With my FWC I have to have the tailgate down, and the camper comes to rest 1-2" in from the edge of the tailgate. I got a Yakima Backswing to use with my Kuat 2-bike tray rack. Right now I can only have one mountain bike on there at a time, on the outer tray; there's too much handlebar...

Update: This was a pretty significant pain in the ass, but I eventually got everything worked out and just got back from a successful maiden voyage camping around Wyoming and Montana. 1. Certain of the Tacoma bed bolts were extremely difficult to remove (as in, even extractors didn't work) but...

Thanks Living The Dream. Your YouTube content has been super helpful on a number of different issues. Unfortunately, at least the current Tacoma bed bars won't fit the rear-most set of bolts. They have two sets of holes: one that fits the front set, and one that fits the middle set. For...

Thanks, Stan. I think the camper would fit with the bed bar mounted on the rear set of bolts, but it would be close and I'd have to measure it out precisely before going that route. For the option of changing the location of the tie-down mounts on the camper itself, this does seem like the...

I've got a dilemma with my tie-down situation and I'm wondering if anyone has some thoughts or advice to offer. I have an older Fleet with a 7.5' base length that I need to tie down to my 2014 long-bed (~6') Tacoma. When in the truck with the tailgate down, the camper comes to rest about 1" in...

Thanks, Stan. I think I might do this. How wide of plates do you use, looks like maybe 5-6"?

Thanks jim. Agreed that something like the rolling cart would be helpful. Looking to snag an old utility trailer off Craigslist or else build a platform on wheels in the next couple months.

Thanks for the feedback. Did you bend the legs on these Brophy jacks specifically? Also, did you bend such that its flush across the front side now?

I recently bought a rebuilt 1983 Fleet after a couple years of looking for a used FWC, and I'm fired up about it. Among other supplemental purchases to get going, I bought four cable camper jacks to take it on and off my truck...
