    For sale: FWC 2012 Fleet

    Location: Redlands, CA Well… I just picked up my new Fleet three weeks ago, got back to work, and I have an opportunity to go to Australia for 3 – 5 years. Good grief! I guess I could store the camper while I'm gone, but am open to selling it if I can do so without a huge loss...

    Tire size question...

    I just bought a 2006 Tundra access cab 4x4. I see on the original window sticker that the standard size tires are P245/70R16. This truck has the TRD option, which came with P265/70R16. I need to replace the tires, and was thinking of going with P245/75R16. I want to go a little narrower for...

    FWC stereo option question

    Anyone have this? I doubt that I would ever use this, I seldom listen to the radio in my truck. I like it quiet. But I just remembered that both of my sons are likely to borrow my truck/camper, and they will definitely want tunes at night. I'm sure all they would want is something to plug...

    Favorite interior fabric?

    I'm fine tuning my FWC order and need to decide on fabric. Tan - I think this looks the best but is likely to get dirty given you need to stand on the couch to reach the bed. Deer Valley Apache - kind of cool, but would it look/feel so 70's in a few years? Of course it would, but maybe that's...

    New FWC layout - what do you think?

    I'm on the verge of ordering, and now I need to consider this new layout. I would put storage where the porta potty is, but other than that I kinda like it https://picasaweb.google.com/115013351620998838572/FleetSC?authkey=Gv1sRgCIjwlYuz9Y_SXg#

    Tire pressure and airbag pressure questions

    I've got a 2006 Tundra 4x4 and will be installing E rated tires and Firestone airbags to support a FWC camper. I've never had this kind of tire, or airbags, and my first camper. So, I'm pretty clueless about what my tire and airbag pressure should be in these scenarios: No camper - Highway...

    Tires - how aggressive do I need to go?

    I've got a 2006 Tundra 4x4, and am looking to put a Four Wheel Camper on it. Everyone seems to recommended E rated tires, so I've started looking at these. Most of my mileage is highway, and then some desert roads and Sierra east side forest service roads. Some are 4x4 rated roads but I'm...

    Qestions re purchase of 2006 Tundra - fuel injection system flush/powertrain module

    I'm looking to buy a used 2006 Tundra. I have found one with 36k miles, that looks like new. The carfax shows all regular service at a dealer. It shows "Engine/powertrain computer/module checked" about 6 months after purchase. It also lists a fuel injection system flush service at 12k miles...

    1st gen Tundra - what size tires will fit without lift?

    I've got a 2006 Tundra 4x4. Stock tires are 245/70/16 = 29.5" x 9.6" / 16". Can I install these tires without doing a lift? 265/75/16 = 31.6" x 10.4" / 16". This would be 2.1" taller and .8" wider.

    I'm looking for a 1st gen Tundra and I've found a 2006 and the color is Bluesteel. The truck is several hundred miles from me so I've not seen it, and I've never seen Bluesteel. Have you seen this color? Do you like it? Colors on the web can vary greatly - does this have a purple hue or tint...

    Found 2006 Tundra with 17k miles

    I found an immaculate 2006 Tundra TRD 4x4 auto with V8, with just 17k miles for $23k. This is full KBB value, so can probably get the price down some. Are there any issues to expected with a vehicle that's been driven so few miles? I'm looking for a truck for a FWC camper. New Tundra's are...

    question re 3" lift on 1st gen Tundra

    I just found a 2006 Tundra with 60k miles. Original owner, looks beautiful. But... it has a 3"lift. I don't know anything about these things, prefer stock, so am wondering what this lift might mean for performance, stability on mild off-road, mpg. I am buying the truck for a FWC pop-up...

    1st gen Tundra or new Tacoma for FWC?

    I'm looking to get a FWC camper and need to get a truck. I really like the size of the 1st gen Tundras and like that they have a V8. I can get an 05 or 06 for $15 - $20k. Should I be concerned about buying a truck that is 5 years old with 50 - 60k miles? I haven't bought a used car since I...
