With all new TorkLift tie downs, FastGun turnbuckles, and a bed mat, I will still be several thousand dollars below what I had anticipated spending.
I will keep you all posted regarding any necessary truck modifications, as well as some photos as soon as I can. My mechanic is going to install my tie downs tomorrow afternoon, and I hope to pick up the little camper Wednesday or Thursday. I am sure that I will have some other questions, as well.
