RCI Sliders Crew Max Long Bed (CMLB) install question

Does anyone have experience installing the RCI sliders on you 2022+ CMLB?

There is a gas tank bracket bolted to the frame that interferes with the bracket on the slider. (see pictures) Looking at an install video on youtube, the bracket on the sliders has a slot or gap that fits over the gas tank bracket. The tundra is the video is a CMSB so my initial thought is RCI sent me the wrong sliders. However, you can see in the picture they laser cut "CMLB" on the bottom of the slider so it must be the correct version. Nothing in the instructions say anything about removing the gas tank bracket... Its Sunday so I guess I can wait until tomorrow to call them but this is frustrating.

Thanks

 

here is a snippet of the gas bracket and the slot RCI has on their slider

 

Could it be they sent you the hybrid version and your not a hybrid or vise versa?

 

I don't think so...rci's website doesn't have a different option for hybrid vs non-hybrid.

I think the gas tank on the long bed sits further back than the short bed but haven't confirmed.

 

I have the short bed. Find a point to measure from and send it over I’ll measure mine. When I installed my sliders I didn’t have a bracket in the way at all.

 

I confirmed with RCI that the gas tank bracket will need to be removed for the long bed trucks. it has to be reinstalled on top (under) of the sliders. Their instructions dont mention it and they admitted their instructions suck. Theyre reworking them in the near future.

Hopefully this thread helps someone who runs into the same issue.
