Traded DC to Crewmax

Just traded in my 2015 DC to a 2016 Crewmax. Really enjoying the extra room! On a side note, anyone know what these brackets are for?

 

Looks like a bed extender latch or a bed brace.
Nice trade up!

 

Thanks! I was able to transfer over almost all my DC upgrades so I’m not starting from scratch thank god. I couldn’t transfer the lift kit though

 

AMP bed extender brackets.

 

I'd love to get a crewmax, but alas my skis don't fit in short bed trucks haha

 

I see you are from Breck! I was just wondering what to do about my skis.. the land cruiser will probably end up being the mountain rig. We are usually up at Peak 8 every Thursday and Friday in the early season before it gets crazy!

 

Nice trade. Yep, those are bed extender brackets.

 

oh nice!! Yeah I usually take the wife's forester in the winter for the most part, also got a double cab with eventually getting a snowmobile/sled deck in mind hah

I manage (and soon to own) a ski shop up here called "Slope Style". Swing by sometime, my name is Nyles. Happy to offer a tundra forum local discount on gear! haha

 

Congrats from one 2016 CM owner to another!!! Nice trade.

 

A single sled deck I hope?

 

I honestly haven't given it much thought, more of a pipe dream for down the road, but yes. Don't even own a sled currently haha

 

Ah ok, I get nervous when I hear people talking about putting 2 sleds on a tundra.

 

I have a buddy with a 2016 TRD Pro who does it and haven't heard of him speak of any issues. I can't remember if he did anything to the suspension or anything though.

 

Just because it doesn't catch fire and explode doesn't mean it's not overloaded. I don't know what snowmobiles weigh, but a couple good size 4 wheelers would easily top the payload on a Tundra. That would be the reason @Warreng would be nervous.

 

How about a bed cap with a rack? I may go this route or a soft topper down the line if I am still hurting for space. Some people hate the look but I think if your truck is badass, a truck cap doesn't take away from it.

 

My 186's fit fine in the back of my CM

 

nice! I also help out with ski demo events and sometimes need to put 10-20 pairs of skis in the bed with some skis going up to 195cm so they can't be in there diagonally.

 

Hell yeah man! Where is the shop located?

 

just on Main Street. Across the street from Eric’s.

 

Well then I have honestly probably been in and out of there a million times killing time with the wife and puppy. I’ll look for ya next time we head up

 

oh gotcha!
