    Are the rago and the Amazon replica really the only stiffener options we have? It looks like they would take up a good bit of space in the corners and get in the way a lot. Is that actually the case? I currently have a diy drawer system that would require reworking if I’m looking at these things correct.

    Not sure what he's currently offering but reach out to @Kwikvette :wave:.

    He might be able to work something up to fit your needs.

    Thank you for the tag :fistbump:

    @Natenite

    I'd love to be able to make an internal set, just like I do for 2nd/3rd Gen Tacomas but I don't have a 1st Gen near me.

    If you wanted to go through and mock up parts in cardboard, I'd be happy with making you a set for the cost of your time.

    Thing is, I would normally do this sort of thing myself in person. Being in central California, makes it a bit hard without your truck here.

    I’m definitely interested! How would I go about making that mock up?

    500lb capacity, dirt cheap. If you want some inches back, just grind off the triangle and weld a vertical corner or edges on
