A lot of work! I like these pop up campers. That is light. Interesting to see what it weighs when your done. Rocky and Bullwinkle, funny. “Hey Rocky watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!”

Here are two pictures of the installation by the parking brake cable. Hope these help.

I would like to see what you do on the camper as well. The truck campers and travel trailers I had were in need of repair most of the time. I should state that if I put a camper on my truck now, I would definitely use the Tork Lifts I already have. I do like the Stable Lift but see your point on the weight. I was always removing things my wife and kids wanted to take camping, only necessities. I’ll get under my truck in a bit and see what’s going on with the parking brake.

I put Happijacs on my 94 F250. I also installed the recommended bar between the the plates for 4x4 trucks. The rears I put in the bumper, I didn’t like the idea of putting them in the bed wall. Never had any problems, I liked them. Had a big Western Wilderness on there. If I was to use a truck camper again I would go with Stable Lift. https://www.stablelift.com/

We got some snow today and it’s supposed to be cold for a few days. I’ll try to get a look at it when I can.

“ Install Torklift camper tie downs. I'm sure I'll sing a different song once these are on but tbh I'm not thrilled with the installation method. I feel like they could have done a much better job both fitting it to the vehicle in general and documenting the install.” My truck came with Torklift tie downs on it. So I don’t know about the install, but I’ll do what I can to help, pictures etc. I have used those tie downs a few times, not for a camper, but it was easier to tie down the load in my bed with those and some long and doubled up cargo straps.

Good job! Tough conditions to paint in. That bulb you ordered looks a little better than the one in your truck!

Welcome!

Speaking of high prices on diesels, particularly early Powerstokes. This one intrigues me. https://eugene.craigslist.org/cto/d/lake-oswego-1997-ford-250-4x4-73l-power/7448210642.html I have said I won’t get another diesel, but I like this one. But wonder what’s wrong with it. Obviously to me the seats and flooring have been redone. At least I didn’t think XLT’s came without carpet. Looks nice, low mileage. And I would be giving an E4OD another chance behind a pretty good amount of torque, turbocharged torque at that. No pictures of the engine. I imagine it’ll be gone before I get around to looking at it. But will be in that area next week. Hmmmm…

That’s great! Good job!

Firestone Ride Rites pooching out from between the frame and springs?

Sweet!

At first glance I was concerned, but they have the load on the right side of the hood to see. No problem!

Nice! That’s cool!

Welcome!

Nice score! No bidding war seems rare lately.

Nice find! A bit of discussion about this lately.

Bronco in my friends neighborhood.

Apparently it is!

Welcome!

My truck has a cutout over the front tank that was done before I bought it. My thought was they cutout to the easy one. I bought a bed floor replacement square from LMC. I was going to have a friend weld it in and thought since it’s there might as well leave it, so it’s screwed in. It had a piece of thin corrugated steel on it when I bought it, a little thicker than aluminum foil. Also I have a bed mat down and it’s under my saddle toolbox. I don’t like it because I use my truck and want a solid bed, but hasn’t been a problem so far. I’m curious also to see your results.

Well I’m the opposite, I like the buzzer better than the maddening dong sound of my 92 Bronco. Good luck.

Cool! Thanks!

Yes, that’s the hard part. I was thinking Dremel. Hope it cuts it.

Oh boy! I would have said, aw shucks and darn! Plans? A friend has a hammer like this with Plan B written on it.
