Glad to hear it Otto! FYI, shocks aren’t going to help with sway. I’m a bit concerned reading your post, as I have the same truck and ordered the same camper. I’ll post my notes when it arrives

Transflow provides the new straps with the tank. It’s not the straps that are weak, it’s how they mount to the frame that are weak.

Yeah, they do. Big one. Not sure why someone would disconnect it

I’ll agree with this 100%! Got my rotors turned and they were warped to hell again in 10k

Awesome, can’t wait for the updates, I’m 99% sure all the sway will be gone.

On our last trip out to DVNP a few weeks ago, we stayed one night at Texas Springs camp. When I went to bring the trash to their dumpster there was a smaller ARB awning and a HUGE very expensive looking full size RV awning in pieces piled next to the dumpster.

I don’t understand it either. Every time I see it, I think “oh, must be someone new to camping In the desert and not familiar with the frequent completely random winds at night”

Your price is off quite a bit. I got (2) 6ft sections for $40 for my last build.

That’s exactly why I’m asking

Yes sir

Nice, any pics? Thanks

Nice! Check out my build link below. The rear area where my sears used to be is full now.

Ah, gotcha, correct, I have not got my Hawk yet, supposedly mid February. I will most likely be making a aluminum mounting system from angle iron like they do with the solar panels.

I saw the folks get upset over the creation of a Facebook group. I'd love to meet more folks here and do more rallies for sure. Me personally, I am VERY rarely on an actual computer, and do almost everything from my phone. For ME, facebook is much easier to read and respond to post than here...

Hey All Has anyone installed Cargo Track (goes by several different names) in their camper to secure loads while moving? I am still planning my build and thinking of these along the inside walls on the floor to secure camp chairs and some Rubbermaid totes while on the move. For some reason it...

Wallowa I ordered my Hawk with the Yakima tracks. Based on pics I've seen the tracks continue to almost the very rear edge of the camper. I am thinking of making some sort of mounting system to mount them rearward of the rear vent in between the rear vent and the rear end of the roof.

Ah.. perfect.. thanks

I ordered the Fiamma with my Hawk that I am waiting on... why? I am not really sure, maybe resale value? Or in the very rare instance I want to get out of the rain. I had the ARB awning on my truck over 2 years and used it twice, PITA to deploy solo and horrible in wind. If the Fiamma is...

The rake was specifically for steering and handling. I noticed a big difference. I’ll admit, I had no clue the proportioning valve was active like that.

Great explanation. I will need to check my 2014 Tundra but I don’t recall messing with a proportioning valve on the rear axle like I’ve done on prior trucks. As far as i remember, it was just 2 small brackets moving the brake lines only. But I’ll double check Thanks for great post

If you’re in Socal and need either 2 or 3” spacers for the bags lemme know. I switched to the cradles and have both size spacers if you want/need them

Bingo, exactly correct sir!! The 80 and 100 series Land Cruisers were SUPER sensitive to load and brakes.

Cool, I’ll bet you’ll be surprised how much nicer the steering/stability is with a little rake. And yeah, I’ve been off-roading my whole life and owned probably more than a dozen Toyota’s and agree, the traction control system in these things is freaking amazing. Was my first truck with it and...

For what it’s worth, with the TUNDRA, I’ve read and been told by various reliable sources, the truck is designed to be 3/4-1” higher in the rear for handling purposes. Also, the traction control works optimal like this. I did some testing with mine, and the truck handles noticeable better with...

A good rule of thumb from a reliability standpoint is to have the truck almost at the right height without the bags. As in, add leafs or whatever to your springs to get them close. Use the bags as a supplement, not as a lift That way if you’re in the middle of no where and have a bag or line...
