    Honestly, we didn’t mean to make fun of that setup at all. The comment at the bottom was added by Ricky. We just re-posted the story. I thought it was funny, but had no negative intentions posting it.
    We definitely don’t compare our campers to RTT’s, or make fun of people to promote our business. There are pros and cons to every setup. And that’s a nice setup!

    Sorry @BartMaster1234 !

    We’re not typically in this thread, because of plastic bed issues, but I’ll just leave this here...

    i am going to attempt to do my fuel filter this weekend with some TW 'help' on standby in St.Louis because I may also have to replace front fuel tube due to breakage
    it has not been changed since your truck was like totally brand new :( ... was told its a lifetime part and was refused to be changed upon request many times

    the last time I personally changed a fuel filter it looked like this with rubber hoses attached! and a simple reach over in the top engine compartment

    Give the fitting connections a dose of 50/50 ATF and acetone and let soak for a couple of days. Make sure to use line wrenches, not open ends. Good luck! Oh, and be prepared to get a spray of gas when they break free.

    Does anyone have any recommendations on front brake pads? Or I guess more importantly ones you disliked? Lol

    I was thinking Napa. Not sure if I can wait for an internet order shipping wait with the fuss they're making at the moment. And the dealership in my town likes to put it in dry .

    I have stock calipers.

    Before people come running in screaming at you to drop $300 on tundra brakes, give Akebono ceramic pads a shot along with a good flush and bleed. Great setup.

    Stop. Go to the store and buy the proper tools (flare nut wrench) before you round off the nut and have to then deal with replacing the fuel line or other solution.

    Agree on akebono... Been using them for some time now, really solid product. Pair them with Brembo rotors and you won't want to use anything else.

    For the rear, I just stick with oem.

    FWIW, used Napa pads in the wife's car, horrible.
