What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I am hoping you still use this rack and can give a long term review. Also, where did you get the support beams for that go between the two bars?

 

i assume you went with these (120003-1-kit):

did you also need the mounting kit?

considering these and just want to be sure i have all necessary parts

 

Relentless bed bars are the only low rack i know besides that frontrunner one.

 

Just got done looking at the specs of your 03 build. Noticed you had the relentless bars, could you fit a 12v cooler under them or a regular sized cooler under it?

 

Yes easily. They are about 2'' above the bed rails. The bottom of the tube that is. I believe its 18''-18.75'' of clearance if i remember right.

 

Thank you sir.

Hope to be going on adventures like you when I get back home.

 

Hope you do! they are fun

 

Thank you, not much in Ga so ill be traveling a little ways.

 

I have a Smittybilt too, this is how I did mine,

Is anyone carrying a 33" spare under the bed? If so, what is your bumper/hitch set-up?

I want to get mine under there, but my aftermarket hitch sits back far enough that the tire won't clear the diff under compression.

It's riding here for now, but I don't like the loss of bed space or not being able to see in the rear view.


Also, many thanks to @Captain Magma for his generosity. Will be a fun little project.

 

I have my 255/80r17 under the bed with a stock bumper and class 3 Uhaul tow package.

 

Hmmm, Clears the diff just fine, I assume? I have no idea what brand my hitch is.

 

Yea. Its tight as hell. But fits.

 

I have a 255 under the bed also, clears the diff just fine. Had to bend out the little arms though that keep the spare in place.

 

I started that..but said fuck it and just cut the ends off haha

 

Wish mine would fit under the bed.. would have so much more bed space

 

has anyone repainted (had someone repaint )just the cab of their extra cab truck before?

 

Might be as simple as a hitch swap for me.

Your hitch is integrated into your bumper??

 

Yep, hidden hitch
