Front Camper Tie Downs For 2016 Toyota Tundra

Question

Question:

Hello, I’ve been building a custom camper for my 2016 Tundra. I have a mounting solution for the rear of the camper as I am keeping the tailgate however, I was wondering if there was any way I could acquire a set of front anchors only? I’m hoping to still mount the anchors that mount in between the front of the bed and behind the cab. Please let me know if that’s possible, thank you.

Hello Omar.

Great question. For your 2016 Toyota Tundra if you have the 8 foot bed without any steps that go past the cab of the truck you want TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Front # TLT2305, these are for the front only.

If your truck bed is not 8 foot, they you will want HappiJac Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Bed and Bumper Mount - Front and Rear # LC184089, we do not sell just the front brackets on the HappiJac so you would have to to purchase the whole kit.

Would love to check out your completed project when you get it done, please feel free to send in pictures when you get it completed!

Hey Omar, how did things go with the front camper tie-downs for your Tundra? Did the TorkLift setup end up fitting the way you needed? Your update could make it easier for others working on similar custom builds.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
