    How do you like them flat/filled like that? Or maybe the correct answer is how does your GF like them? :laugh:

    This build makes me want a t4r... How does it compare to the taco for on road and Offroad performance (assuming they were similarly built) ?

    I like the fill a lot actually. The 4Runner is taller than my Tacoma was so my girlfriend should appreciate them. She hasn't seen the truck yet with them on!

    The full should help keep some road grime off of the sides of the truck too.

    Oh! For future reference, when you take the sliders to Linex, have them tape off the mounting plates. It took a long time to grind all the Linex and that stuff is gross when it melts! It's like tar haha. Other than that, no hiccups in install. These are such sick quality.

    Full shot!


    I always have issues answering because I went from 5100s in the Tacoma to dual triple bypass shocks in the 4Runner.

    In my experience though, I think they perform similarly. This is a much heavier rig which gets it more traction, but also makes it hit bumps a lot harder. It's a trade off but I didn't need the bed and I love this rig!

    If you cut the linex with a razor near the edge it should be able to be peeled off. They're supposed to tape off the mounts, but sometimes forget unfortunately. Glad you like the sliders Matt!

    I'm so frustrated with rigid right now. I just opened the box of replacement parts they sent me and they have once again sent me the wrong parts. I've had my dually's sitting around for 2 months waiting on parts. This is ridiculous. Losing faith in the company...

    The fog light kit has a faceplate to make the pod sit flush with the stock location so that mud and dirt doesn't get in. They only sent one. I also needed a small washer that they send. Then they sent me a bunch of bolts as replacement. I have the washer now, but no faceplate. That was more important because I could have gotten the washer at Home Depot

    Just got my shipping confirm from rigid for the missing part... They are sending it to my parents house which I specifically said not to do in my email to them. I want them at my house so I can install!

    Damn it
