$8500 for something that has a semi translucent roof would drive me insane when the sun comes up. My RTT makes me angry enough as it is

 

WOW. Didn't notice that. you can see the solar panels right through it!!! Weird.

 

Ok but a nice canopy costs $3,000 and a nice hardshell tent costs also $3000, plus a couple hundred for the rack and all. $1500 extra for it to be able to be used as an actual camper sounds beyond worth it to me. We live in the PNW, a heatable area I can stand in out of the elements where I could cook or hang out when it's miserable sounds like a huge selling point.

From a utility and weight perspective these new pop-up canopies seem like a great deal to me.

 

yeah GFC advertises it as a “feature” that I wouldn't want either. I’ve seen a few people vinyl wrap their roofs to black out the light.

 

Anyone got a lead on some cbi bolt on sliders for a 3rd Gen?

 

there is some Metal tech bolt on sliders a few posts earlier for a 3rd gen -- not CBI but local and probably cheaper

 

So crazy they are 1150 picked up from MT....they used to be like 750 picked up. Just more rona BS

 

didnt even realize that, thats crazy. I know cost of materials and everything has gone through the roof but still

 

steel prices have skyrocketed since COVID. I went to the steel yard the other day for the first time in awhile and couldn’t believe a stick of tubing was about 50% more than I paid early last year. (I had stocked up right before the lockdown)

still sucks though.

 

It's cool how they have a little bootlegger escape hole into the rest of the canopy, but it's pretty ugly overall which is a big motivator for me on a lot of Taco related purchases.

 

I will mention, I'm currently midway through getting my truck built by Wanderlust Overland(very reputable shop in Oregon City for any not familiar with them), I was originally planning on going with MetalTech sliders because I tend to like to buy local if I can but they actually advised to go with RCI or CBI instead because MetalTech's mounting design isn't as robust as others. Just something to be aware of I guess.

 

A

DCSB/ACLB or DCLB?

Check out BAMF. They're built like a brick shithouse, they seem to have semi reasonable prices, lead times, and shipping.

DCSB. Thank you. Feels kinda weird starting over, had a lot of stuff on my 05 including Jim Snells weld-ons. This is a little different though, being brand new and all.

 

Interesting. I’ll be honest I mostly want them to prevent door dings so should be fine.

 

Oh! You got a new 3rd gen? Congrats! Be sure to update the info in your profile... currently shows the 05 AC.

 

Yeah I just got it Saturday. I kind of disappeared from this site since the Rona. I’m gonna really work towards actually paying this off before doing anything modification wise. But sliders would protect my shiny doors and if I can find a used set I’ll be happy.

 

I had noticed you went MIA, but glad to see you made it back. Welcome back! Pics of the new truck?

 

Looks good! I love the look of a black car, especially a blacked out Taco. I just can't do it because i dont want to keep up with cleaning it etc.

 

Yeah met a lot of good people on here. Got super distracted with a new job and getting married and moving. Sad to see my 05 go but it was too good of a trade deal. Didn’t get the chance to take my mods off before hand but it’s alright, someone can go buy the whole truck from Larson’s on South Tacoma way for a ridiculous markup most likely.
