Hey, neighbors, Kevin here with etrailer and today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Torque Lift's, frame mounted camper tie downs for the rear on our 2025 Toyota Tundra. So if you're like our neighbor today and you're wanting to take your tundra out and have that in-bed camper in it instead of towing one behind you, then camper tie downs, like our frame mounted ones that we're installing today from Torque Lift, are gonna be an essential component. Now along with this, you will also need to pick up some turn buckles and that's gonna make that connection right on these hooks right here up to the mounting points on your camper so that you can fully secure it down. Now, Torque Lift has a couple of options, but you will want to take some measurements and you're gonna wanna figure out exactly where those mounts are on your camper. Going along with those measurements, you're gonna want to figure out from the mounting point kind of down here at your frame. So if you kind of just go under your fascia, so our rear bumper right here, and then measure up to that mounting point where it is on your actual in-bed camper, that'll kind of give you a better idea of what size turn buckles that you're gonna need.

Along with that, if your camper sits further out, maybe it sits over the bed rails, you can also extend these as well by simply pulling out the pin and clip and going into that second hole. So that's gonna give us about four more inches of room here so that we have it sitting out further and we can make that connection nice and straight. Now if we don't want to have this in, maybe we're done with our camper, we're putting it in storage, and we wanna put these away, you can easily slide it out, put it to aside, maybe just set it in your garage, and be good to go. That way it's not out there and getting damaged or just kind of getting worn down over time due to the weather. As far as the installation goes, if you have a non-TRD model, it will be super simple for you to easily just get those brackets right up into place and bolt them down.

The rear is especially easy, because all you're doing is unclamping some factory bolts right at your hitch in frame and then sliding in the new brackets, tightening it all back down. Now if you do have a TRD model, we're gonna show you exactly how to get to the body mount bolt so that you can remove that. There's a little rubber piece that's gonna be right in your way if you have the TRD models for the top bolt on our front frame brackets that you'll have to remove, that way you can actually get to 'em, tighten it fully down so that way your bracket's nice and secured to the frame itself, and then you can pop that right back into place and be good to go. Now if this is something you don't feel like you could easily do yourself at home, then reach out to us and use our dealer locator. It'll help you find a shop within your zip code so that you can get these installed with no problem.

Starting out, the instructions are gonna tell you to remove the nut from this factory bolt right here on the backside, which attaches our hitch to our frame. It's gonna say this one and this one, but later on they're gonna tell you to also remove this one as well. So we're just gonna take all three of these nuts off right now, and to do so, you're gonna need a 22 millimeter socket and wrench. That wrench you'll want on the backside here just so that bolt doesn't spin on you, and then we'll start popping these off. Once you get it broke free, should be pretty much able to kind of do it by hand, and we'll set those aside, 'cause we're gonna have to reinstall them.

Now we're gonna take one of our side plates. You'll notice how it has this bigger curve and this side has more to it. That side is gonna be facing towards the back of the vehicle. We want the skinnier side going towards the front and that's gonna line up with our outer bolts, and you'll also have it line up right there and we'll just reinstall these two factory flange or flange nuts and the flat washers. You don't have to fully tighten it down just yet. We can do that all kind at the end. So the next step is going to be using one of the smaller bolts in your kit with a washer. Now on one side, we do have a weld nut. On the other, we do not. So this si
