Do you offer one for those of us that worship Steve Jobs (RIP)???

My schedule is getting changed. Line-X will either go on this or next week along with Tint.

Valentin, I am very interested in this ramp idea as I want to put on 33’s with a FabTech 4″ lift. As you can see at stock height, I am almost slide on equal.

I love the truck but at stock height it looks a lil goofy in terms of proportions that I think some lift will help.

I am looking at something like this.

Valentin,

When you get a chance can you post some more detailed photos of the wheel system. I got my P/U Truck today.

2013 Toyota Tundra 4×4 5.7 DC-LB.

A li help.

One question, Does it allow full unencumbered articulation?

What is the height from the bed to the bottom of the platform (clearance)?

~A

[Andrew Pachon]

I think I can see that you added something to the tailgate to prevent it from getting chewed up. This is a pretty cool idea. How much do you think the entire ramp and platform weighs?.

[Andrew Pachon]

That is a pretty nifty idea Valentin. I can’t seem to see how the ramp is captured in the tilt angle? Will it end up chewing up the tailgate edge? How hard is it to push the kart on the ramp and then kart and ramp up into the bed?

Thanks for the additional info Justin. That is a 6.5″ bed right?  Do you take a table to the track with you?

I host my photos on Photobucket.com and I use the “direct” link url and copy it to the photo icon when you post a reply.

Thanks for the post Valentin, I am interested to see what yo come up with. A Friend of mine is a master carpenter and I am bouncing ideas off of him.

Valentin, Do you have a bed liner in?

Camper Shell?

What kind of elbow pad are you wearing? Right elbow only correct?

Thanks for the Photos Justin. Good looking pick-up. Did you make a shelf in the P/U too or just load everything onto the bed?

~Andy

 

[Andrew Pachon]

Now that is sharing some knowledge. Thank you even though I don’t have that braking system.

~Andy

[Andrew Pachon]

Phil, that is a pretty interesting alternative. I am thinking seeing a second kart bouncing around would definitely pucker me up.

[Andrew Pachon]

Jason, that is a pretty nifty set-up.

Thanks Joseph, Christiaan, and Donnie,

 

I plan on getting the 8ft bed. I have been working on some plans for a platform for the bed and I am also looking to get a Leer Camper shell. I got to thinking what elements I want for my bed platform. These are some that I came up with.

1. I will need the platform to be able to be removed without having to remove Camper Shell.

2. Able to support Kart and all related gear. I may be over thinking this but I am shooting for 500lbs.

3. I would like accessible under storage with doors that stay open with some sort of gas shock.

4. I’d like to have some wheel chocks for my shifter as well as tie down locations (2 front, 2 mid and 2 aft)

5. Carpeted.

What ideas do you all have? What would you add or remove from my list? What changes would you make to any of my items?

I am going the Tundra not Taco route. There are several 2013 Tundra DC LBs in SoCal. I just want some of the features of the SR5 Upgrade package that is available on the 2014, otherwise I would get a 2013 right now.

Thanks for the info Troy. Do you use an editing software when you download your vids?

sending photos of my new to me kart to my brother and friends :)

My brother will be coming out to my first track day as he wants to get into kart racing too.  I am thinking I’ve got 3 friends that need a stint in the seat to seal the deal.
