I'm working on a flatbed camper for my double cab 1st gen Tundra as well! I had a 2006 and rolled it on black ice over the weekend but was able to pick up a 2004 from someone locally the next day. I picked up an aluminum flatbed off FB marketplace so decided to build the camper out of aluminum to match the bed + gives me an excuse to learn to weld aluminum. I'll be following along your build!

What a rollercoaster. Glad you found a new one. I was tempted to do aluminum for the weight, but the cost is significantly higher. It will be fun to contrast the two when we both have campers!

You mentioned throwing bags on for when you've got a buncha weight in the back causing sagging, I'd make sure you aren't exceeding the weight limit of your axle. Can have all the "sag prevention" in the world, but it won't mean squat(heh) if it's too much for your axle.
@Socaladv
@Socaladv Күн бұрын
Absolutely agree. The truck rated payload is 1800lbs. I’m aiming for less than 1000lbs once the camper is on it. But if we need to upgrade, l will cross that bridge when we get to it. I don’t want to over beef the back before I know what the camper weighs in at.

I couldn’t say enough good things about Mosko moto (woodsman pant) the jacket is Alpine stars and it’s great but it’s a little heavy. It does have a lot of features which is what drew me to it. If I could re buy, I would get a jacket with no armor and wear some armor under it, like a chest protector etc. For boots I love my alpine stars tech 7s and 10s (7s when I might be walking a lot, 10s when I want the most protection)

It depends on what your expectations are. It’s definitely gonna be way heavier. It feels way more planted and the comfort and power compared to the crf300, is very noticeable. I think the thing with these big adv bikes is learning to use the bike to do the work for you.
