I dig it. I bought that also but have to sell it.
I have one from CaliRaised and tossed the OEM trim piece. I don’t want to buy that piece again.
I did keep the arms and I also got the handle mount for my radio - which is awesome. Moved from B Ball Mounts to all 20mm mounts which I like a lot...
This design isn't for everyone and Im not fully sure its for me. I do love the idea but its a little big. I love my APL35.
I will say though - my initial thoughts do lean towards liking it a lot. My use will tell and time will tell.
I got my hands on the new Iceco VL45 Plus during its Kickstarter Campaign.
While Im doing a few videos on it, I wanted to share my first impressions on it.
What makes it different:
→ 3-way access system (left lid, right lid, side slide-out basket)
→ Vacuum Insulated Panels + 2.8" thick...
I first had to do a 12v relocation kit since I have a Hybrid.
Once that was done it was smooth sailing.
I did everything with @BlazeOff-Road
12V Relocation Kit w/ dual Garmin power switches.
I originally had my SS5s on my roof rack but after some cleaning and organizing I found it possible to park in the garage. The only thing, the lights hit so I removed them and ordered a DD 40” Lightbar. Still wanting to keep the SS5s, I moved 4 of them to grill.
I had to remove the bumper...
Update on my end. I got it on yesterday.
A local shop had them in stock and assembled.
Ill shoot some more appropriate photos but sharing a few.
Fun fact, the Agency6 handles fit perfectly to replace the OEM handle. Just added a few rubber washers to help seal it.
Im running Toyo Open Country ATIII -- 315/70/17 +25 offset and don't rub at all.
Just have to remove the crash plate. I've only added a stiffer spring in the rear from AllDogs to help with weight.
Thank you for the message and that has been the general theme that Im hearing.
I have heard stories of it leaking though I imagine that is people not putting them together properly.
It does peak my interest around the general differences between Smartcap, OVS and other toppers like GFC.
Howdy all - curious how all those in this thread with the topper installed -- how is it doing?
Im going between the Smartcap and the OVS. OVS is about 1/2 the price but not really finding much wrong with it.
Would love to know how its been holding up now for those with it installed.
Any...
Great looking rig. Yeah - I havne't done a tune or anything. Im waiting for the S&B to be approved in California. I honestly don't know if they have a tune for the TRD Pro yet. The Banks system is also catching my eye.
I did my weight recently and I was 6,700lbs. 3540 on the front and 3060...
Through that lens - I have plenty of HP and/or torque on the highway. I've never felt robbed of that. To be clear, yes it sucks, but I don't care. This truck is great and I personally didn't buy it for MPGs. I bought it because I have 1 life and we love spending time outdoors.
Well I can't order the S&B kit yet for my truck - apparently its not allowed yet under California law.
I'm not posting this to start any political discussion - just awareness but genuine frustration.
Im sure S&B will get clearance from the CARB people. (California Air Resource Board)...
My MPGs suck but I don’t fully blame the rack and lights. It was also the larger tires and added weight from the bumpers, sliders, armor and gear.
I hover around 14.1-14.5 in the city and then 15-18 highway.
