I was thinking of doing a version with written instructions and no voice over. Is that what you’re thinking? I do have a Colorado rear Coastal Offroad bumper with tire swing-out video in the editing stage.

Appreciated, especially from someone who uses and pushes their rig! She’s not perfect but the goal is to get out and explore. Perfection is for those who don’t actually get to enjoy their trucks haha

@@sixthplaceoffroad Exactly! Each dent and scratch tells a story and the epic trip that came with it!

@ 100%!

Happy to help, hard to know how hard to pull if you don’t know which way to pull haha

Appreciated!

Grinding that chrome was a nasty task! Might have to post that video!

I’m pretty happy with my Ram. I have had some front end issues because of how I use it off road but upgrading to proper control arms and cv axles (to correct angles from the lift) has improved it a ton. I should have the “update” video posted in the next week or two It does well in winter and the only real draw back for me is the size. I would like it to be smaller for trails and Offroad but that’s not a deal breaker, just a few more scratches 😂

I wonder if that’s a difference between early and late 3rd Gens… I’ll have to double check that, thanks!

Glad I could help!

Sometimes its hard to give the customer their truck back after installing cool upgrades like this one haha

Glad I could help!

What are you talking about? I showed no electrical tape in the video… are you thinking the protective wire loom is tape?

Since install we have had issues with hyper flash, and connections. Curious to try your “auto” setting advice.

We loved these lights, I would recommend checking the contact points if you have any issues (some seem to be pushed in and don’t contact well from factory)

@@sixthplaceoffroad thank you

Appreciated!

Are you looking for the overall width between the tracks or the width/dimensions of the mounting base of the Backbone that sits on the tracks?

The “feet” have a base of 1.75” x 2.5”. As for the backbone length, they come in 2 sizes (short or long)

It’s more the damage the cv will cause to the splines while slamming in and out on rough terrain.

@@sixthplaceoffroadnot only that but the wheel bearing relys on the axle and tightness of it to stay balanced

glad I listened haha

Unfortunately this axle does not have one. Would prefer if they did!

This tray is 48x60 (inches). Does NOT touch the doors when open.

@sixthplaceoffroad curious though whats model# of the backbone. As I'm trying to fit a 71x56 rack but also wants backbone system under it.

#RUMB1 are 67” (5’7”) and #RUMB2 are 55” (4’6”)

Noticeable difference Forsure! Worth the few dollars and 5 minutes of effort, in my opinion.

Good question! Simplest answer is that you need something to attach the tray to the tracks. Another good option would be to use “towers” instead of the Backbone, but cost wise it’s not much cheaper. Another purpose is to have access to the underside of the tray for mounting different accessories and routing and wires for things like lights.

RSI advertises the static load limit at 770lbs and the dynamic at 330lbs. As for the RhinoRack Backbone and tray, they do a pretty good job of avoiding giving an actual number. But in my experience the tray and mounts are going to exceed the limits of what they are mounted to in terms of weight capacity It is worth mentioning that I would always add bed stiffness if you are putting that much weight on a Tacoma.

And the off-road???? 3 numbers most don’t ask 3 numbers most don’t know exist

@@theshop5331 you are correct, those numbers are hard to find (if they ever post them) for most Offroad/Overland roof racks. I will do some more digging and see if I can get any solid numbers. On a personal level, I assume 50% for any “On Road” rating while Offroad.

I’m sure they will!

?

Forsure, I find them to be a mix of yellow, amber and green. Vivid does have other lens colour options that can be swapped in for a few dollars.

I am about to film one on installing ditch lights, which is the same wiring and mounting as light bars, pods, etc.

Awesome. I appreciate it. I’ve got a 2007 Ram 1500 SLT 2WD that I’m doing a new engine and transmission in. Just did the speakers and head unit, doing a locking tailgate/backup camera, front camera, remote start, and I want to do a level kit, new tires and rims, and power running boards. One of my biggest wants is to get rid of the front bench seat and put 2 seats and a full center console in. So a few projects ahead of me. lol

⁠@@shortypikemp1Funny you say that, I just did a swap for the “Business console” about a month ago. Highly recommend it! I am also about to change out my leveling kit with longer (lifted) struts, corrected control arms and stops. Which I should have done from the start!

Nice. Any particular console you can recommend? I’m thinking a 2.5 lift on the front and 1.5 in the rear for the level and upgrading the struts. I do want to ensure to upgrade the control arms and new (probably fox) shocks.

@@shortypikemp1I pulled one from a scrapped truck so it bolted right in. I believe they only came in the Laramie trim level. I’m not sure about the 2wd, but the 4wd didn’t like the 2.5”, so I’m going down to 2” to put less stress on the CV’s . I also had the rear at 1.5”, not sure if I’ll go down to 1” or keep a little rake for when I tow) . I wanted the fox but went bilstein due to cost.

Nice! I highly recommend a headunit upgrade. I will be switching mine out again for one with appleplay, etc so I can have maps up when offroad. It might be worth taking a voltmeter to your battery / alternator if you're getting a drop in light output.

Top of the tray is 5.25” off the RSI cap.

Direct bolt on is also an option, the hardware to do so is included. The RSI Smart Cap has tracks build in.

Depending on the year, You could try RCI Offroad.

Just installed one on a 2016 4Runner last week!

Kelowna

Nice, me too

Unsure of the shaft diameter.

Hopefully it solves your problem!

We’ve done a few of them and have had no issues. You will definitely be happy with how yours turns out! If you’re mounting lights, run the wires first (under the “cross braces”). This makes for a very clean looking set up.
