DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Sorry man I didn’t see your message till late.

 

Quich question. Ive seen a few people with the bed bars and the tent on top of those bars. Does anyone know where do they sell those bars and the tents and about how much they run for?

Edit: I am asking more out of curiosity than anything right now. Kinda window shopping so to speak.

 

Most fab shops now sell bed bars. Should run you $100-$200 plus shipping for a pair.

Roof Top Tents range from sub $800 to $4000+, just depends on brand, size and style. REI sells a few brands plus most offroading shops are vendors.

 

Any fab shop website you recommend?

 

Look up Lonewolf offroad is local and can make them or you can get some from say Relentless Fab

I was looking at relentless fab. Is there any need for 3 bars even if I am getting the RTT or is 2 enough?

 

Damn. They are way cheaper than Relentless.

Also keep an eye on the TX Classified thread as bed bars show up quite often in there. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/texas-classified-sticky.209832/page-1157#post-16325098

 

Lots of cool stuff there! Thanks for telling me about that!

 

Does the 2016+ Tacoma has the gromet under the driver side to run the CB cable through? Im under the truck and I dont see anything going up there

 

Not sure about driver side but I'm pretty sure there is one on the passenger side.

 

Time to go back out and check!

 

I found it. Im guessing I cant keep it waterproof right? I gotta make a hole in it?

 

This is why I bought the more expensive CB cable that could take that large fitting off, could make a much smaller hole in the boot that stayed tight around the cable. Other option is to use some silicone / flex-tape or something to reseal the hole.

 

I've never done it but from what i've seen is people put a hole in it run the wire and then seal it with some silicone.

 

Yea thats what I did. I did a super tine hole and pushed the cable through it really hard to make sure there was still a seal.

 

Yeap, thats what I got. I just need to solder the tip now. But what I had to run through was super small.

 

Well, I thought I was only going to replace the broken AAL, but turns out it wasn't the same length. So, I had to do both sides.

I think i have 0.5"-1" more lift in the back, so i might need to start looking for longer rear shocks.
