    You will not regret the Leitner. I installed mine at I think the beginning of 2018 and it is a fantastic system. If I remember correctly they were only $1,100 when I bought mine so I could see the current price as being a deterrent. A couple of my buddies have gotten the ACS since, one a Chevy Bison and the other a Jeep Gladiator and they love theirs too. I will say I do not think the forged rack is total overkill.
    The tent I run is 200 lbs but the classic tube rack has never faultered on any of the trails I have taken it on high speed or crawling.

    The only downside I have found is you lose bed width due to the vertical supports that mount to the rear d ring/tie down points.
    I only run my tent when I'm going camping though and the ACS in combination with the prinsu roof rock works great for long materials and flat goods.
    Long winded post but I just wanted to provide my experience with it.

    What rear bumper is that? I love my RCI, but I feel like people are always asking if someone makes a non-high clearance bumper with a swingout.

    I ran mine just like you are thinking and was a 5 min. Job. Just ran the cable from the front camera to the driver side A Pilar cover and made sure to use a plastic tool to help me tuck it in behind the headliner. Then just continued along the rubber seal to that center pillar cover and continued through the back door rubber seal until I made it to the back.

    The other one that keeps showing up has some channels on the top that I don't like (for another divider?) so I jumped all over this one. :)

    I guess i could have but there were a couple things i thought about.
    1- Probably harder to run though the headliner, i dont know what wires are up there to snag on, etc.
    2- I didnt want to crease or bend the headliner since its pretty much cardboard with cloth on it.
    3- The wire they supplied me was pretty long so it prob wouldve been all bunched up and leaving a slight bump in the head liner.

    The way i did it was super easy and took me about 30-45mins. Clean job and worked well. Made sure i ran the wire out of the way of the airbags, neatly down the channel and used zip ties to keep things in order. Perfect amount of wire left. Any wire slack i tied up and stored it in a "pocket" behind the rear seat. I did tuck under the headliner in the front and rear some but i was super careful not to mess it up.

    Only issue was i was dripping wet of sweat cause it was like 85-90 out lol

    Finally got around to washing it yesterday, man did it need it. Went ahead and applied some 303 protectant to the Softopper too. Did it rain this morning? Of course it did.

    Go with a reputable brand like Sherpa, ARB, front runner, etc… I personally don’t have much luck with parts/items ordered through Toyota

    The bipod leg angle will not affect your shot consistency. That is an Atlas bipod and the legs can go rearward or forward 45 degrees. They are a super stable bipod.
    Now shooting off of a bouncy platform like your truck while not squared up behind your rifle instead of laying prone in the dirt will not help your accuracy. Also hooking the trigger will not help you either.....
