GoFastCamper GFC Mods, Tips, and Tricks thread.

Wow, that looks amazing. May have to try that, too!

 

Curious if anyone has the Martin off-road rack and left it on before installing their GFC?

 

I have the Martin full length rack and I had to cut it down before I installed the GFC

 

I have the Foundation Camper rack, so I’m hoping to put it on before the GFC install.

 

they will send you an email to have nothing installed on the roof or in the bed

 

Ah, maybe I'll double check with them first. Thanks!

 

Heard back from Mike at GFC: "If it is the rack that Martin Racks builds specifically for the GFC it should not matter either way. I am not sure it would change the install process in any way." So it's ok, I guess?

 

they are a leather flexible with some of the things they say not to have installed. If it’s the half rack from Martin, then it’s one of those loophole items. I had some upgraded bed rail sides like @fatfurious2 and they still installed ours even though they clearly state to remove them

 

Wow, easiest mod I've done in my life!

 

Looks excellent! I bought a second one for my tundra.

 

Anyone using the ICON RXT leaf pack with a GFC camper on? Wondering if I should set it to option 3 or 2 before getting the camper.

 

recently sold the RXT pack that I’ve had from day 1, gen1 camper, but had it on option 3 to give the proper lift and rake. Upgraded to Deaver 700-1000lbs as I’ve added more weight and while the Icon RXT leaf pack was good it did begin to settle more over time to a position that wasn’t working well with towing a trailer at times as well. otherwise the option/stage 3 was great.

 

that looks great, hope I can make mine look as good.

 

I used 3/8" grommets. Did not use the bar.

 

Im planning on upgrading from OME HD Dakars + AAL to Deaver S3 this year

 

You won’t be disappointed. It raised the rear another 2 inches with the same weight so I had to remove the batwing awning to get in the garage. Mainly did the upgrade in anticipation of a C4 high clearance rear bumper install later this month and I knew it would be a necessity over the Icon RXT setup. Should settle back nicely but we’ll see

 

I used both the bar and the grommets.... the bar after cutting it down slightly fits int the curve of the upper side bars and that'll help carry a bit more weight as I have it crammed full of stuff

 

I run the RXT on my truck with a Vagabond Drifter with a 270 awning and full bed build-out. I don't have any bumpers or other exterior mods in the back. The truck probably 600-700lbs in the rear on a daily basis and another couple hundred for a camping trip (including a full bike rack). I'm super happy with it after about two years; it's a perfect balance for me of handling daily weight without getting too overloaded when I'm packed to the gills.

 

So you have it set at option 3 then it sounds like?

 

Yep, sorry, meant to include that bit!

Edit: Sits at about 2 inches of lift with camper and build out. I'd say it drops about an inch fully loaded. For reference, the front is lifted about 2.5 inches and I'm running 285/70r17 KO2s. So it's pretty level unloaded and a slight rear sag fully loaded.
