    Our general recommendation is to not have a rack that extends underneath the overhang. I'm not the best person to know which racks fit that bill, but the folks on our customer service team would know. Give them a call/email/or website chat and they'll get you sorted.

    For with the what? Do you mean would it fit? Probably not, would need to cut modify it. Or sell/trade it for the Sherpa Animas designed for the GFC

    I have a V2 on my daily driver stock 21 double cab long bed sport. It knocks maybe 1/2 mpg off it. I still average 19-20 mpg a tank.

    Im assuming you have a short bed, i dont think it will without modifying your rack or sell it and get the proper one which is what i did. Super. Easy in this market to sell anything tacoma related with the waitlists on almost everything lol

    With no beef bars it’s around 275lbs for a short bed i believe. My long bed with 3 beef bars was. 297lbs.

    Wow, nice to hear directly from the owner of such a great company! My son made the 1500 mile round trip to Belgrade earlier this spring to have you install a tent on his 2020 4-door manual Taco. He is still raving about the ease of setup and quality of build and installation. So nice to see that you are able to grow and prosper during these challenging times. Good luck!

    Besides the tent included? What else would be strapped on top of the tent?

    Don't really have anything to add but am build 4012, have my appointment for August 14, super stoked and hope to meet you! Do you have any pics of single cabs? Mine is a 2nd gen single cab, didn't see any on your guys website. Also how do you recommend the weatherproofing before I arrive or is that something you guys do?

    Just visited the factory last week while on my road trip! Talked with Thomas for a while about them and they're awesome! Hoping to place an order soon depending on how fast I can sell my current setup.

    Are there any plans to put an option of a fan or sunroof in the tent or big updates coming in the near future?

    Almost 4000 campers down the road from mine and in only four years. Not bad.

    Not sure if this is allowed or not, but here a link to an access cab gen2 post on their forum. There a bunch of other posts on waterproofing the bed too.
