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 going to attempt to do my own install using angle iron or D rings and the factory bed mounting bolts. Anyone else gone the DIY route? How hard was it to remove the big hex bolts and install something?
3. Anyone store a bike inside their camper? Thought about installing a fork mount somewhere or wedging a 2x4 between the wheel well spots and mounting a through axle fork mount for my mountain bike.
4. Leg/jack removal? It appears most people remove the jacks and leave them at home. I will be on the road for 4 months and doubt I will be removing the camper from the truck. Doesn't seem like it's worth the hassle. I assume if I got a flat my factory jack could handle the extra weight to lift the truck with camper on?
