Did the Pcv fixed it for a bit and it came back. Changed plugs too. Everything’s clean, doesn’t burn oil, checked throttle bottle, intake and pcv seems to be doing what it should. I just ignore it now and I’m at 100k been doing it since around 60k
With the Eagle, I do not believe it will close. I think if you found a Finch or the SWIFT I believe it is, it would fit because those are made for short beds.
My bike rack is a Thule T2 with an extension.I think it is a 8" or 10" extension. No swing away. I have a clamp on the extension so it doesn't rattle or jump around. Did lots of miles with this and worked great. Also use the rack as stairs to get in to the camper. Haven't had a problem
Mine came back, been like this for 40k miles. I’m at 99k runs good I stopped worrying about it. I cannot figure it out. It did go away for awhile with the new pcv but came back quickly
Yup!Just got a 2022 Tacoma and have a 4 Wheel Camper on order .. the Swift model. I get it in two weeks. Will be nice to have a camper rather then camping out of my old Ford Explorer or the Subaru Crosstrek I traded on the Tacoma.
On the exterior it was some laminate from Lowes that I cut to fit. It was probably 1/8" thickness some sort of plastic material. The inside was a thin material for walls. Thinest possible to reduce weight. Exterior I added insulation between wall and some wood for support, siliconed well and screws. Hope this helps
Great video. Would you be able to show the mounting points in the box? You mention the "short bed install mounts". I am looking to put the same camper in my 5ft. Tacoma and wonder how much I would have to alter the box to mount it. Thank you.
If you google or contact FWC tell them you need the mounts for a short bed. They are where the turnbuckles will mount to since our bed is composite you do not want to mount to the little mounts we have in the bed. The mounts from FWC screw into the bed bolts and you mount off those large pieces of metal. I do not have any pictures currently but when I do get ready to put this back on for the summer shortly I will try to upload a video
Yes I do, and I dig it. My round nose I had quick steer and a steering plate. I think a steering plate would benefit the ski even more. I would still def put the quick steer on even if you go with a plate though. You will notice a difference from stock to the quick steer that is for sure.
Anywhere between 9.5 to 13.5. Usually 13, going up passes in Oregon I was into the 9's but that is also me keeping it steady at 65-70 mph. Also driving around 70-75 mph on most highways. Hope this helps man
Nice. I have a Travel Lite 690FD hard sided camper, made specifically for a mid size truck. I ran it for 10 years on my 2008 regular cab 4x4 but just gave that truck to my daughter, am in the process of moving it to a 2022 TRD Sport Access Cab 4x4. These trucks handle campers fine.
Your Tacoma has a max payload of less than 1200 lbs in the double cab configuration. You cannot increase factory payload, you simply can't do it. Any weight added to your Tacoma, extra springs, airbags, anything, adds to the overall weight, and must actually be deducted from your payload. If you have added 75 lbs. to your weight through aftermarket upgrades, you have just made your available payload even less by the same 75 lbs. Payload must include the passengers, fuel, anything in the bed which includes the camper dry weight, water, gear and anything else you are carrying. Your dry weight camper, upgrades, you, tank of fuel, water, the whole bit, probably has you sitting at at least 300 lbs over but probably closer to 500 lbs. over the allowable GVW for your truck...you are now illegally overloaded. If you are pulled over in a Canadian Province or US State and are weighed, you are driving an illegal load. A new Ranger might get you roughly legal, but you need to remember that the Toyota Hilux trucks sold outside of N. America have roughly 1000 lbs. payload more than the ones sold here, people are being lead to believe that they can carry these, you can't. Suspension upgrades are attached to increase ride quality, not to increase payload, and as I have already pointed out, anything you add to the truck, even heavier tires, decreases your available payload. Go ahead and do this if you want, but don't advise others to do so. The truck's handling, braking, and overall safety are now seriously compromised.
I am well aware of the payload issues. I’m not advising people to ignore their payloads, I am literally explaining how I carry this camper in my truck, the safest way possible given the circumstances. You know before the Internet no one cared about payload. If it worked, you did it. I’m not crunching numbers and worrying about that, I’m a bit overload my truck did great on a 3k trip no problems. Do you see all the pos cars pulling trailers down the road? Way more worrisome than a camper in the truck. A trailer being pulled behind a car that isn’t made to pull it is far more dangerous. Anyways, thanks for the insight, however not once did I advise people to go against their payload. I’m frankly showing what I do. As do 100s of others who put campers in their Tacomas. Also, the majority of campers in full-size trucks are too heavy too. They are over payload. Unless it’s a 250/350 3/4 ton. Have a good day, and remember just send it 🤘
@@LiveWayOut I get what you are doing, I just don't like the camper companies claiming these campers work for Tacomas...now if we could buy a Hilux in Canada or the States, that would be a different story altogether, as the Hilux payload would be closer to 2200 lbs.
@@geographyinaction7814I have not seen a single report of any of all those terrible things that you predict will happen when installing a camper on the bed of a Tacoma. Isn’t it weird?
How much does your camper weigh? Do you use airbags in the back or E rated tires? People have a tendency not to pay attention to going over the weight of the truck. 🖖
Why an E rated tire for a 6K pound rig... ? It is loaded sure, but ALL the time ? Most tires are 2 or 3 ply sidewalls, KO2s are 3 ply with your E range tires having 10 TOTAL tread & sidewall. I'd be more concerned with 3/4 of ton in a lite duty 1/2 ton, which you've helped with suspension upgrades and Toyota are slightly overbuilt, but you still have the same stock 1/2 ton axles and components in the axle. The gearing would be on the forefront with my concerns.
I have always ran E rated tires on this truck. Out here in the Southwest the trails are full of nasty jank and damage sidewalls before anything else usually. I don't offroad as much as I used to but I have always ran E rated on every rig I have owned and never have had problems. Sure tad bit rougher ride but the insurance for me is worth it. Yes you are right you can only build the truck to a point and it is still a tiny mid size with stock axles. When I have weight I don't drive it fast or hard and it does fine. I did the best bang for your buck modifications to haul this camper with, still be able to offroad my truck, and haul anything I may need to. Spending 3500 in gears just isn't something that is a priority since most of the time I am going 5-6 hours with the camper. If it aint broke don't fix it and save it is my motto lol
Thanks man! Those are beautiful. That was the original color I tried to purchase!! Videos are slow right now I’m sorry but I do have a couple more cool taco videos I’ll push out soon 🤘
My license plate is in my rear window. When you take the license plate off on the tacoma there is an opening, I can reach it through there, weird angle but it is doable. You can also use half the attachment and a socket from under the truck. Again not perfect but doable.
Camper is about 950lbs dry, with water and gear more. I had a shell and rtt on prior which was around 500 lbs combined and I just ran option 3 Icon leaf pack. But once loaded for trips I would sit level or slightly sag. Add a leaf and airbags will be plenty for that weight. What camper?
Based on my truck computer which is never fully accurate, fully loaded with water and gear, between 13-14 mpg. On some passes in third running around 65 it would drop to 12.5 but then the flats in 5th or 4th would pull it back to 14. So my guess would be a consistent 13-13.5 running around 70mph consistently. I’m pretty happy with it considering tire size and stock gearing.
Absolutely love it. It does not feel much bigger at all once you get comfortable on it. It is super fun and linear power, absolutely shreds. Steering is slow as hell though so I just installed a quick steer plate. Haven't had it in the water yet with that but in two weeks I will, gonna post an updated video too.
@@LiveWayOut yea only complaint i’ve really heard of is the cavitation on hard turns. seems like a solid buoy ripper. turbo kit would be nuts! i’ve ridden a boosted tr-1 ex.
Simplicity is everything when it comes to overlanding. Cuz cost less, it’s lighter and less break down. Check my build I used same reflective material for creating privacy inside rig if I don’t sleep at top
jose jr Araiza it’s a short bed. I’m 5’6 and have to sleep at an angle. I have a trailer now and only use this if I can’t get the trailer where I wanna go. It’s comfy but not a lot of room
