    I just did 1 set. I'm pretty sure you'll only be able to use 1 at the rear(as the grease tit won't have enough room).....not sure about the front. If you can only use 2 sets, I may buy 1 since I only have 1 :D

    Like you said maybe only 1 set used but it's going up on a lift I'll let them know if they can't use just let me know then we will go from there.

    I will say, I've never had the Tacoma "squeak" with my Dobinsons.

    Do those suggest a metal mag release like the SA? I really don't want to have to use a metal one since I have so many stock mags.

    Nope. He used brackets and brazing rods from HF.

    I can't weld.....so I'd have to go that route. I wanted to do it that way, just didn't know if it'd work until now :rofl:

    @Brian422 and @Nic S are the welders :rofl:

    I'm probably gonna drop by and grab at least 4 sticks of the 1x1 aluminum tubing(and some more insulation......as I already have some from when I was messing with the ARE shell :rofl:) and do the floor after I get my monies for the desk :D


    I also plan to cut this thing up and use the tubing from it.....might even use the side panels and doors:D

    I have, but I can get 8ft 1x1 from Lowe's for $28 a stick. Being that I want to do a fully enclosed slide-in......the 80/20 was just way more than I can float :rofl:
