    Stellar is probably the right place to be showing it off, too. Lots of NorCal money and they always have yotas getting portals on their IG.

    It will be interesting to see if it is a direct bolt in or if it will require mods for clearance or unique mounting.

    The mounting is one of the biggest issues with the stock racks. It would be nice to see 2 extra locations on the back side. However the diff is an issue. A very large majority of the “feedback” in the wheel isn’t from an inadequate pump. It’s because the rack simply deflects so much on the shitty factory mounts.

    Solid mount, and the crossmember is next to go without reinforcement. Extra mounting locations would help spread the load better though.

    It’s going to be tough utilizing a rack that mounts in the factory location and doesn’t come with sacrifices in steering geometry. There’s only so much room. But my bet is, this will bolt in as stock. And likely not be a whole lot better unless they have some serious voodoo magic going on with them. Which I suppose is possible.

    Have you seen the product they make? It's all the highest quality machine work & billet aluminum.

    Way out of the price point of most Tacoma owners but you get what you pay for.

    Recently went on a trip with somebody with the portals who was talking about waiting for the rack to come out. It certainly looks legit.

    That’s why we have AC in our trucks. I’ll be there suffering for 3 days!! Or doing night runs.

    Oh, no, my AC sucks, but I'd rather have it than super nasty dusty cabin from riding trails.

    To clarify, I am one of those that doesn't have the tax bracket to afford their product but I can certainly appreciate it.

    I would love some portals on my truck so I could get 37s. Haha

    Just go! I'll be there on Saturday watching all the people do truck stuff. Unfortunaly and fortunatley my Alternator took a shit yesterday, guess 198k miles is the life span! Another $180 on the taco for the Denso replacement. Better to break here in town instead of middle of the desert. I'm buying a third car today, so if I break the taco Saturday, I can go to work on Monday! LOL
