Yea I have to use premium fuel or the engine knocks like crazy. I have the 7th injector kit and have a pretty decent tune on it. It could be better as I still get some high gear low rpm ping. I'm not that good when it comes to the tuning part and I hired a shop with a dyno to tune it for me. But I know how to drive it to avoid the ping. I'd love to get a good tune on it but don't know anyone that could help. It would be sweet to just get a map from someone and load it in. I trid asking a guy on here before about getting a copy of his maps but he never responded.

Here is how I secure my camper to the truck.
I had class 2 trailer hitch receivers welded to the frame, front and rear.
Then some 1 3/4" square tubing with some rings welded on to hook the chains too. The tubes slide in and are pinned like any hitch does. This is nice so when I need them I slide them in, and when the camper comes off so do the mounts..It has worked out really well..

Hey Mokai, do you have any photos of the rear attachments? Do you have an anti-sway bar? Looking to install a 1987 Pilgrim Cabover Camper onto my 1989 Toyota Pickup and am planning on doing what you did here, with the hitch receivers. Just wondering what you did for the other connections.
Thanks!
Thanks!
