    What is the clearance between your cab rack and topper? The cab and bed are independently mounted, I foresee clearance issues between the two if you off-road at all, most people opt to order a 1/2 rack to avoid rubbing/impact issues(many threads talking about issues with cab over style campers with cab racks).

    @Dorf510 it's 1 inch. I know, A dude on here did a full on test to see the movement during flex on moderate terrain. His test showed about a quarter inch of movement. I don't do heavy crawling. Just the moderate trails. If there's an issue, I can always trim it. Initially I was looking for a half rack, but the way I built the camper, the half racks would either be too short or too long for my liking.

    Today, I feel like a man. I installed an Auxbeam switch box - a relatively simple task for you mechanically inclined folks, but took me all morning (I also took my time and enjoyed getting to know my truck better). I just finished and had a most satisfying lunch, LOL.

    There were a lot of "firsts" today, including learning how to find an appropriate fuse to tap into, mounting something inside the engine bay (heck, even spending time inside and getting to know the layout), cutting through the grommet through the firewall, hide wiring behind panels in the cockpit, etc.

    My only regret is not having any lights or a mobile HAM radio to wire up but those are next :)

    ‘I went this route, Bilsteins, and OME, with add-a-leaf in the rear. It was a bit more reasonable in 21.

    Do the needle bearing while you’re there.. it took me a half day by myself with hand tools, jack stands, and floor jacks. Second one I’ve done, first was around 1990, and that one still have the factory U joints from 1980..

    Would've never been my first choice but they came with the TSS package. For an all terrain, they are kind of loud. Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about them. Almost 10k miles and barely any signs of wear and no weird cupping or feathering.

    Have done great in the rain and the mild trails I have gone on so far.

    I actually have a molle panel up front for fuel and water. I was not a fan of the side mount molle panels and, since i already had the Rago parts, I chose to go that route. They are SOLID. And pricy...

    Finally got a metal bumper for the Tacoma. Installed took around 5-6 hrs total. Gonna add a winch later on.
    Did an install video for those interested:

    Totally understand. I’ve had their products for many years so i can attests to the quality and it’s made in house. But i get that they are a bit on the pricier size compared to some online ones.
