding camping spots, either boon docking or campgrounds...

When we travel to our fish camp up north the last 40 miles is probably the roughest, washboard road I have ever driven on . That includes the Dempster and the road to McCarthy/Kennicott. I am heading up again Thursday morning and I was wondering how much I can safely lower my tire pressure? I've...

Your last few pics look familiar. The Chi-Cheemaun (big canoe) winters up the road from us and have made the trip from Tobermory across to the Island numerous times. Spent a lot of time fishing the waters around Little Current . Enjoy Manitoulin and the rest of your trip! Thanks for posting the...

Well, how many made the trip to Baja this winter? We decided to leave the camper off the truck this winter and just fly to Huatulco for a few weeks. The main reason was being we did a long trip last summer I didn't really feel like doing that much driving again this winter. I did talk to a few...

Nice trip report Rob! The young couple from Quebec you mentioned , they were probably driving a brownish Chev/Gmc 1/2 ton Crew Cab right? Chatted with them outside a grocery store in LaCrucacita , Huatulco , in late Jan. They told me they were heading up to catch the ferry over to Baja.
