    Relaxing on the bambeds during my lunch break. So nice to have all my gear below instead of stacked next to me. Love these things...

    Any plans to offer a rear-seat-delete platform for the access cab?

    Eventually, this would be a great idea!
    Right now I'm building my 3d scanning capabilities as I prepare to offer products for other vehicles - sleeping platforms first.
    The highest on my priority list is the 6.5' bed Tundra current and previous gen and then 1st gen Tacoma both bed sizes.

    What about 1st gen Tundras? Been seeing a lot of those on the trails recently

    Yes, definitely a high priority also!

    I just picked up this great 3d scanner which was recently released last month by Einscan, it's the first $1k 3d scanner that I've tested that has had positive results. It seems that Moores's Law is alive and well in the 3d scanning industry right now.

    I'm currently figuring out good scanning parameters and am going to dive into data collection on other vehicles in the next week or so.
    If anyone knows someone with a Tundra any gen, or 1st gen Tacoma that lives in my area (North Santa Barbara county) please have them PM me! I'll hook them up with a free product if they lend their vehicle for measurements.

    Glad to hear that! I'm always on the lookout for a clean 1st gen tundra and the other day I was thinking... Shit it's gonna suck to not have bambeds in there

    Hey Travis, thanks for your order!
    You can check out the 4wp bed stiffeners here which won't interfere with the sliders.
    My truck has 305k miles with lots of hard offroad driving and I've never needed bed stiffeners, maybe you don't need them either??

    For the sliders ... How far out would you say they can go without weight towards the cab to counteract let's say... A Coleman cooking stove and a few cooking items? I have a long bed

    One more question. How much does this setup weigh? I didn't see it on the website

    Each slider weighs about 23.5 lbs so 47 lbs for both.

    Another fun spec while I'm at it.
    Sliding friction is 7 lbs with no weight on top.

    I'm trying to wrack my brain... want to figure out a way to make some kind of attachable leg that can help support the slider when you want more space to cook and you know it'll be out/extended for awhile. Hmmm...

    Adjustable height hiking pole attached to a flat bracket supporting the back end, or run a strong, tight rubber cord between the D-rings to lock the front end down.

    How many surfboards (shortboards with fins) can fit under the long bed platform at the same time?

    Could you fit a couple day bags side by side and slide the boards in and out?
