    I don't like high weight, so I put my RTT on some crossbars atop the bed. I'm tall enough to see over the tent when merging.
    The low placement means my ladder is pretty flat, but the new ladders collapse, so height is irrelevant to them.

    I really like that your set-up has a lower center of gravity.

    I tend to be a 'spirited' driver in all things - so low CoG was a big consideration on a jacked up truck, even w/ a 2.7L. :anonymous:
    I did try the tent up atop a cap, but it felt ready to roll to me. LOL.

    I went 4.88’s on 35’s back when tbat was the only option. If I would do it again then 5.29’s for sure since they’re an option now

    Already posted this elsewhere, but I just did the A Pillar phone Mount mod, using the Ram Mount. It’s surprisingly strong, and should have no trouble at all holding my phone on even the bumpiest terrain.

    This is so true. I’m trying to add a Gen 1 Tundra regular cab V8 4x4 to my collection, too. Keep the Tacoma for happy-happy fun trips, and use the Tundra as my work truck. Slim pickens, I gotta say, but I’ll find one.
