    Hey wow, nice! Can you tell me a bit about the decked drawers? You have to drill through the truck bed in several places for the install?

    The decked system is great! I use to own a Tundra and had a Decked system on it; I had to get it again when buying my new Tacoma.
    Their customer service is outstanding too. When ordering my system, I told them it was my second one and they ended up sending me a shirt and hat for being a good customer! Also, when it arrived one of the pieces was missing a metal piece with threads and they ended up sending me the entire replacement piece instead of just sending threads to twist into the plastic.

    There are two downfalls I can think of; one being that you lose depth in the truck bed; the other is that the built in storage on the Tacoma beds can't be used and you need an extension cable for the ac plug.


    You have the drill through your bed but it's very straight forward; here's a pic of one of the places you drill through the bed..

    Thanks, I am used to the loss of depth, I had a similar home made set up in my last truck. The idea of drilling through my new truck bed does make me nervous though! Did you do some sort of pigtail so you can still use the outlet?

    I used an extension cord with a 90 degree plug.

    Any rubbing with the 285s? I have an OME 2" lift and am looking at 285s with a 17" wheel.

    Thanks!

    There shouldn't be much if any rubbing with a lift. I didn't rub with 285s but I also did a cab mount chop before I put them on...

    Awesome Build! Going to be following this, Question about the Rear Bumper and Swing outs. First is the backup camera still functional or is it blocked by the tire position? Second are there cutouts/punch-outs for the 4 backup sensors if you had that option?

    @0uTkAsT
    I'm in Peoria. I'm down to figure something out! RPMFAB Rocks and loving my 5.29s, especially on hills!

    @Dodothahobo
    The camera is partially blocked, effective enough to back up to a trailer. Regarding the backup sensors, you'd have to talk to @RPMFAB on that one.
    Here's a picture of my view with a 315/70/R17 BFG mounted..
