Fleet on a tundra

[Brentc17]

Regular 2x4 had hanging around. The 2x6 on the side is not structure. Just a skirt for looks. Painted white to match camper

Thanks again for your build info and clear pics. One final simple question: is your build a platform that the camper rests on or is it attached as a permanent structure to the camper base?

On your Torklift front turnbuckles, how many inches did you cut? Since we both have gen 2 Tundras and 5" platforms thought your mods would be same for me. Thanks again

Not sure if this went thru but about 5 inches. Just make sure there is enough to be strong but not bottom out

bottom of turnbuckle = 5.0"?

I am about to put a fleet in my 2009 2nd gen tundra. My platform is already built but I had planned to put it on top of my plastic bedliner. Do I need to remove the bedliner or our others successfully running this setup with the plastic bedliner in place? I know FWC says to remove them first.

take out the bedliner!
