    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.

    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/

    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...

    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
