Found the Daihatsu Midget, so I'm going to start another "I'm cancelling my reservation" thread:
I like those wheels.
I was thinking the same thing with the 6 notches. Why not remove the center and drop it down to flush with the top of wheel well. Hopefully they'll see this post and fix that before production 😆I think Slate made some mistakes with the bed notches. It looks like they lost about two inches by putting tge 2x6 notches above the wheel wells. They should eliminate those two and lower the remaining four so the tops of 2x6 line line up with the highest points of the wheel well covers. Maybe flatten the wheel well tops for a bit of extra support.
Just sayin… your 99% numbers exist solely in your head, not reality.
Our opinions about consumer preferences differ widely, especially regarding 4-door pickups and SUVs.
You already have 2 supports on either end of the wheel well. Unless you have some supper flimsy material, those two should support it.
Wish the rear bench could function as a front bench..Come on Slate, give us a Slate version of the Kenworth CBE single cabs! Jokes aside I still feel like a single split bench seat w/ center arm rest cupholder would have been the cheaper route. We'll see if it just takes four bolts and an airbag sensor cable to liberate the passenger seat from the truck.
Edit: I hope the seats are identical. Get a worn out driver's seat? Just swap in a passenger one from another totalled Slate!
hard to get data for this but:
This is a fun game. My two-door vehicles...
I agree. My Tacoma has the setup you describe and it has worked for everything I’ve needed. Unless the notch height has something to do with the back seats I’d want to carry my plywood as low as possible.
