Looking to do 8020 here as well, which brackets did you get to mount to the side of the extrusion? Did they fit the spacing right?
Also, how did you end up mounting the solar panels? Would you do anything differently now?
Trying to order all the parts I need so when I go pick up the gfc in a few months I can hook up power and immediately go on a remote work trip 
I used these plates. The top set of holes line up perfectly with the holes in the end of the 8020. https://8020.net/4519.html
I used the z brackets that came with my solar panel kit and bolted to the bottom of the 8020. Then bolted the other side of the bracket to the bottom of the solar panels. The top of the solar panels sit at least 1/2" below the top of the 8020 so if i slide a ladder or kayak along the top of the 8020 rack it never touches the top of the solar panel. I’m happy with the setup. 
Perfect, exactly what I needed. Thank you!
If you were to do it differently, what bracket would you have used? I took a look through all of the 10 series external fasteners and none of the ones that you could use 4 bolts have 7/8 spacing vertically between the bolts.
Has your setup been solid so far?
I’d just get a blank bracket and drill the holes myself. They’ve been solid but all I have up there is a solar panel and occasionally a couple pairs of skis.
Curious how that 1up rack is working for you? Like you, I have an aftermarket bumper with the receiver behind the license plate. I just purchased a 1up rack, and am planning to modify my bumper with a lower receiver, so the tailgate doesn’t hit the rack when lowered.
Do you have that problem? Do you have to take your rack off before dropping the tailgate? Curious to hear if you’ve come up with any creative solutions. Thanks!
Hey Mattyd, I have the same body Silverado and looking at a GFC & decked system, curious as to how much vertical clearance you have from top of decked system to underside of GFC bed platform. I appreciate the info in advance.
Total clearance is 32”. From the top of the Decked platform to the bottom of the cushion.
Thanks for the response Mattyd
I am a big fan of the 1up rack. I had it before I got the 2016 Tacoma and the GFC. The pelfreybilt bumper came on the Tacoma when I got it in September 2020. I could not lower my tailgate without taking the 1up rack off. I was using a drop hitch to fix that problem https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Roadmaster/RO24FR.html but recently I got a new hitch like this: https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Roadmaster/RO24FR.html with the new draw-tite installed my tailgate (and backup camera) clear the 1up if positioned correctly. However at this point I have not been able to find a way to attach the rear of the hitch to the bumper so there is a plate with two open bolt holes just hanging out there. I am not pulling anything big at this point only using it for bike rack and wouldn’t trust it with much more than a light raft trailer. I attached some dealer tag magnets to my license plate and with both of them on there the plate has not come off even on super bumpy off road. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XZD2BRO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also I got some plastic coated cable, cable clamps, and a drawer knob from the home store and made a pull string on the 1up that I highly recommend, especially when you put a 3rd tray on like I have.
One more question if you don’t mind 
Just ordered all of the 8020 parts for the rack and some 1/4-20 nuts from gzilla. Ordering a solar panel now with the z brackets and wondering what you used to bolt onto the 8020 side of the z bracket? maybe this https://8020.net/3382.html with these? https://8020.net/3064.html
Yes the one from grainger would work better for the bracket in the middle at the rear of the solar panels.The roof bows up slightly in that area but I still have the original 3" matress setup.It may not be an issue with the 2" mattress setup.
Excellent, just ordered the grainger ones. I will have the 2 inch mattress but I’m adding an inch of foam so good to know it will bow out.
Thanks again, much appreciated. Now to hope everything fits together when I get out to Montana
My current setup with the VRNCLR Storage spaceframe bag and Top Shelf. Love them! Hope to build a passenger side drawer one day to condense the Front Runner Boxes. If you have any recommendations (not Goose Gear) or advice for building a drawer system let me know
I love it. I want the specs lol. I’m already set on the lil b bumper. Going with 3’ lift and 285/75/17. Still somewhat undecided on suspension but I’m narrowing it down. What I want to know is how is the high clearance rear with the 5’ bed and the GFC? I’m kind of hating the 5’ bed at the moment but I’m hoping the GFC will remedy some of that.
I’ve built 4 different drawer/platform setups in the back of friends’ rigs and I’m really taking my time on mine. I’m thinking basic bench on one side (obviously passenger side for the lean) with a drawer inside. Nothing on the other side as I want the standing room and storage space. Also not sure the 33"/34" tire will fit in the spare slot. I’d be down to brainstorm with ya though. I dig homemade bed setups and there doesn’t seem to be many resources for GFC bed setups out there.
Lol what is the fuel economy on the Taco? Probably worse than my Raptor 
Sweet rig man!
