I grabbed a FWC Eagle off this forum 2 months ago. Been living in it photographing america since. I run a fridge off my 200w solar and additional 120lb battery, I have a 5gal drinking water jug, solar shower on the roof, and spare gas on the back. I have my mountain bike jammed inside and my...

Thanks. This website was a super helpful resource in getting me set up + finding the camper.

So I am spending the next 3 months in my Tacoma & Eagle travelling and photographing parks, landscapes and cities. Here's the first few days of the trip - more lifestyle stuff: http://imgur.com/a/GZFZa

Thanks for this guys. I'll also be in the area mid- late may.

So I am a photographer and have a freelance gig to shoot cities and landscapes for the next 5 months. I have a FWC Eagle I picked up thanks to this website on my 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. Route: 1. Washington DC 2. NC and Atlanta GA 3. Louisiana (New Orleans) 4. Texas (Houston and Dallas) 5...

Not to highjack the thread but thoughts on sizes for tires? I have a Tacoma and was thinking of doing a LT245-75-17 instead of LT265 70 17.. Slightly narrower but still ~the same height. My overlanding will be 90% highway and the rest is gravel or logging roads etc. Thought it might help with...

14 more sleeps before I head off for 4 months of testing :)

http://www.geminigassprings.com/ They are currently custom making me the gas springs. $30cdn. Great customer service.

I did. They said anything over 36" is custom. ~$100 each.

Reallllly. LS Industries in Saskatoon has em to but they are $68. Anyone know what the compressed length needs to be?

While I appreciate the intent you, however guys keeps citing the 35.43" strut not the 40".

Anyone have a link to SUSPA 40" 40lb struts? Can't find any in canada. Help? :)

I came across dino tracks in northern BC and was pretty disappointed to see someone else had tried to etch out a square around the tracks to steal one: http://imgur.com/a/n9vTW What the hell is wrong with people.

Yeah, I was going to go for something like that. I have a fridge in the middle where your jerry can box is and I'm a bit worried about pedals scratching things up but I guess with some care it can be done.

haha I was just thinking about this empty space. Contraband is what came to mind. :D

Couldn't seem to find any of your images related to your frame mounting technique. I have the Eagle shell model and I suspect I am sitting at around 900lbs in it's current form. (battery, solar and roof rack.) I have firestones and LT Cooper tires. Truck seems to handle it fine...

I'd love to see a photo too! Sounds interesting.

Yes, the battery is massive. 130lbs apparently. https://www.vmaxtanks.com/XTR4D-200-12Volts-200AH-Deep-Cycle-XTREME-AGM-Battery-_p_165.html Probably overkill for me but it's installed and I'll use it.

Bought this one: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/14075-sold-2010-fwc-eagle-andor-2003-toyota-tundra/ I'm in Ontario and ended up doing a 17hr drive to Ohio and back to get it. Got dinged pretty bad a the border for duty and taxes too.

Thank you for the time and thoughtful responses. The only reason why I want my bike inside is because I am going to be spending some time in places like Raleigh and Atlanta etc., and I'd rather have it out of sight from some opportunistic thief. Dangling a $3k bike infront of a meth head =...

Few items, I just picked up a used 2010 FWC Eagle for my double cab long box 2nd gen Taco. 1. Has anyone taken a hack saw to the front bumpers of their camper to shave them down an inch or two? The gap between the cab and the camper seems unnecessarily massive on mine. 2. Mounting it. I'm...

Dang, doesn't look too terrible for $1300!

Hopefully picking this up on Saturday :)

What did you end up weighing this rig to be? I have a Palomino pop up camper on my 6ft box 4x4 tacoma and weighed it loaded up, with me in it at 5800lbs. My gvwr is 5480. Not sure that I can shave 300lbs off the weight.

I'm also looking for one on the East coast - Ontario. If anyone has one to sell or finds one online I have cash in hand..
