I kind of want to lock down the spreadsheet because every other time I look at it, rows are all moved around and formatting/columns are removed/deleted, et al…

You finally got yours? Congrats! Let's see some photos!
Also, you've got a 1st gen Xtracab, so it may vary a little bit with the Deaver Stage 1 vs @czukie 's 2nd gen Access Cab. I'm not sure how the weight ratio front to rear and total weight changed between gens.
I should have been more clear. When I got the 2nd gen, it had stock leaves with the Icon 3-leaf AAL and the OEM overload spring. This was not enough with the drifter and a week full of gear and I was utilizing the bump stops way too much in Canyonlands.
I replaced those with the Dobinsons 112s...
Yes, I have the Dobinsons 112 leaf springs on my double cab short bed:
Tacoma Single Cab / Double Cab SB - 2.1" 880-1210lb Constant Load"

I figure my "empty"...
Powder coating seems overkill unless you leave the roof bare and go with white to reduce temps. It seems mostly a vanity option to get a color that matches better.
I have a bare aluminum Drifter and there is no “oxidation” that is visible. This DRifter lives in Colorado and occasionally sees...
To confirm, you don't have anything in hand currently, correct?
I'm mostly wondering if the Goose Gear system is on hand ready to sell right now or if this is just transferring the paid order to a new person.
I was on this trip with my (different) '15 supercharged Tacoma with a Vagabond Drifter (smaller version).
I was quite jealous of the F150 with Nomad setup and all of the room available compared to my mid-size, short bed truck. As with all Vagabond Drifter/Nomads, the quality is top notch, which...

Well, he wasn't wrong about the 1-2 foot drops. They were right behind me in this photo above the passenger mirror (I didn't get a photo of the drop itself as I peeked and sent it). Picking the right line, a stock 4x4 Toyota has no problems - even if you don't have sliders.
@THALLIHAN - You are best off getting this Tundra in SoCal. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2006-toyota-tundra-4wd-double-cab-camburg-long-travel-flippac-socal.194658/
I wish you the best of luck. Tacoma's in and around California are severely marked up, especially the 4x4 and 4-door Double Cabs. That, plus trying to find the super-rare short-bed version of the Flippac and hoping that someone will sell it as a package? I had exactly what you are looking for...
I am thinking about removing my tent in order to spray it down with Sunbrella UV protectant/water repellent. If you remember how you got your tent off, could you describe the process? When I looked at mine, it seems like I would have to peel off glued pieces of the tent material at the corners...
