    I suggested the guy on FB join TW did he? These damn campers are a blast I think I have had more fun modding this thing than the truck and I've done some pretty big mods to this.

    Very well thought out & it appears to be built rock solid. I love it.
    No way in hell would my wife want to use it though.
    She thought our 38' Road Warrior Toy Hauler was cramped for space when it was loaded.
    Maybe one day.

    My wife and I do the same thing, we cook in the house, run dinner out to the trailer where the AC has been running, eat and watch a movie. We even let the dog inside with us. Life is good Brother.

    Well back in the spring I did all the work adding the 2 1/2" lift and hub adapters to fit the Tundra wheels and it worked and the camper matched perfectly with the truck with the new bumper and higher hitch point. I just couldn't trust the hub adapters so I removed them and put the tock wheels and tires back on. When I hooked the camper back up it sat just a bit lower than I wanted so I got a set of Cooper AT's in 235/75/15 and had them installed. This was a stock size for the TM's off road version so I was confident they would fit and clear the camper.

    with stock tires


    Size difference


    So mounted up there isn't a huge difference but it's fine for now.





    The true fix will be the Timbren suspension but at around $1200 or more it'll have to wait and this will work just fine. Thanks @Wild Crow for being my sounding board through all this. We learned some short comings on our trip up the mountain and I am trying to fix the issues but money isn't limittless. This should be a good functional solution
