Rear support for eyebolts

Welcome Waterdog, I bought a very beat up 97 Ranger II that had rodent holes chewed through the corners. I called FWC but they were a little too busy. I then called ATC and Marty sent me some grey vinyl scrap that I used to repatch all the holes. The glue was expensive, I think about 40...

Excuse for what? :huh: All the great deals at the REI garage sales around Seattle. Seems like they would have one almost every month.

The REI is good for the rebates and the 1% payout. I have been using it for years and had no problems. I also use the Alaska airlines visa which gets me to Alaska free every year. You get free companion passes every year and with all my traveling, I normally get two free round trip tickets...

Nice pics Barko! Your trip report is dead on, southern Utah is one of the most beautiful places in the West. You also picked a real good time to go. The stirling cooler does work pretty good, I bought a second one! Thanks for the great trip report! -Skeeter

Excellent setup. Where are you located?

Tried that, our garage is just to dang small! I removed the fan for the time being and right now Im just focusing on getting the camper mounted. I decided to have a local shop fabricate some mounts that will be welded to the frame. I dont want to worry about the bed skin being pulled apart...

Thank you so much for the great ideas/links. One more dumb question, which way do the turnbuckles pull? Do they pull in the same direction or opposite? For expample; \ \ or \ /? Left being the front of bed. They pull towards the front if I remember. Thanks again guys!!!

After fruitless efforts on searching this fourm, can someone shed some light on the different methods of mounting your camper to your truck? I am curious on how other Tacoma owners mounted their campers. I am thinking of mounting to frame and avoiding the turn buckles altogether. Pics...

Boundry Bay, great place. If you go Everett/Mukilteo, you should go to Diamond knot and Scuttlebutts. Miss those watering holes during those winter nights.

Thats pricy! My 2003 Tacoma was 8600K with 67k miles and my Ranger II (eagle) was 1100! If you shop hard enough, you can find the deals.

Just got home from Tucson and bought a 2003 extra cab Tacoma. I half to wake up a 3 am to catch a ride to New York, wont be home for two weeks. Will post pics when I get the FWC mounted. I hate when I half to wait!

Thats a real nice ride! That should haul all your stuff no problem,dont forget some pics!!

He sold it!

I think I may have found my truck, a 2003 Taco. Is there anything I should look for that any of you missed when you bought yours? I know about the frame rust, is there anything else that anyone could recommend? I am taking it to a Toyota dealer for a prebuy inspection. Thanks!

Thanks for the link Kcowyo! Seeing what it looked like and reading about his frame cracks convinced me that I should stay away from that combo. I just did so much work to my camper that I really dont feel like "down sizing" to a Falcon. I think the 2nd generation Tacomas have a standard bed...

I am about to pull the trigger on a used 2002 Tacoma double cab. My only concern is the cg/loading of my Ranger II on a short bed. I guess it will only hang off 1.5'. I only have a shell and that works great for us, but Im a little concerned about having so much weight towards the rear of the...
