    Looks good. Are you running the 14” or 18” rack?

    Thanks. That's the 10" rack. Really really glad I didnt go with anything taller lol

    I saw someone with the 18" rack on a tonneau and it looked rediculous. With the roof top tent, it sticks way too high up. I think that the height of my RTT heavily contributed to me rolling my last taco, look how high it sits on the 10"-

    That's 300 pounds hovering 14" over my rails, probably 36" over my bed. The bed is already very light, that really raises the center of gravity significantly

    Just finished installing my full ADS setup, had a few small issues and a few things to tweak, switched from a full icon setup, so far so good

    How're you guys mounting the bump stops on the front end? I have a 1st Gen taco. Would it be easiest to just gusset the can and weld all that right on to the frame? Anyone with a first gen have any pics of theirs?

    Surprisingly not that stiff. I had 2 3/4” of rake. Now I’m sitting at 1 1/2” of rake and it’s nice

    You’re basically at what I’m at. 1” of rake but that’s because the Dakar has the 3rd leaf removed

    Not now. Stuck some strips of yoga mat between the leafs and put some between the retainer clips, also sprayed liquid Teflon in the bushings. Noise is gone

    If you bring that spring compressor to the PNW, you'll have more friends than you know what to do with.

    I feel your pain, brother. It's one of the reasons I went with ADS - their supposedly good coating. But salt will always win in the end.
