Thanks Tim.Living The Dream said:Ouray. Congrats on the decision. I think you'll be very happy with it once you are out camping. In regards to the sale, there is a different part of the site the 'gear exchange' http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/forum/15-gear-exchange/
Not sure how to price a project like yours but I am sure someone will take the torch. Looking forward to seeing you awesome truck with the new camper.
Side note: what brakes do you run on your tundra. Was coming down a steep trail today and was full on the brakes and still moving a bit, not the funnest way to travel. Was not full puckers but defiantly a sign to redo the brake before winter. Let me know what you are running for brakes if you have a chance. - Tim
Yeah, I think a new shell will give me plenty to do. I just did the airbag install yesterday. I am still frustratingly stuck on deciding Hawk vs Grandby, and the FWC guys said I need to decide this week. Ugh
OK, I will look at that link to sell the old one. Agree, I have no idea where to price it. I guess just post it and put offer.
Funny you talk about the brakes. A few buddies with first gens just did black bear and talked about how sketchy the brakes are on the downhill. They are definitely undersized. I spoke to a guy at the last FWC show, and he spoke about the scary braking when the camper is on, and he had a big ram truck. I need to do some serious thinking about it. My front rotors are pretty warped right now. There is a guy on the first gen group doing a big brake upgrade kit, so you might keep an eye out. I also have a buddy in Cali that races yotas, and he recommended sticking with OEM rotors. This is something we need to really think about living in the steep mountains.
Are the brakes worse now on the new truck than on your old truck?
