    She ain't stock anymore.
    Who's running Custom Deavers in a DCLB with a swing out? I'm trying to get a sense of how much weight I'm going to need to account for. I just got off the phone with the guy and he suggested talking with you guys to see what you're running and how they're working out.

    My custom Deavers are now labeled U402XHD.

    I asked for 1200lbs over stock (my truck is just under 7k lbs loaded up). The first set didn’t do enough for me. Brought em back to Deaver and they made my current pack which is holding up great.

    Hey there,

    I saw a while back a post from Vagabond about the plastic bed rail caps on 2015 Tacoma being swapped out for an aftermarket brand of metal bed rails for better support of the Drifter. Can anyone post a link to those suggested rail caps? I'd like to take a look at cost & what the swap involves.

    Thanks!

    ...too much shit to list.
    Vagabond is selling them. They are made by Relentless but currently just exclusively sold via Vagabond.

    Is the 30A from Amazon worth it vs. the 10A from eBay?

    Time isn’t important as the Vagabond is months away still!
