    custom car grill, KORE sliders, light bar, KORE bed bars w/ tire and high lift mount. MOBTOWN front IFS skid.
    Some additional information, high lift jack mounts and CB antenna / light pod mounts ARE included in the price. Want to mount a light pod on all 4 corners of your bars? I got ya covered. I can also put high lift jack mounting plates on both passengers and drivers side as well as across the back. Whatever configuration you prefer.

    If you would like to mount something different just shoot me a message and I'll be happy to work with you and come up with a solution to suit your needs.

    I can also paint the bars and baskets, we use a marine grade / petrochemical industry rated two part epoxy paint by PPG Paints that is spray applied to a minimum dry film thickness of 8mil. http://www.ppgpmc.com/Products/7989/AMERLOCK-2---SIGMACOVER-2.aspx . This paint is super tough and designed to withstand the harshest operating environments.

    Do your racks or cargo carriers have any sort of quick release? Really my only reservation is not being able to load my dirt bike in the back.

    Not yet, I'm working out details of two different ways to accomplish this. Stay tuned!

    Interested in a design allowing a tri-fold to open up as well, but the mounting brackets shouldn't extend over the sides of the bed rail as in my crude drawing.

    Mark,

    You're thinking something like this?

    tacoma model - top6491.jpg

    I'm not sure that I completely understand what you mean by "the mounting brackets shouldn't extend over the sides of the bed rail"

    Are you referring to these?

    If so how do you propose to fasten the bars to your bed? I can provide just flat plates but that would require drilling of the top of the bedsides.

    Looks good, just meant that they wouldn't extend out past the width of the bedsides, so as not t snag on anything.

    I understand what you mean now! That was one of my fears with my original idea to extend the top plates. I'll have some pictures of the mock ups posted after this weekend if everything goes as planned.

    I just want to make sure everyone knows how stout these things will be and the quality of @Skell products. Tony and I worked together tirelessly over the course of last weekend to fab up a new high clearance rear bumper for my truck. If you've visited the Kore website recently, then you probably saw it listed there as an item for sale. If not, I would go check it out! The bumper is badass.

    This post is to simply point out to anyone on the fence that Tony is an exceptional guy. He DOES NOT cut corners when it comes to his products. Everything he does in his shop is with an eye towards rigidity, quality, and safety, even if it will take slightly longer to do.

    I can't thank him enough for the quality work done on my bumper and other parts of my truck. These are not inferior products. I was able to see other projects he has going on and all I can say is that the new owners of said items will be VERY pleased with the craftsmanship.

    Here are the pictures of the mock up for the tonneau cover brackets. I'm going to round the vertical piece a lot more so there is no chance of getting snagged on it. This will allow a 3" tall cover to install. The piece of 3" tubing is for scale, as well as the straight edge.
