@@Epiphany311 you can get load stops for the load bars. The uprights have built-in tie-downs in the base.

@@ToddsTruckLife thank you! Have you seen one of these racks installed with a Ram 1500 with Ramboxes? Do you know if they work?

@Epiphany311 Sorry, it won't work with RamBoxes. The Elevate Rack is designed to transfer the weight of the load to the bed caps. RamBox beds don't really allow for that because their bed cap is a lid that has to open. But I will say that RamBoxes are a super cool innovation that allows you to reclaim relatively unused space around the wheel arches and repurpose it as a storage area. I've always liked RamBoxes, and all the similar solutions from GM, Nissan, and Toyota just seem like bad knock-offs to me.

@LuisPerez-vy6bz Elevate is available in 2 formats: FS and CS. The load bars on the FS are longer for full-size trucks because the bed is wider. The CS is for mid-size and compact applications. The uprights are the same for FS and CS. T-Slot rails are specific to the length of the bed.

@@ToddsTruckLife thank you for providing that information Sir. That’s very helpful. Much appreciated!

@ErikMostue yes, the t-slot rail is sandwiched between the bed cap and the tonneau rail. The TruXport is currently the only Truxedo cover that will not work with the Elevate system.

@stevesultemeier4475 realtruck.com/p/truxseal-tailgate-seal/v/ford/maverick/2022/ After 2 years it hold up great. In fact, I've removed some of it to reconfigure the seal and it's a bit of work to remove. The key is in the prep. Make sure you clean the surface of the paint with rubbing alcohol. I use 91% isopropyl that you can get at the grocery store. That removes everything from the paint and the adhesive is designed to stick to automotive paint. Today, I was actually just thinking about making an updated video showing the reconfigured setup, so stay tuned!

@@ToddsTruckLife Thanks

@Combatpzman great question! I'll check it out and report back!

@Combatpzman so, I checked underneath, and if you want to lift from the pinch weld, there's not enough room to fit the factory scissor jack. That being said, I removed the factory jack almost immediately after I got my truck, and I now keep a small floor jack tucked behind the back seat. I find scissor jacks unstable, and you're limited to lifting at the pinch weld only. If I rease at the rear, I place my floor jack under the rear lower control arm, and for the front, I go to the subframe or LCA, depending on what I want to do. So I get the question, but it's not important if you're well equipped. Hope that's helpful!

@@ToddsTruckLife Thanks, I was just curious. I have the hybrid, so I don't think any of the steps work anyway.

@Combatpzman actually, some of the steps from Ionic and Steelcraft have special hardware for the passenger side, for if you have the hybrid. Those are more traditional steps, and they hang a little lower than these. They cost a bit less than mine, but they're also not nearly as stout, so they don't offer the same kind of protection. 🙂

Forgot to mention that my DSS Sliders don't attach to the same locations as most other steps out there. Mine attach at much stronger locations. I think it might even be strong enough to raise the vehicle by placing a jack on the bottom of my brackets, but I don't want to make that claim without checking the CAD on the truck to see if it would be strong enough, and safe jack locations. And yes, these are approved for installation on the hybrid.

@papillon5537 perfect for the kids for sure!!

@MistaDontPlay34 well, they do make regular lug nuts too. I like the splines on my wheels.

@getnautical9579 standard install is universal but some applications like Tacoma and Gladiator with Trail Rail will install differently.

@getnautical9579 was this on a Maverick or a different truck?

@getnautical9579 not sure I understand... if you're asking about the kayak carriers, clamping around the load bar was tight and I had to flex it into place. But I figured out the carrier can be installed via the t-slot on top of the load bar, so that's how I run it now.

Or what clamps will work

That's a work in progress. The BakFlip rails were recently redesigned and will not work with the Elevate rails, but they are going to make a BakFlip rail with a built in t-slot, similar to the rail on the Revlover X4TS, that way it will work with the Elevate Rack without the need for the supplement t-slot rail. That product will most likely be unveiled at SEMA and my guess is that we'll see them start shipping around the end of the year.

I sent it up the chain. If they decide to make it, my guess is that it would be under the Go Rhino brand.

How did the beam pattern come out?

@user-jj4bv9fc6n well, I energized them before I installed them on the brackets, and they project a perfect, wide rectangular pattern that you want in a function fog lamp. The spot beam shoots over the low fog beam, so it will work great as a long beam once I actually wire them up. I NEED to do that, but I've just been too busy with other things. I put it off because I also want to install my power distribution system instead of having a lone switch. Eventually, I'll get it done, and I'll make a video for that, too. 😉

Awesome!!

Glad to be helpful!!

I appreciate teachers. I love to share knowledge, so I guess that makes me a teacher at heart. I was also the product trainer at RealTruck for several years. Never stop learning or teaching! 🙂 Glad I was helpful!

I've not used the Cobb tuner on the Maverick, so I can't compare tuning, but DiabloSport Trinity had a larger display for showing things like boost, transmission fluid temp, engine coolant temp, intake air temp, current gear, etc. It also has a 93 octane tune, 87 tune, and towing tune. Hope that's helpful!

@@ToddsTruckLife Thank Tod! Mine is 2024 maverick FX4, I followed your link and it seems not supported by DiabloSports yet, If we use this tuning will affect the warranty?

@papillon5537 warranty claims are only denied if the aftermarket parts or tune caused damage. I've had mine in for recalls, and my techs are cool with it. I always return to stock before any kind of service, then reinstall the tune when I get it back, because they usually flash the PCM for updates, and that will erase anything written and can create problems if you try to reinstall after that. Then you have to get the tuning company's service reps to help restore everything.

Thanks for the important hint!!!@@ToddsTruckLife

Thanks!

Anything scratches with enough force, and Gorilla has a much better finish than most. The biggest thing I'll recommend is to keep pneumatic impact tools away from your lug nuts.

😆 Yes, I could have. But I'm driven by the desire to make things a little bit better. 😉

Happy I was helpful!

I'm happy you found it helpful!

Weight ratings were established for a full-size truck model, at the tallest setting because the taller the uprights and further apart they are, the weaker the scenario. Static is 750 pounds. That's if you're parked at the campsite with all the people and gear in the tent. 500 pounds driving on the street and 250 bouncing down the trail. Unfortunately, with the way the rail attaches to the threaded Deck Rail holes on the Tundra, it can't accommodate a t-slot rail to be sandwiched between the bed cap and the cover's rail.

@@ToddsTruckLife Your saying it doesn't work with that tonneau on the trudra?

@@isaynox if it's the older style design that clamps to the bed rail flange, then it would work as long as you have 1/8" between the frame of the cover and the inside of the rail. But the newer generation covers don't clamp the same, and the aluminum mounting brackets bolt directly into the threaded holes in the top of the bed. That design doesn't work with the t-slot rails.

@ToddsTruckLife thanks Todd.. I have already purchased the elevate rack and I believe it's well past the returning date unfortunately. It seems like the only problem is making the clamps work.. there's no way to improvise these clamps like adding some washers or something?

I had my X4S installed with the t-slot rails and it worked great, but there were some engineering tollerance changes, and some people have had fitment issues. Fortunately, the Revlover X4TS is scheduled to start shipping at the beginning of April, and that has a t-slot built into the rail, so there won't be a need for the additional t-slot rail and the installation will be much simpler.

@@ToddsTruckLife thanks for the quick reply, I have the ford oem x4s that has the rubber underneath instead of the cloth and I’m wondering if the elevate t slots will be compatible?

@69jeffb69 the "X4TS rails only" will be available for those who want to convert their Revlover.

@@ToddsTruckLife ok so I guess the ts rails will not fit my vehicle then? That’s a bummer. Thanks for the help

Night shots can be tricky because of automatic light balancing, but I do want to get that. Stay tuned!

Well I have a lot of stuff on this thing, but I'm sitting in an airport right now. LOL Is there anything in particular you want to know about?

Nothing in particular. Nice setup. Once I get mine, I'll go back over the video.

Thanks!

If the corner cap is broken, call customer service, and they can get you a replacement.

You can route the fill value to any place you want. I have mine set up so that I can have different pressures in each bag, so i have 2 valves, and i wanted a convenient and intuitive location for each valve if I need to fill manually. I also have the Wireless Air kit from AirLift, that I haven't had the time to install yet, but that will allow me to control the bag pressure remotely with my phone app or with their controller. Most people will probably keep the bags at the same pressure and only need 1 fill valve, and it's easier to find a convenient and intuitive location for 1 valve than it is for 2.

Not that I noticed. That was a concern of mine too. You have to keep at least 5psi in the bags, so I was concerned that it might be a bit stiffer unloaded, but I couldn't tell the difference. Once I loaded it up with the all the stuff I keep in my bed and on my rack, I ended up with 17psi to get the ride height back. (I haul a lot around. LOL)
