IIRC the shelf sits about 2"-3" below the 2nd row seatbacks when they are folded so you would be slightly head high if you slept with your head toward the front. There would also be the issue of the front fence (1 1/2" tall) unless you used a fairly thick mattress pad.

Sorry but the BeyondCargo tray I had seems to be extinct. There is a still active link in the top post of this page for another tray option that is very similar. Actually 2 links. One for the manufacturer and another for Amazon. Both opened when I tried them. I can say the tray survived and...

A 5x8 would have been my first choice but was a little more than I was willing to spend. Sounds like you have a good plan.

How often do you travel loaded, or is it only when towing the boat? If only when towing you might be better off using an airbag system so you can air up for heavier towing, then air back down for daily driving.

Lol. No rhyme or reason behind it. I was fine with factory rear springs until I started adding gear. The Toytec's were bought used off the for sale thread in here, then a few years later after adding the rear bumper I needed more rear spring again. I actually reseerched the OME's and Dobinsons...

Any of them should work, but at worst you may need to remove the rear angled cross bar. I never tried any because I couldn't find one to support my weight.

Front - Bilstein 5100 set at 0 with OME 2885 medium springs (2" lift). These almost perfectly offset the weight of the bumper and winch while retain an almost factory ride quality. There is still some nose dive but not as bad. Rear - Bilstein 5100 and Toytec +10% Superflex springs. These are...

I bought a 300# rated 2' high fiberglass step ladder. I can walk it around the truck as needed to get at everywhere on the roof rack, and it is small enough folded to fit in the back or on the rack with gear. I do have one of those aluminum door jamb steps and it seems to hold my weight fine...

Take a picture of the side that has light on it. Hard to tell with all the shadow on black tires and wheels. But at a guess I'm thinking it's a 3" Revtech spacer lift. That's what the San Antonio dealer had installed on their "show off" SR5 on display when I was shopping.

No help in that department. When all is said and done they are only about 1/2" wider than the factory flares.

The first image was mine 2 weeks after I bought it in 2014. This is after an hour of highway driving in an ice storm that hit San Antonio. I was also working on land oil rigs at the time so I understand what you are describing. Unless you can find a wide set of flaps that drops almost to the...

I was going to ask about this. Have you tried setting the parking brake before putting it in Park? This can sometimes free any bind the trans may get in the linkage.

I bought a pair of RCI ones over the holidays, as well as front a-arm and differential skids. I have only had time to install the a-arm skids so far, and the link skids require drilling in the bottom of the frame. I'll try to post pics when I get around to it. And while the driver side bracket...

Almost 5 years on an open air driveway in the deep south. It is still OMG White when it's clean. Mind you I don't wash it as often as I should. But the wife just commented on one of our few sunny days last week that it is too bright. I still can't get a decent picture of it when it's clean and...

I have an SSO Slimline bumper and winch totaling around 130 lbs on mine. I lost about 3/4" to sag on the "factory" Trail springs (590lbs?). I ended up going to an OME 885 which was almost perfect to offset that much weight, but I am on 5100's and could set my notch back at 0 to offset for the 2"...
