    Man, those aren’t easy to install by yourself. Try to get a second set of hands. Mostly positioning them is difficult. Be sure you have a floor jack to press them up against the truck. I’ll be home around 6 after work, a little late, but let me know if you need help. You gotta get those on before Sunday. Took me and a buddy about 3.5 hours on mine. And don’t fill up your gas tank. You might have to loosen it up to get it mounted. A lot easier with an empty tank I’m assuming. I did mine without loosening the tank but yelled many many cuss words. Also don’t torque the nuts down til you get them all on.

    Thanks for the tips. I got jack stands and floor jack to help out holding them up. I'll let you know if I need help.

    Install is Complete. Bryan did a great job with the install. Thanks Mark and JP for helping out with spacers that I needed for the rear

    Truck drives better than stock!!

    Yeah, if you listen to the radio, don’t get the tiny stubby. It’s intolerable in our area.

    Get the AntennaX (Black Billet) 7". It's half the the size of the normal one, and looks just right for the tundra (In my humble opinion). I have one, I didn't even notice a signal loss.

    Got the gas tank dropped down, removed old steps and getting ready to mount the driver side slider. Body mount bracket is the wrong size. The holes in the bracket don't even line up with the sliders. Waiting for SDHQ to call me back.

    SDHQ called me back. They had packing issues and thought it was all sorted out and they shipped replacement parts to everyone. Somehow I was passed up. They are shipping new body mount brackets. Hopefully they get here this week.

    I didn't take any pics. It's step 2 in the instructions. The part that goes in the body mount isn't correct.

    What you using instead? That little stubby doesn't work in our area too well. I think I need to replace it.

    I now have a 27” so it no longer hits the garage. Works about the same as factory which is not great in our area.

    Correct SDHQ body mount brackets are scheduled for delivery by UPS tomorrow. Looks like Friday night will be round 2 for driver side slider install.

    Driver side slider is installed. What a pain and boy was it heavy but 2 jack stands and a jack made it possible. Dinner time. Passenger side tomorrow morning.

    Wrong and correct parts
