    Front runner. Which is an awesome sturdy AF rack that I have used and abused for two years. 3 5k mile today trips with kayks and shit on them? ✅. The ability to stack the deep and still walk on them✅. Accessories out the wazoo? ✅. Soon my awning will be mounted up.

    As for the rust and peeling powder coating... I have lived in the Wisconsin for two years. Salty as fuck. The bolts, nuts, and steel brackets didn’t stand a chance.

    but I’d recommend this rack in a heartbeat.

    Started the process on getting my navigation/SAT radio/back-up camera properly installed.
    I guess I was starting too many electrical projects at once and got in over my head (not with electrical in general, but with the number of stuff I want to do).

    I wired them to the tail lights. It was a shorter run. I just had to make a small notch on the tailgate skin to run it over, and drilled one hole near the tail light

    Word. Nervy for sure :eek:

    It was the first proper mod I did to my truck. I’m usually a takes three holes to hang a picture kinda guy. This, I must have measured a hundred times. Came out great and I have to say the roof racks are worth every penny.

    I like the Front Runner racks.

    Ive been considering getting a Vagabond camper recently, and trying to think of ways to fill the rivnuts that I put in.. Still drawing blanks

    Fill the rivnuts? Like you drilled too many hole? Or you took the rack off?

    some sort of flat head bolts?

    Dobinson’s coils and shocks. SOS sliders, ditch light brackets, and front skid. Rigid ditch lights. BFG KO(dos) More minor stuff.
    Ordered some sound deadener. Going to get the back wall and see what I think.

    Don't just do the back wall, do all the surfaces within the cab including the outside inner door panels. It made a hell of a difference on my AC. You won't regret it.

    Definitely, my truck came with the TRD exhaust and it was pretty loud on the freeway and now although it's still noticeable but not as loud as it was before. Money well spent.
