Anyone have any experience with the Wilco Tiregate installed with fiberglass bedsides? I’m worried about the steel bedsides having been designed into the plans of the tiregate with the weight of a 35” tire on it. Not wanting to be at the dunes and hitting some slight jumps and then having some issues.

 

Those things aren't set up out of the box to get beat on, they'll end up cracking and damaging the areas they mount to. You can set it up solid, but it will take additional work and bracing

 

Well i already got the 03 and we've been talking about turning it into a gambler, but with gas prices it's become my crusty daily.

 

Started cutting out my links, hopefully I’ll get them welded up soon.

 

nice cable guide, I need to make that upgrade on mine

 

I wouldnt attach anything to glass without them being completely supported by a back half cage. Im in desperate need of bed stiffeners with my rears. Already spider cracking from some beach abuse

 

Attach as in stress the bed anymore without steel bedsides.

 

sup fellas, anyone know anywhere to get one +2 axle shaft?

 

Pretty sure you can order a single shaft from RCV, or you can get a CVJ pre-built one for $573 https://www.cvjreman.com/product/9808-lt2/

 

Yea I was trying to skip cvj since I already have a great condition cv just needs longer shafts

 

I wish I had room for the full size crossfire! Whats the plate thickness?

 

Have you tried Fab shops that offer +2 kits?

 

basically anybody that sells a lt kit will also sell axles. https://www.chaosfab.com/product/2005-2015-Toyota-Tacoma-Long-Travel-Axles-86305T

 

Yea but that’s 2 I only want 1.

 

Fab shops like local?

 

I assume you are asking @NcTaco27
Looks like 3/16 in his picture.
Not sure if open truss or truss on plate. Looking at the slot size in the top piece, I assume truss on plate...

 

yup, my bad! I edited it.

 

i had bought what I thought was a spare for my 3.5 over kit
But after receiving it it as clearly shorter and by the looks of it it’s for a 2 in. Over kit
I don’t need it
I just need to confirm it’s the correct length tho
