You bet, it's a Riversmith Euro 4-Banger fly rod carrier! Quite happy it mounts to the roof, I really didn't want to have to have a bed rack to mount it. It's supported right around the middle too, so no wiggles. I had it mounted all the way rear on my old Crosstrek, and at over 11ft long, it...

Hey all, Finally finished up the bed work to put the cover on and mod the sport bar to fit. It's been sub zero most nights for the past 6 weeks. Happy to share some tips and tricks I learned along the way. I'm super pleased with how it came out, but there were a few quirks to work. Extra...

The sport bar has two flanges that come down to bolt 3 bolts a foot into the side rails. There's also corner bed stiffeners that mount to the cab foot on each side to the cab bed rail. They aren't attached, but that's how it comes. There's 6 3-hole t-nut plates that come with it. Hope that...

Depends on factors. Dealers tend to get what they get, and some, like the one that sparked the thread https://www.peruzzitoyota.com/new-Hatfield-2025-Toyota-Tacoma+i+FORCE+MAX-Trailhunter-3TYLC5LN8ST030330 has expensive options that not many people would want, like over 2k for fancy trailer...

Ooo I totally didn't think about using those paracord cam straps! Those are so much easier and nicer for holding light stuff down back there than ratchets or bungees.. And I have those totes too, will give it a shot.

Those are pretty slick, hadn't considered them yet. They say they are compatible with the oem spray in bedliner too, so that could work well. Bed anchor points are never where you need them, so those may be good no matter what. Just ordered up the X4ts. Once that's in it'll probably just...

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Did you ever get a chance to try the OEM divider? Anyone else? Any good? Can you move it around? Work with the BAK? I'm sure if I do go with the Tmat it won't work because of the thickness. But, maybe just the rear half so I can slide things in and out?

Great to hear! what did you use for paint to match after you cut the tabs off? I was going to go with the rattlecan bedliner. I used it on my DIY rock rail steps I posted, and has a pretty good match to color and texture.

Hey folks, Could use some help verifying compatibility and looking for user feedback on selections I'm weighing. Here's my plan. I fly fish. So, I'm looking for a versatile setup that I can organize, secure and access my daily gear. But, also quickly and easily remove it all so I can...

Had to drive across the state here in southern new england to even see a Trailhunter or TRD Pro. Salesman said they weren't even bothering with allocations, whatever they get, they sell, so people have to find what they want on their own.

Dodge/RAM has never known how to stay focused. Their stuff has always left me with head scratches. It's clear everyone with a sport bar is going for the Hilux look. And I mean everyone globally, not just for sale in the USA, with their offerings. Not all options look like cheap pos, the ARB...

Cool, I'll have to give it a go one of these days. I've had a lot of turbo cars, and the crosstrek was the first not to have to have 93 in it, so, was nice. It's good to see the new engines so adaptable to octane on their own, versus having to get a tune for it.

Here's my spec sheet, I'll see if I can remember to snap a pick of the sticker. This is how it was on the lot. There were no others within 100mi of this dealer at the time in bronze oxide, and only 3 other dealers in the state that had one. They had 3, white, black and bronze. Things to...

Thanks, good to hear. From an engineering aspect, I appreicate the tight tolerances, but it does mean in general it might take more time to break in. I am curious that you really feel the impact of the higher octane. Stock mapping? Measured? What's your feedback?

I just picked up a pair of soft shackles and kinetic rope from harbor freight, since I've had 2 friends get stuck in the snow, and would have given me an excuse to play hero had I been prepared... Coming from 6 Subarus... I'm blown away how fast this truck gets hot. The heated steering wheel...

'24 Crosstrek Wilderness I really liked it, fun, capable with all the modes and over 9" of ground clearance, but just too small and not enough ... bed space

Nice. Hey, what gas mileage are you getting over that span? Just curious. Seems like most folks like me start off around 17 and work their way up to spec over the next 20k. I was quite shocked on my test drive and since how easy and confident this thing drives. On/off road, both fun and...

Cool man yeah. I haven't even broken out the air compressor yet. On my way home from the dealer I had to stop and show it off to my Taco fishing buddy. We promptly had it covered in mud and tested out the features around his neighbor's farm trails. One thing I know better though, is to...

Same. Had mine for 2 months now and love it. So nice to have all the bells n whistles factory installed with a warranty. Especially when the bells n whistles are the real deal, not half way there and need to get replaced anyway. I was so disappointed wanting to get the TRD Pro as my first...

Perhaps lol. The idea was to protect the anodized aluminum brackets that are threaded from galling over long term. Both do the trick. You don't really need the loctite with lock nuts, so the mild just seals the threads up nice. I used anti-sieze engine assembly lube.
