The Official Unofficial Super Pacific X1 Camper Thread

Are you going to caravan up with the Bay Area crew (@frenchee & @blackmist27 )?

 

very nice glade to hear it i haven't gotten mine kind of happy too cause im so busy right now.

 

Yah that’s the plan. We will have install all the same day

 

So jealous. I thought I was in the same general batch as you guys, but I haven't heard anything. Congrats. If you don't mind my asking, when did you place your original orders?

 

Early September but prob dormant matter all that much. Most of the 2nd gens took more time.

 

Sick!!! I’ll be in Bend that first weekend of April if you guys roll that way.

 

Nice, we may be able to make that happen! send those measurements from the cab to tent =)

 

My install is on Monday the 15th! sounds like someone else is also getting an install that morning! who is it!?!?!?!?

 

yea, sorry dude! I'm pulling the truck out today and will snag for ya.

 

I took a quick look at RCIs website. Engine skid in 12ga steel is 45lb, transmission case is 40lb. For those playing along at home, the alumin(i)um variants are 30lb each (Tundra). So I was ~5lb high on my estimate.

 

12 ga is like .1". Makes sense! Pretty thin but at least its light.

 

Dont be jealous theres always a silver lining lol.
Although they have tested fitment on a first gen, you never know and I might be a good guinea pig before yours. Although you have a long bed.

 

I’m just whining. But if you remember in all the excitement let me know how well it fits our skinny bed rails and what the gap is between the overhang and the cab roof. Wondering if I can fit a small table in there like with the Alu-Cab. But most of all have fun and enjoy the trip.

 

Unlikely if the heights are the same between 1st/2nd/3rd gen Tacomas.
My Drifter on my 1st gen had VERY little room underneath. On the 2nd gen I gained maybe 1/2". When mounted on a 3rd gen, it would clear the sharkfin (which is over 2") since the bedsides on the 3rd gen are higher.

 

Of course man. You'll get plenty of pics when its on.
Thanks, shoulld be a good trip!

 

It's the last thing I'm worried about. I've got a 2012 Crewmax. They are nicely overbuilt. I have no idea where they get these lousy payload numbers. I would upgrade springs as necessary and enjoy the ride.

 

4" from rubber strip to underside of tent overhang measured at the door.

 

Hell yeah! HMU when you guys are in town maybe I’ll have time to do something or at least grab a beer with you guys

 

Def a meet will happen

 

Nice thank you did you measure on the rubber? I think that is perfect and more room than I thought
