How much work is dropping it, and did you drop it completely? I kinda want to drop it and add sound deadening on it

 

I dropped it from the middle pillars back. I am not sure what’s entailed with working around the crawl controls but it’s not too bad to do what I did. I would get some interior panel buttons in advance if you decide to do it. No matter how careful I am a couple always get broken

 

It’s not bad. Just take your time and be careful not to break any of the fasteners. I dropped mine half way and added sound deadening. Than did the front the following weekend. I felt the interior was the longest part between tearing it out and putting it back in. But I took the time to run the harness with the other wires leading to the engine compartment.

 

I snapped about 6-8 myself. Lol.

 

As I see a few posts here about folks snapping fasteners, does anyone have the part number/info for these so we can preemptively order a few to have on hand during our install, just in case?

 

I just went to Auto Zone and got them off shelf

Found a 10-pack on Amazon for $8: https://amzn.to/35PW4YH

ToyotaPartsDeal is charging $1.02 per clip + shipping.

 

Dropping it entirely is not much more work than just dropping the back half i have dropped mine to install dynamat and the difference in noise is insane.

dun dub duuuhhhhhhhh

 

lol, in ten minutes someone's going to post these up at X5 the cost.

 

I hate removing the trim between the front and back doors. That’s why I said screw it. I’ll do half now and the other half later. Definitely cuts down the noise.

 

Actually really glad to read this as well, as I plan to do the roof with FatMat hood liner (recommended by quite a number of people I'm finding), the floor with FatMat floor liner, and the back wall with Noico.

 

This is helpful to read before my install, as you did something I can see myself doing, although specifically warned against in the instructions. No power tools...so Im sorry for your troubles, as it sounds like a pita, but thanks for helping the rest of us who may have made the same mistake

 

An update on this, it wasn't the tapping of the holes on cross bars. Powder coat got into some of the holes and this caused the screws to bind up and not go all the way in when tightened. In my case I was using a ratchet ...at least initially. I'm fine being the bad example, so yes, don't be me and use a drill to try and tighten your screws the rest of the way.

 

Finally received my Maxtrax today.

Is anyone running the UpTop Trac Mount with them?

Im thinking about picking up a set , but was looking for some real world feedback on them.

Thanks

 

they’re great! We even tell you how far to space them so the holes line up perfect!

 

I’m wondering if anyone has mounted an awning on the bed rack yet? I have a feeling the truck side of the awning might be a little low but google isn’t helping me find the answer... I can’t wait for my order to ship so we can get the RTT mounted up before camping season kicks off here in New England
