    Count me in...I'll take one with annex. Zip code is 11572. Thanks for all the hard work, time and research you've put into this!!!

    Now, do I go with a pack rack or a front runner roof rack...thoughts?

    +1 for Prinsu designs!! His stuff is so clean and he is awesome to work with. I'm not sure if mine is a one off, but we're designing a sick bed rack together right now.

    Thank you gents...they look awesome. My only hesitation is drilling into my roof, thats the one bane of having an access cab!

    Double cab ftw! :D

    Just placed my order with Zach!! Went for the standard CabRac but upgraded the entire rack to the heavy duty version. Paid a little more than I wanted to for a roof rack but it speaks for itself!! Making me :drool::drool::drool::drool: for the last 24 hours that I couldn't resist!!

    Ok,

    So I have one spot left, I am really trying to find some one willing to pick up in one of the following locations listed by priority based on shipping cost, Baltimore, Chicago, Colorado, Atlanta, California. This is because we already have some one buying in these locations and I would like to combine shipping to save money. If I do not have any takers in the next day or two I will be hooking up some one in Texas, you know who you are :)

    I would expect a 30% deposit in 24 hours to get this wrapped up.

    Group buy is officially closed as we have reached the number of people needed. I will not be doing another, this not what I do for living nor am I making money on this. However I will be passing on the info on how I did this to others who have asked about how to arrange their own Rtt group buy. We will post pics of the end result!

    Unfortunately I am going to keep it at ten, nothing against any of you guys as I would love to get as many people in this as I can. The problem is that this has been incredibly time consuming, for every person that signed up and paid I probably had 2-3 people say they would and then backed out. This is after answering questions and conversations back and forth for a few days with each person.

    My biggest concern is that this is my first time doing this, the more people the more complicated it becomes and the more risk involved. At this point I am already sending a total of about 6500 dollars overseas. That number quickly rises with each person, I put out a disclaimer to every one to please not come after me if this goes bad but still there is probably a lot of liability here. Although after 4 weeks of researching this company and working with them there is probably little risk however I need to try and keep everything to a minimum. Look at the CVT group buy for example when they opened the flood gates! (Nothing against them, great company, but the demand was more than they ever dreamed of!)

    If this goes well and I am certain at this point it will. I imagine there will be another one of these. I already have a couple people who say they plan on doing this and asked if I will share my information and what I have learned from this. I will be more than happy to help out those individuals or anyone else seriously willing to take something like this on.

    Also please PM Tepui or CVT if you need a tent. Tepui will more than likely give you a "Tacoma World Price" if you PM them on here. It will not be nearly as low as this group buy but they will give you a great deal, remember they do this for a living, I am just a guy doing a group buy so that I can get the group buy price....
