    Thanks for the feedback! I am going to try and build one out of extrude aluminum as the structure. But I think the height (based on the 3D model) right now is 2 11/16".

    Viper cut with the SSO Armageddon armor. A fun project with my brother-in-law welder. Used a couple layers of black sound deadening to protect/conceal the exposed reservoir.

    Greenlane Automotive sliders with a kickout. Enough protection for what I need and a step for me to access the roof.

    just bought Blaster surface shield for KDSS after work.
    as opposed to other products that are black, I chose clear and I liked surface shield performance in YouTube comparisons.

    which part of KDSS system am I missing here that should get rust protection? many thanks

    This is good info. I'm trying to devise a slider for the back that will make everything level for sleeping, but with the added functionality of sliding out. Found a commercial option, but didn't want to bit the bullet until I figured out the actual height

    I am trying to build a modified version of Adv4x4 platform build.

    https://youtu.be/aIin2rq508A

    I only want the platform part with the pull-out so I can use the pull-out for cooking or coffee under the rear hatch. Thinking carpet on top for easy of cleaning and matching the rest of the back with the seats down, but wood underneath for a few anchor points for strapping things down. The little pin sticking out of the side for handles to lift in and out when I am daily driving.

    Yep plug & play. Bolts right up to the stock bracket. Connector is the same.

    The stock crossover pipe goes under the transfer case and protrudes below the frame, creating a snag point. The reroute improves ground clearance.

    Is there an app for the Fitcamx? If so, is the app for the Fitcamx easy to use?

    Yes the Kicker tweeters sound better. For the price and stupid easy installation, they were worthwhile for me.

    Thanks to the more upright windshield on the 5th gen, installation is easier than in the Tacoma - there's more socket clearance to reach the bolts.

    What happens to the little plastic covers after installing these? I imagine they don't fit anymore?

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    This Nautical Blue when it's clean! Wheels still look pretty good after the Rustoleum paint job almost 3 years ago too.Shiny1.jpg Shiny.jpg Wheels after three years.jpg
