2007 Tundra Limited

6 inch lift, ADS suspension, Alcan custom rear springs, 46 gallon metal gas tank, Full Line-x body, Wheels with 35's, Smittybilt bumpers front and rear, 10k warn winch, custom rack.

Currently I have this setup in my truck from Smittybuilt. It's not bad, but what I hate the most about it is that when I open it the bar drops about 3 to 4 inch's, which means every time you got to close it you have to lift it up and slide it into it's spot. Not a problem for me, but my wife hates it. I went to a overland event and one of the tacoma trucks had a gate that had metal instead of poly bushings like mine. Seem very sturdy and didn't drop that much when it opened. Anyone know of any good ones out there that are sturdy and don't flex so much. Plus, I'm looking to go to a vertical mount style. This one is cool, but it makes the truck just too long, and I know I can flip it but I like having my bed space.
