Love the idea. Perfect timing too as I was wondering how I was going to get my series 3 on my Tacoma alone. Have you thought about some thin Delrin across the wood surface to help with sliding?
I went a tad bit bigger on mine. I have 6GA positive and neg running from my front battery to the back of my double cab. Positive goes through a breaker, then they both end up at a Blue Sea panel. Everything gets dealt out from there. I only wanted to do it once, so I decided to go bigger...

Ive wondered the same thing. Ive contacted a local ARE rep here in Houston and explained to him that I wanted to mount a tent to the top of the CX Topper. He told me that I should be fine. Asked him what the max load was for the roof of the CX and his reply back was that it would be safe with...
