Dude, don't order one. They are 10 bucks at Smith's, I buy a couple each year, they get torn easy

 

it means your rig is off to a badass start. i love that slide. you'll probably get a bunch of folks asking about it.

 

oh ya?? maybe ill check it out i was gonna run to sportsmens and cabelas today and check out what they have as well..

 

thats pretty sweet.. i might go this route as well need to figure all the costs and stuff

 

Looks Great! Few questions on your bedslide...Any idea of the weight on it? Also do you mind me asking how much it cost?

 

and what are it's dimensions

I don't see the answers to most questions but thought I would post it.

Can you find dimensions and costs on there ? I couldn't last night

 

No info on their site as they don't sell direct. I went to the dealer's site that they recommended for my area and found this site

http://www.bedslide.com/

Looks like they start at $900 and go WAY up. Plus they are for the 6' bed or Tundras only.

 

bedslide's site is a little strange too. I went to the fit my truck part, you can easily change the year....

for '99 they only have for a 8' T-100
2000-2001 no toyota listed
2002-2003 the 5' tacoma is listed.

 

Can't you just use the " Fit my Truck " menu ?

 

I was, but notice that the 2001-2004 is the same build, but they have listed nothing available for 01-02, and something for the 03-04.

I was just giving fair warning that their tool is a little off.

 

I can't access it from my iphone

 

I dunno about his but mine didn't feel anymore than 90-100lbs all told. There's the track which is fairly skeleton and light that bolts to the bed. The heavy part is the tray itself that slides.
Fantastic piece of hardware. I love mine.

 

Yeah I have a decent drawer setup in my bed now. It was cheap and works well for the most part but one of these would be great. Too bad they are so expensive.

 

Here's the info:

I researched a few brands...Bedslide, Cargo Glide and ATC. I was left perplexed after visiting the ATC site, but they assure me that it is under construction.

My model is what ATC calls the "Original", and it runs from a 1/2" shy of the front of the bed to about an inch shy of the tailgate. Weight estimate is between 120# and 130#. I never did get an accurate read on that.

It's dimensions are 57" x 41 1/2" and it sits about 5" off the floor of the bed. ATC says it extends out 70% of it's overall length, which you can see in my pics is 21" past the gate...enough to comfortably access anything on the cab end of the slide. I have the ARB fridge, two full 7 gallon water containers, a 10# Powertank, a DieHard 1150 power pack and a 48 gallon Action Packer (empty now) and I can operate the slide with one finger.

It retails here in Denver for like $695 plus $75.00 for the install. This thing is just over 1/2 the cost of the Bedslide 1000 PRO SE and about $250 less than Cargo Glide 1000 S. Same cargo rating.

I sourced mine through Suburban Toppers here in Denver. Talk to Chris at 800-274-8677. His brother is the VP of ATC. Suburban is a legit company with excellent customer service.

Here's a shot down the side of the closed bed slide:



Hope this helps.

 

Thanks for the info

 

Got this for a bday present for myself. 1/2" 18v impact wrench

It's part of my set I'm adding too

 

I would buy or try making something with a foot pump, you'll get much better pressure that way. You could still use the solar bag to heat the water but a small pump wpuld make a hige difference

 

I've seen a couple people put a shraeder valve on the sceptre water cans. Pump some air in them and you have an EZ pressurized water source, buy a black can, or paint one black and it will be getting warm from the sun the whole day.
