    No stripped bolt heads!

    Better way to do it, use a 5/32 hex bit in a nut driver on the longer screws supplied by Access. Easier than a dinky little allen wrench to line up and not cross-thread. Also helps to tighten front to rear and push down on the plastic bed side caps as you go (the rail bolts hold them down). I managed to install it myself without any disasters as my helping hands got a cut just prior to installation and wouldn't stop bleeding for a while.

    Perfect fit. Many thanks to Luke at T.A.!

    I didn't do this today but I yanked the secondary air filter out a few days ago just for shits and giggles but to my surprise I have actually gone from 15.5 MPG to 17.5 MPG which is the best tank I have gotten since I put the lift on. Didn't even change my driving habits so I was shocked lol

    Literider, although for the build quality you'd think it was the Limited. It's the same rails and tarp on both. Anytime I haul anything in the bed it tends to be in a rubbermaid tote so I don't worry about water coming in the front. If it's a problem down the road, I can always stick a foam seal under the front bar.

    I'm definitely happy with it thus far.

    Cortland,

    Thanks for the comment. As far as how they are, I really can't comment yet. I just brought them home and put them on the truck. Haven't really went anywhere other than just around the block with them so far.

    I've trying to remember what the difference in the Limited and the Lite Rider were? Big price difference between the two.

    Doesn't come with the extra seal up front nor the tailgate seal. The bars are aluminum-colored instead of black. Straps are a little different. 5yr warranty instead of lifetime.

    Latching mechanism is a little simpler on the Literider. It's a spring latch on the left side, a manual slide on the right. The Limited has a knob that pulls spring latches on both sides.

    Other than that, on the Tacoma they're the same. I couldn't justify the price difference myself.

    Thanks, I'm curious to see how well it does hold out the water though.
