Four Wheel Camper (FWC) Thread

How’s the towing with the side by side? Looking at the same setup for mine. Pull a side by side a lot for hunting trips and was wondering how the weight affected the truck.

 

No problems, it pulls really well.

 

You guys with the Project M's, how have you attached them, bolt of camps? I just got my new tundra and need to get my M on it here shortly. I don't live too far from Woodland, so I will have them hook it up most likely, but just curious of how folks mounted them. If clamps, how often are you having to tighten them? I had mine bolted into my old GMC.

 

Are you installing it or is FWC in woodland doing it? If they are they have an install kit. There are a few holes to be drilled. And the bracket is just aluminum angle iron that gets bolted into your bed rails.

 

Just got back from a 10 day road trip spent a night at Great Basin nat park, the onto Moab, did arches, canyonlands. And hit a killer hot spring on the way back in Monroe Utah. Project m was killer. The 350watt panel kicked ass and allowed for the power station to recover well. I did op in for the thermal pack and I’m glad I did. It kept us 15ish degrees cooler inside. With dual fans it was so comfy and even chilly at night. Moab riding is out of this world!

 

I will have woodland do it for sure. The bed rails and solid side panel are above my level of knowhow to deal with. Any pictures you have of what they put on for you? Knowing they are usually some time out on things and wanting to get 1,000 miles in before I put any load on the new truck, it will be a bit of time before I get it over to them.

Thanks for the help

 

If you are having FWC woodland do it the. They are going to charge you a “install” fee . The provide the hardware and brackets , they preform the water seal, gaskets and fitment not sure how you feel but CA sales taxes suck donkey balls, do yourself a solid and drive to FWC of Idaho/mt you’ll save 2k in sales tax alone. I’m in Reno, no way I would ever give that state my money.

 

Yes, I live in CA, so I understand the issue with state taxes. I already own the camper shell. I've had it for two years now. Just switching trucks. It would cost me that to trailer it up to Idaho anyway.

 

Not a FWC but an ATC. The original founder of FWC sold the company and then started All Terrain Campers after a predetermined amount of time. Built the same exact way.

 

I pick up my Project M tomorrow! I'm super excited

 

If you get the chance, can you take some photos of how it is attached?

 

Just traded in my taco for this 2019 tundra. Moved my fleet on to it. Had to build a 2x4 frame plus a 3/4 mat on top. Suprisingly rides and sits pretty level on bone stock suspension. Still planning on HD leafs either OME or Icon RXT’s

 

Man, I'm so happy with this thing. Did a two-night moto trip this past weekend for the first trip! With the bike and all the gear on the back, I was happy to have airbags and HD leafs.

 

Truck and Camper setup looks great. Is your truck a long bed or short bed? If long bed, any special issues fitting or sealing the Project M to the bed rails?

 

long bed, no issues with water or dust. I got some good 3m buytl tape, and sealed up the rest the factory did not. again zero issues, I have a tailgate seal on as well.

 

dope man, really sweet. I had a custom mattress made here locally with Q21 foam. its the shit! way better than the factory bed.

 

Added a secondary back up cam on the camper this afternoon. I used a marine style gasket thing and the camera has a plug and play connecter with the OEM harness just underneath the tailgate/bumper so its easy to switch back whenever. When I have my dirt bike on the hitch rack I cant see anything through the tailgate handle one.
It was from https://tailgatecamera.com/collecti...-tundra-hd-camera-kit-with-oem-wiring-harness

 

Does anyone that has used insulation board to lift a camped have photos from the rear?

 

I saw this beauty parked at the local FWC dealer (Off Grid 4x4) today. Anyone here? Sweet rig!

 

More pictures of project m on crewmax please. I’m really considering one. I miss having a Fwc.

 

Do it! I love mine. Here's a few from my most recent trip over the 4th of july. First trip with the awning and it was awesome

 

Ironically, I'm only on the Tundra Forum now because I am getting out of my previous Four Wheel Camper. Slowly grew out of my 1991 VW Westfalia and just picked up a 2021 1794. It's got WAAAAYYY more power (the Tundra).

 

Sick! Awesome build. Let’s see the interior.

Also, nice dog. I too have a German shepherd who loves camping.

 

Beautiful dog man! Mine would be going nuts next to those hens hahaha. The interior is still pretty stock right now. I just got a Goal Zero Yeti 4000 on prime day for power so the interior build is just about to start

 

100% no dust, even tested it it on some thicc nevada playa dirt roads. Nothing inside.

 

Really want to be back in a truck camper after finding more old pics of my old truck and fwc. I miss this little truck. It was super fun on trials.

 

Some updated photos out in the wild.

 

Man I love a clean single cab. Amazing setup!

 

What’s the weight in your slide in?

 

According to the sticker, 1106 lbs with standard equipment (20 gallon water, full propane, etc).
