@ToddsTruckLife15 күн бұрын
That's a work in progress. The BakFlip rails were recently redesigned and will not work with the Elevate rails, but they are going to make a BakFlip rail with a built in t-slot, similar to the rail on the Revlover X4TS, that way it will work with the Elevate Rack without the need for the supplement t-slot rail. That product will most likely be unveiled at SEMA and my guess is that we'll see them start shipping around the end of the year.

@papillon5537 warranty claims are only denied if the aftermarket parts or tune caused damage. I've had mine in for recalls, and my techs are cool with it. I always return to stock before any kind of service, then reinstall the tune when I get it back, because they usually flash the PCM for updates, and that will erase anything written and can create problems if you try to reinstall after that. Then you have to get the tuning company's service reps to help restore everything.

Weight ratings were established for a full-size truck model, at the tallest setting because the taller the uprights and further apart they are, the weaker the scenario. Static is 750 pounds. That's if you're parked at the campsite with all the people and gear in the tent. 500 pounds driving on the street and 250 bouncing down the trail. Unfortunately, with the way the rail attaches to the threaded Deck Rail holes on the Tundra, it can't accommodate a t-slot rail to be sandwiched between the bed cap and the cover's rail.

@ToddsTruckLife4 ай бұрын
You can route the fill value to any place you want. I have mine set up so that I can have different pressures in each bag, so i have 2 valves, and i wanted a convenient and intuitive location for each valve if I need to fill manually. I also have the Wireless Air kit from AirLift, that I haven't had the time to install yet, but that will allow me to control the bag pressure remotely with my phone app or with their controller. Most people will probably keep the bags at the same pressure and only need 1 fill valve, and it's easier to find a convenient and intuitive location for 1 valve than it is for 2.

Hi there, just got my maverick a few days ago. Real truck reps told me i could use this rack system to haul extension ladders. What do you think? Our longest ladder is about a 32 footer so about 17' long when unextended and would hang over the roof by quite a bit, but i believe these racks go higher. Do you think these would work for me?
@ToddsTruckLife7 ай бұрын
Yes, the rack will work, but I'd recommend either a cab rack for the ladder extension above the cab, or at least a compressible pad to go between the ladder and the front of your cab. Keep in mind, there is only about 3 1/2 feet between the load bars, so if you have a foot hanging off the back, then you have 12 1/2 feet hanging off the front. You want something to relieve the stress from the front. When I haul a full-size canoe, I'll let it rest on a pool noodle above the cab. When I tighten my rachet straps on my front load bar, it compresses the pool noodle, holding it in place and balancing the pressure. Hope that's helpful! 🙂
@norzoloco15 ай бұрын
Thanks for the reply! I am pretty much settled on the elevate rack so I can also have a tonneau cover.

@ToddsTruckLife5 ай бұрын
@norzoloco1 for me, tool boxes are all about organized storage that's accessible conveniently. I like Swing Cases on most trucks, but the Maverick already has a small bed, so I actually prefer to use a removable divider by the tailgate. Just personal preference. Set it up however it works best for you.

@fernandoviray8600 you can follow the RealTruck channel and keep an eye on the site. I'll try to get a video up here, when they're available too. 🙂
Hi there, just got my maverick a few days ago. Real truck reps told me i could use this rack system to haul extension ladders. What do you think? Our longest ladder is about a 32 footer so about 17' long when unextended and would hang over the roof by quite a bit, but i believe these racks go higher. Do you think these would work for me?
Yes, the rack will work, but I'd recommend either a cab rack for the ladder extension above the cab, or at least a compressible pad to go between the ladder and the front of your cab. Keep in mind, there is only about 3 1/2 feet between the load bars, so if you have a foot hanging off the back, then you have 12 1/2 feet hanging off the front. You want something to relieve the stress from the front. When I haul a full-size canoe, I'll let it rest on a pool noodle above the cab. When I tighten my rachet straps on my front load bar, it compresses the pool noodle, holding it in place and balancing the pressure. Hope that's helpful! 🙂
Thanks for the reply! I am pretty much settled on the elevate rack so I can also have a tonneau cover. It would be nice to have a metal toolbox attached to the racks for extra storage without losing bed space.. I was thinking I could bolt the toolbox to the racks. Would be interested to hear your opinion on that.
@norzoloco1 for me, tool boxes are all about organized storage that's accessible conveniently. I like Swing Cases on most trucks, but the Maverick already has a small bed, so I actually prefer to use a removable divider by the tailgate. Just personal preference. Set it up however it works best for you.
