Four Wheel Campers Shell Model Tour
A detailed walkthrough of our Four Wheel Campers pop-up truck camper. We opted out of most FWC factory options so we could build it out ourselves.
We couldn't find a video like this when we were shopping around, so we wanted to make this for other people to watch before they buy. Hope it helps!
The truck is a Toyota Tacoma with a double cab and long bed (6 ft), making our camper their Fleet Shell model.

How to Upgrade to Heavy Duty Suspension
Просмотров 40 тыс.4 года назад
I show you how to upgrade the rear suspension (leaf springs) on your Toyota Tacoma, to handle the weight of your overland gear and roof top tent. This is the first video I have ever made, and it was quite a learning experience. Any suggestions for how I can improve would be greatly appreciated!

Just watch two guys installing emo rear springs. OMG it was like watching a 3 ring circus including the popcorn. Your install and removing was very informative. I wish they would have looked at your video first. They did this Dec 1, 2024. For me watching them at 76 years old this was free entertainment.😂
😂 Now I dont feel lame…thanks for the entertainment !
this is the kinda video I was looking for gracias señor tyler
Savage 1st video! I would of quit hour 2.
Can I run that same leaf kit on a stock Tacoma. I use it for work and constantly have tools in the bed
Super helpful! Thank you!
Cool thanks;! The Wife and I , just got back from a tour of four wheel campers . They had that model and many other ones you can pick from! I believe I want the project M . But will see what the Misses wants Thanks for sharing.
The Dom Mazzetti references are killing me 🤣
Best video intro ever. If video have stupid intros i generally click off.
Thank you. I can hardly watch most RUclips videos anymore for this reason
You are incredibly hilarious, I’m in love with your channel already!
Wow, thank you!
Tyler. Good video. You picked a topic with a lot of steps which makes it hard to make sure you’ve covered everything. Keeping it “real” it what viewers like I think. For your next one, tackle a smaller topic on the camper.
Thank you for that feedback.
Great video
Do these suspension upgrades such as the leaf spring upgrade change if I have a 2wd Tacoma? I’m a builder so I have a lumber rack and fully loaded tool box on my truck, so I want a more capable and comfortable suspension
They shouldn’t although it would be best to know more about your truck and what products you’re looking at buying
This video answered all my questions. Thanks for doing bro!
This fuckin' video. THIS MUTHA FUCKIN VIDEO. Saved me today. 1,000% I couldn't have done this by myself without this video. Wish I could like it a million times. My taco went from the sad sag to looking like a real truck. Thank you for this video.
Wow, thank you for this awesome comment! 🤙
Awesome video
Thank you!
@@wanderingwinterfields gotta ask, were those dakars heavy load ones? How long did they last? I bought them and will be installing them and just have seen a ton of people switching to the deavers from dakars.
@@filkinsjonathan they were the heavy load ones, yes. They were in the truck for 3-4 years before I took them out in this video. They held up well and took a lot of abuse. My main complaint when they were newer, was just how squeaky they became. Other springs don’t usually get squeaky as early as those did
@Wandering Winterfields ok. Thanks for answering and thanks for this awesome video.
Alright bruv. Despite your suggestion I’ve already liked and subscribed and I’m only 3 and a half minutes in! Nice work so far.
Haha, I appreciate that!
CLICK BAAIITTTTT!!!!! ....Hahaha, just playin" ... great video, brother. Thank you for going thru the steps. Very informative. Keep on wrenchin' on. great job on your first video. Take care and be well
Right on! Thank you.
Brother i love this you sounds exactly the same but the deepest voice
Totally impressive! Had I seen this video I would have most likely never attempted replacing my leaf springs, rear shocks and front coilover. You threw in the all the details that none of the other DIY videos came close to mentioning. Like you, I have a time window to meet...I am not sure if I am going to make mine. I might have to seek a professional, or someone who knows their "shit" like you! Bravo: informative and entertaining!
Haha, thanks for the comment!
Thank you so much for doing this video, this is so helpful. I look forward to a video of the built.
"Wipe the blood off (part) before reinstalling" 😂 Nice work!!
I would re use the overload leaf springs from the old set, they are very heavy duty.
That’s a good idea. I don’t have them anymore but I would maybe throw one in, in the future. I do have a set for my 1986 K30… I wonder if I could retrofit them, lol.
@@wanderingwinterfields The new ones should be fine as they are doubled, I only have 1 on my Nissan frontier which carries constant load of 1000lbs and plus 500 lb of passengers. They rarely break the overload leaves this is what a spring shop mechanic told me. It is the upper leaves that take the bulk of the work and support. I have 5 leaf + overload and you have even more so you should be fine. Those axels are not designed to carry any more load anyways. Your set is wonderful, so many guys use these bolt on junk add a leaf sets and do not have a proper stack of leafs.
Finally a smart man who installs proper leaf set. So many videos guys use the bolt on junk that has so many failure points and bolts. I love this heavy duty leaf spring pack. I thought i was crazy when i added 2 leaves on each side of my stock 4 leaf suspension on my 2011 Nissan frontier but i see that you have total 7 leaves in your spring and my 5 leaves should be good. I carry a 300lb canopy plus 200 lb ladders and about 400 lb of tools in my canopy so about 900 lb constant weight plus 3 of us in the truck another 550 lbs. so the 5 leaves are amazing. My truck does not sway side to side so much and over speed bumps i do not bottom out every time.
I’ve ordered. fleet for my Long bed 3rd gen Tacoma. About to order a dobinson suspension kit. Which leaf springs exact;y did you get?
Did you see the video I did about the leaf springs? I think the model number might be in that video, but if not, I’ll have to check on the truck, tomorrow morning.
@@wanderingwinterfields I didn't hear the part. I'm looking at the L59-112-R. Wanted to verify as your truck took the camper load very well.
@@pmaxw2en gotcha. I'm still looking for the part number, but I'll find it today. Also, if you haven't already skimmed through here, you might find some extra info: tacoma3g.com/threads/leaf-spring-comparison-all-pro-allcan-icon-dobinsons-deavers-archive-dakars.10306/
@@pmaxw2en found it - yes, L59-112-R is correct.
@@wanderingwinterfields thanks. I know they can add a leaf to that but if you are happy with it then probably no need
After watching this video I went with the dobinsons L59-111-R leaf for my dclb taco with no weight back there and for sure it got no where the height it got on yours. My truck has a reverse rake with 3inch in the front. Not that I want to but now I might just have to add a 1 inch block back there to level the truck out
I don’t know the model number of the ones I have - did you get the same ones as me or are those lighter than the ones I have? Either way, to fix that reverse rake, what I would do personally, is get some of those Firestone airbags from Amazon. I think they are around $200 and they will let you not only fix the rake, but you’ll also be able to add more air if your truck ever sags when towing/hauling. They give about 0-3” lift depending on the PSI you put in.
amzn.to/3xbggUm - these are the airbags. Looks like the price is now $380. I still suggest this over a block though.
I have the medium duty ones because I figure 99 percent of the time my bed is empty. Yes, most likely I’ll go with that airbag set up because I really don’t want to go with the block route
Really good walk through video. What is the total price of your camper?
Thank you! The total price of ours was $15k. I think it was $13k and then about $2k for the delivery and installation.
Thank you! This was very useful
Page nailed it!
Well done
thank you!
Great Video! and funny ! clean the blood before install the leaf springs LOL, I think some of my installs has some blood too, and burbs when welding is involved.
Lol! Thank you!
Dude… that was awesome. Well done.. about to install my Icon RXT’s and found the video really helpful. As an IT guy, I’m familiar with the pc part but teaching myself the wrenching on trucks part so thanks for posting this.
Thank you for the feedback! I’m stoked that it will actually be helpful for your install.
Pretty neat. I think I might want the water and outside shower, and pretty much same otherwise. Was this about 10k?
It was about $11k. After taxes, delivery, installation, about $13k total.
Where's the build video at?
Soon… hopefully. We’ve been living in it for months - over 30,000 miles driven. And have yet to finish the second video. :(
Helpful video.
Very effeminate sounding and looking male?! 🤔
Thank you for your feedback!
Hey man , I feel like we would get along great, I got a Tacoma too and your gonna be helping me out in the future I know it. Preciate it brother
Right on! Enjoy the truck and if you have any questions you can always ask on the tacoma3g.com forum.
Can put nut behind turnbuckle and lock it down
Thanks bro for the shell review! You guys put together a very informative video. Well done!
Right on!
Awesome vid. Good angles and explanation, better than seasoned YT channels I’ve seen. Thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you! Very comprehensive.
Thank you for this!!!
Great video, and thanks very much! I was worried while watching because you weren't wearing gloves and then you cut yourself...and then didn't put gloves on, lol. One question - I had a spring shop upgrade my 2019 2WD Taco SR5's leaf springs, and it looks like the brake line is very close to the flexing springs, with no bracket to keep it in place. Is this something I should be concerned about? The brake line seems to have a rubber covering to protect it, but it looks like an accident waiting to happen.
Thank you for the feedback! So, I’m not sure what happened, but I never got the notification for your comment, which is why I’m replying 5 months later; I only noticed your comment today. Your brake line shouldn’t be able to get *that* close to the springs. I would go under and try to bend it away from the springs just a little bit.
@@wanderingwinterfields I bought a piece of tough ribbed (but flexible) plastic tubing designed for fish ponds, and put sections around each brake line and zip-tied it together. It adds another protective layer to the brake lines and actually looks pretty cool because the black plastic is ribbed.
Thank you again for this video. I'm getting my new shell in a week! Would you know how many inches there are between the camper and the truck inside? I'm getting a diesel heater and hoping there might be enough room to place on of those skinny fuel tanks.
I don’t know the exact inches but I see people mount those skinny tanks in that spot often. I’m actually planning to do that myself with the diesel heater + skinny tank in that spot.
Anyone know if this would still work with block leveling kit?
It should still work, yes
are you guys going to make any new videos
Yes, we are going to do one of the finished camper build
@@wanderingwinterfieldsgreat I can't wait
@@wanderingwinterfields Any progress on the finished build? Or even in progress would be cool.
@@iksnyzrog the closest I have is what’s on instagram but none of it goes too much into how we ended up building it out instagram.com/wanderingwinterfields
Getting my Fleet shell in 2 months! Have you researched a Chinese diesel heater? Sounds like a great option but not where where I would mount it!
I have heard of other people using those heaters and from what they’ve said, they seem to like them. Congrats on the Shell!
You should have WAY more subscribers. You're f***ing hilarious!
Haha, thank you for that!
This has been very helpful!!! Thanks so much for the video. Looking at either purchasing a M Topper or a shell for my Tundra and this really helped. But my question is more about your swing out Tire Carrier; with the Camper sticking out that far, did you have to modify the swing out to accommodate the distance between the camper and the tire carrier. I could not tell if the swing out cleared the camper. In the beginning of your video, you mentioned how the camper sticks out and I was hoping you would show how the swing out cleared. But anyway, please let me know or maybe another video on it and what vendor did you go with??? Thanks!!!
Thank you for the positive feedback! About the tire carrier, it’s made by Relentless Fabrication and yes, I had to cut and then re-weld an angle into it. It gained a few inches of clearance to fit around the camper. I have some photos of it on Instagram here: instagram.com/p/CDFaViag0Vb/?
