    Hey all -

    I've had my 2016 Tacoma for about a year now, but just picked up the Northstar Truck Camper a few weeks ago and love it so far. I've lurked on here for awhile, but figured I'd finally sign up as I always get questions when I'm out camping with it from other Tacoma owners.

    Only mods to the truck so far are:

    - TRD pro grill
    - Torklift truck camper frame mounts
    - Timbren SES in rear
    - Falken Wildpeak 265/75/16 E rated

    Truck handles the camper well - I live on the MA/RI border but have done a few trips to NH and VT so far. Main goal is to be my parking lot cabin for ski season.

    Welcome!

    Was the camper originally made for a long bed?

    Model was designed to fit long or short bed, per manufacturer.
