Buckland, and others . . . Good news. The 40", 40lb. stuts ARE cheap. I have a 2016 Fleet and decided to up my stock 30lb, 40" struts with 40 pounders. I have a solar panel and a small (7-cu. ft.) storage box on top of my my Yakima tracks.I also have a late 60s body which still can lift the...

I've been working on storage mods under the front window as well. This is the image I've been going by for framing. I'm not sure what model the image is from but I doubt this area varies much model to model.

PackRat, I was on (otherwise) good concrete Interstates this summer in Wyoming, Nebraska, and Missouri. The only thing in common with my porpoising events was the grooving in concrete surfaces. It was really bad between 60 and 75 mph, not leaving much speed range to drive in. We got off the Hwy...

All four shocks to be replaced? Just rear, just front? What's the reasoning for this choice?

Durango, does there seem to be an option with the Torklifts to either leave it on or take it off? In other words, once one makes the decision to leave it on "permanently" and there arises a situation where it might be nice to have them off, how difficult a transition is that? Would it need to...

What was the guy driving? 4wd or no?

Having just returned from a 5k mile trip to Wyoming and back on my maiden voyage with my new (modified) Fleet shell, my wife and I have only one upgrade to consider. We got a small 2-step ladder for entry and exit (see profile pic) and while this might have been adequate for us in our younger...

So Ron, can you elaborate on your concern about the denting of the roof? Are you saying that the 4WC roof is much more tender than any truck roof? I've received dents from hail on my truck, too. I would place a pad under the roof bag for both slippage control and additional padding. Also I...

I am still outfitting my new Fleet shell in advance of a trip out West (Dakotas, Wyoming, Colorado) in a couple of weeks. At first I wasn't going to use the Yakima tracks that came preinstalled, but predictably I'm finding that I want to take more stuff than I have room for. I have the idea to...

Taco truck, could you elaborate on why you took the front bumpers off? I've thought of it, and am interested in your reasoning.

I recently bought a new Fleet shell which has only 12 volt electric. I am adding 120 volt AC capability. I bought the IOTA 30 amp Power Converter (DLS-30/IQ4) with external IQ4. I plan to install a shore power 30 amp connector which I will wire to a circuit panel. I only need 2 circuits -- one...

I just got back from the long drive from NC to NH to pick up my new Fleet. While I anticipate having a few other questions to throw out, my first one relates to the battery that was installed. The Fleet came with a Deka 8A24 AGM Battery. The 20 hr capacity rating is 79 a/h. When I looked up...

Thanks for the info. This forum is a goldmine. The 4WC dealer said he could install air bag shocks at the same time as the camper install. $365 + labor. On tires. The truck currently has P265/70R16 BF Goodrich Tires. The consensus her seems to be upgrade to LT, either now or at the next time...

Soon I will drive up to New Hampshire and pick up my new Fleet FWC. It is a partially equipped shell so the weight is not the loaded Fleet maximum. I just purchased a 2014 Tacoma Prerunner 2WD with the TRD Off Road package. According to Toyota this includes Off-road Tuned Suspension with...

I am looking to get a order in soon for a FWC Fleet. But before I make a long drive to check some models out in person, I was wondering if anyone in the the Raleigh NC or surrounding area might have one I could take a peek at?
