Love the tailgate panels as well..

How long are you thinking until production? Keep us informed!

Thank you - did the Slee Skid only need to be cut on the one side? I didn't realize it was so "turned up" so much - my CBI is as well but apparently not that much, I did not have to cut mine with a 1.5" bracket.
You did mention it was bent as well, Correct?


In other KDSS Kit news..

I have another batch in process, including 1 Available Tundra swapped 200 Long Arm set.. I am super confident on the fit will be basically the same but another kit is going to a test truck as well... so the other one will be available soon after.. And then it will be a regular production part (probably in small quantities unless there is a demand for more, let me know, I am happy to adjust)
The kit price will go up overall, because materials basically doubled again.. I am paying 3+x more now than when I did the first set in Nov 24', always American made from the same supplier. Labor, Same story.

At this point it is what it is, I have to adjust.

New product news.
I am hopefully in the final stages of a set of rear hatch cover plates that directly replace the factory carpeted ones but are A) Aluminum and B) strong enough to stand on.
Sounds kind of boring, but they turn your tail gate into a table you can actually use with no modifications (move the latches from the stock ones to these and stick your carpeted ones in the garage. You can use a stove on them, they don't rattle, and the install is 2 - 8mm nuts to undo and then the are latches swapped over, maybe 5 minutes or so total install time. Nothing permanent, no cutting, etc.. You can use the Gamaviti tail gate bags (perfect!!), your factory stuff fits or whatever.

Right now, I am leaning towards NOT doing any coating on them (just brushed finish), so you can use them a food prep surface OR if you want powder coat them to match your interior color. Powder coat and food prep do not go together. Maybe a hard anodize would work but color becomes an issue (black is the go to, which of course will not match beige interiors IMHO)

Fully Aluminum construction, bullet proof, stand on it to access the roof, and cleanable for food prep.

Anyway, coming soon-ish after the next rev.

FYI... The Company name will be changing soon... just an FYI... I'll update on that later... the big G, didn't like the work I did for the Dakar rally teams engine management.
So, no more selling 8-bit Hex code on chips as part of my normal business. that stuff will be sold to a specialized company..

If you are taking input, I personally would love a coated / textured set of tailgate covers.

Noted, I am redesigning the way the latch mounts (you reuse your existing latches) to make it easer to manufacture. Target coating is hard anodized black. Powder coat, cerakote, line-X could come off if you used it say as a cutting board. But Powder coat would the easiest to do. So open to desires there.. first batch will probably be bare brushed Aluminum so you could match it to your interior if desired.

Now that the Tundra KDSS Max kit is done and the first one is headed for a verification fit tomorrow or friday, I can turn to the tailgate covers fully.. Not an expert in CAD so it takes me a bit, and to test print for fit, etc.. But i'll go as fast as makes sense.
