FOUR WHEEL CAMPERS THREAD

I seem to remember a thread about that on Wander The West.

 

I must be doing something wrong on wander the west but I type in the search bar "dogs" and just a bunch of random threads pop up non related.

 

I think it's a site issue. I can't remember if I saw it in the FWC forum or general but I do remember a thread devoted to dog ramps.

 

A few from October...

 

So rad.

 

This photo is not nearly as warm as my last.

 

Love this truck!, I was scared away from the four wheel camper idea cause of my 2.7l, but it seems like yours doesn’t have a problem with it! Can I ask what tires/suspension you are running?

 

what upgrades are needed on the suspension for something like this? Also how much does this kill the MPG?

So I am running Fox 2.0 shocks with 600lb coil springs upfront, Old Man Emu Dakar HD Hilux Leaf Springs and Timbren SES bumpstop shackle flip kit outback. I also did EBC stage 4 rotor/pad upgrade with SS brake lines from Stoptech. As for tires General Grabber AT2 load range E stock size just LT version.

Under the hood the "performance" mod has been charcoal filter delete and K/N filters everywhere.

I highly recommend the manual transmission with the 4cyl as it really helps with power deliver and fuel economy, which I average during the winter 17-20 and summer 20-22.

 

For reference.

How much did your guys suspension upgrades all cost, in total?

 

Which version? LOL
I've gone through three suspension revisions. If you do it right the first time it should be one and done. Unfortunately "right" is different for each truck/camper combo. I think the best thing to do is determine if the camper will be on the truck full time, what your camping loadout weight is and go from there.

 

I bought a combination of used and new parts --> some discounted, total around $1,100.

 

Makes sense, definitely hard to figure out as someone without ever having had a camper installed before.

 

I know it's probably a question that could easily be answered with a little research... but is this a model that's no longer produced? If I got a FWC I'd love for it to be flush with my 6 ft bed.

 

I want one like this how much was it

 

This is a Finch model. It is for sale actually. They don't make it anymore but do make a Swift which is the same length but wider.
