I have an Uptop Kilo on my 2024 Trailhunter. I like it. Got the scene pods and handholds. Mine has a lightbar up front (Tovar - white for driving, amber for emergency and traffic director). I am a SAR technician and my build is pretty extensive and exclusively as a SAR vehicle.
If you get hits let me know! I took mine off same as you and stored it in my garage. I believe that ARB may be selling an add-on Molle system to complement the sport bar which will might increase demand.... Here's hoping!
Weight added with equipment, gear... about 220 in front, about 700 in rear. So I also upgradd to Dobinson's springs to offset the weight. Running Snowclaws on OEM 18 in wheels now but will change to Falken AT4Ws on 17 in Method 703 wheels in spring.
My truck is built for Search and Rescue. Warn winch in Addictive Desert Designs bumper. Leitner Designs ACS Forged rack with boxes, etc. In bed is a Decked drawer with CargoGlide on top. Lights on ACS rack are KC Hilites (3 pair of scene lights for dog and ground search team escort). Custom...
Well, I installed it on my Trailhunter with the factory skid plates. It is great! I called ADD about this and am not sure why they take that position. But I assure you that my factory Trailhunter skid plate fit with the Addictive Desert Designs bumper with top hoop.
Yes to all if you wire them that way. I have the ability to use them as backup lights, reverse lights and scene lights (switched). There are options as to how you wire them in that control how many things they will do.
I have the Addictive Desert Designs bumper with top tube installed. Rigid amber light bar in bumper. Warn Xeon 10S winch installed. License plate mount they use is made by Rago and goes on a clevis. Can remove it.
Call Dobinsons and talk to them directly. Those springs are a confirmed fit for my Trailhunter and my local 4WD shop put them on after also verifying fitment for the 24 Tacoma. They installed without a problem.
I called Dobinsons before ordering after reading about the shocks on the Forum. I...
You are welcome. Remember, I do not have miles on this yet... but I am pretty confident I am in the ballpark. Back in the day when I was building Fast Attack Vehicles for 2/1 Infantry, I had to do weight calcs for each version of a dune buggy for lift purposes (Blackhawk, CH-47). I like to...

After researching, reading forum, and consulting with Mule Expedition Outfitters, here is my current solution for offsetting the increased weight of my truck. I previously posted a detailed list with weights for specific items kept onboard the...
I have the CaliRaisedLED ditch lights and brackets. I reported in this Forum that I purchased longer bolts to account for both brackets. But I do not have a fitment problem. It may be the ditch light brackets that you are using unless they are the same as mine...
Great hearing your story. Yes, John at SPV and his team are at the top of my customer service list. I have rarely seen this commitment to helping members... the money I spent is small compared to their helping me out. I am deeply touched when I see this kind of effort spent... just because...
Except for maybe the bear! We have a bear touring our yard here, and had one in Woodinville. I have a video of the bear climbing up a bird feeder pole we had there... looked like bear dancing. I installed the winch too high which gave him or her a step up to grab the feeders and hang on them...
Today I am installing a Rigid 20-inch amber light bar in an Addictive Desert Designs bumper. Rigid said it draws 8.5A. It is wired into the GREEN wire (10A) on the Toyota-provided OEM pigtail installed in the front driver side up near the grill. I used the WHITE wire (5A) for a CaliRaisedLED...
What you might want to do is wire them into the OEM switch (I swapped out AUX 1,2,3 with CaliRaisedLED switches so as to name them) and just turn them on from there. That gives you more options on how to use them than tying them to bed scene lights... Yes, you would need to click 2 switches...
