Torklift Frame Mount Question (why two holes)

The two hole thing doesn't solve my Chevy fuel door problem.

I had to swap the anchors left to right on mine in order to get an angle that clears the fuel door. With the left anchor in the left mount and the right anchor in the right mount, there was no angle at which the turnbuckle did not block my fuel door. Since it required two wrenches and several minutes to disconnect, this was not acceptable. By swapping the anchors I created a new rearward hole that cleared the fuel door and still gives me a good angle on the chains.

I suppose that between different brands of campers, where tie down point is located, etc. That gas tank door may be a problem. My fastgun just misses with a little nudge.

Thanks for the quick reply! That was exactly what I was looking for.

My opinion. I think that they are giving you a couple of options for the best angle. I tend to use the higher hole on both ends of truck. I also use fastguns. Torklift has top notch customer service. Call them and ask them.

It's an optional hole in case you want to avoid blocking the fuel filler door. I don't think it matters for those of us with Fastguns. BTW, Torklift has manuals on their site as well as youtube videos.

Answer: There are two ways that you can try to help clear your fuel door. The first option is to use the FastGun Lever Action, Springloaded Turnbuckle. When using the FastGun, simply lift the lever to disconnect the fast gun that is blocking your fuel door, fuel up your truck and reconnect the fast gun to your tie down and camper anchor point. The second option is the welded on triangular bullet plate, you will notice that there are two holes on the triangular plate - one at the pointed end of the plate and one above the insert arm on the tiedown. Simply move your chain/turnbuckle from the hole at the pointed end of the triangular plate to the hole located above the insert arm.
