I received my Fleet camper in January and have been reading Wandering the West since before then. This forum is rich with information. Because of my research on this sight I've added Bilstein 5100 Shocks, Firestone Air Bags, and BF Goodrich K2 tires to my 2005 Tacoma.
When I bought my camper I chose not to buy some of the accessories that in time I could add at a considerable savings. My first project is installing yakima tracks. I've accumulated the various supplies necessary to complete the task but am reluctant to drill holes until I'm sure of where the aluminum sub-frame is located in the roof. With the newer Four Wheel Camper one piece roof it is difficult to know where to position the track so that the screws acquire a good purchase on the aluminum sub frame. I've tried to feel through the roof to find where to position the track with limited success.
My question is directed to Fleet owners that had their tracks factory installed. What is the measurement from the outside edge of the roof to the outside edge of the Yakima track? Your help would be most appreciated.
