    You still trying to install it without cutting the rack? I’ll have time tomorrow to do some testing.

    I just cut it haha. I wanted to try it, but I'll just hope it doesn't let too much junk in. I might see if I can make some sort of janky boot setup or wrap it in a bicycle tube or something

    Lol oh okay. U turns are definitely much wider for me now. I’m not sure how much different it is affected vs the 2.25 kit. I haven’t noticed anything yet getting passed the seals. I’m curious how it does in the salted roads when I go snowboarding this season.

    That's good to hear. I'm definitely going to watch it though. They started putting some nasty chemicals on our roads in winter.

    Only took 9 months to blow a brand new Toyota rack, so I got another new one, hoping rack issues are a thing of the past with this slide rack setup.

    I think I'm gunna do the quick and dirty on this bed cage to get it working, then design and build a whole new bed cage and bed rack that mount to each other really easy so the rack doesn't sit on the fibreglass that I still have to install as well

    Almost! Still working out the bed cage.

    I think I have a plan that will work for now and got one side tacked up how I think it will go. Not perfect, but I'll gusset the top of the shock tabs to make up for the giant notch out of the tube. I'll probably build a whole new cage soon anyway.

    Thank you for taking the time to document the battery issues (link) in your build thread. This is VERY helpful. One love.

    Posted up another YouTube video of the Whipsaw trail. Usually my friend Ollie (who is amazing at making videos) shoots and edits our trip videos, but I did this one myself. Lots of room for improvement, but happy with how it came out. It was a fun trip regardless and I smashed another tail light making 2 this year already.

    Let me know your thoughts, appreciate constructive criticism! And it truly helps if you subscribe :anonymous:

    The rear of my truck is a little heavier than yours but do you regret SUA at all? I do much of the same stuff offroad stuff you do so I am curious to hear. I am not a go fast desert racer.

    My only regret is that I wish I had just linked my truck. But other than that, I'm super stoked on the SUA. It's awesome for how I use the truck. Super smooth going quick, flexes great, no harsh bottom outs, ever. Holds all the weight I need it to. I do drag them on rocks sometimes when I'm doing more aggressive obstacles, but it's never really been a problem. Driveshaft and breakover angle have always been more of an issue.
