    They sell 5th gen ditch light brackets that they told me required no modification to the vehicle. Basically, if you don't cut up your plastic windshield trim, then they make your hood sit with a quarter inch gap from the body.

    When I told them this, they said that I was wrong... I don't know how I'm wrong when I was looking at it. Threw it away

    Trimming is required for 3rd gens. I didn't mind it cause it wasn't anything too significant. I actually really like their mounts but I'd never get anything else from them. All their other products are too much for me when I can get something similar from another company for much less

    I've had two of their rear bumpers but never bought new. The fit and finish is great on them so no complaints there. The current rear was in a roll over and besides a wing being bent in the thing stayed straight. I hope they don't raise the prices of the racks, especially since they can buy in bigger quantities and less individual attention as a one man show.

    I'm gonna get relentless ditch light brackets since they will work with a snorkel easier it seems

    On another note...

    I'm hoping to get a new full length model from another member who is designing a new rack option for Tacoma and 4Runners.

    Only reason I'd be selling mine.

    Same for Matt. He chose Prinsu. I'm going with a competing product.

    I want a full length rack. In my opinion, prinsu is the nicest looking full rack and frontrunner is the nicest 3/4.

    Also the full length frontrunner is like 1300

    Not a quality thing. I love both.

    My rack is sold. The guy saw it on insta and is picking it up tomorrow.

    You've hinted at this in a couple threads. Details? I'm looking for options. Tired of making racks and selling them.

    I've built and sold 3. I always build them with the intention of keeping them, but I gets tired and always want to change something so I build another one.
