Great information, and the camera work is getting better, thank you much.

Awesome write up, guys. I've been eyeballing these for mine for a little while now. Will pull the trigger soon!

Might be my next mod, ordered the pod lights from you guys not long ago and can’t wait to instal them! 😁

Great video. Thanks for posting.

Kinda like the cali raised led stiffeners on my 2014, but with a bottle opener. Nice.

Truck looks awesome!

I'm running the Victory 4x4 bed stiffeners on my 2d Gen Tacoma. Those of you asking if you should install them with the bed rack and stuff on (fully loaded) I don't believe it matters as the stiffeners are just 90 degree corner braces in the simplest form. As long as your bed walls are square to the bed floor it shouldn't matter.

So before I get a rooftop tent I should definitely get some of these?

TacoTwonz! Cool video and very helpful. Can you please tell me the length of the 16mm D-ring replacement bolt you used?!?

I don't forsee myself ever changing bed stiffeners BUT if someone does, wouldn't it be better to do so without the added weight on the bed (rack/rtt etc)?

More 4Runner videos please☺️👍

Just tried getting that type of stiffeners and I can't find that one. Really liked the look of that stiffeners

Where can I get that type of bed stiffeners or do they not make them anymore

Does it make a difference putting the new stiffeners on while there’s weight on the rack?

What about overlanding? I put a sport bar on my bed should I be thinking about these?

I wonder if these stiffners will cause an issue with the install of a flip or roll up bed cover?

Just ordered these thinking I got the ones you had. Sadly it doesn’t have the curved angle piece towards the top.

Sorry, this is an old video. We have updated the bed stiffeners. This one is a bit bulky.

Can you install it without drilling the holes by just using the 3 bolts already there?

The ones on your website and the link you give , does not show the exact same stiffeners. It does not go up as high 😒 If I order off your website , how do I know I will get the ones in video here ?

You guys gonna have the TRD PRO grille in stock soon?

If this truck had Total Chaos bed stiffners, why change and add more holes to the bed?

You need it, don't need it, whatever. All tho it is a nice piece to add, it does get in the way a lil bit especially when you need your truck for work, and need it to be flat and flush as much as possible. Though, you'd only need this if your bed is rusted to shit, and is flexing, as long as you got your tail gate It'll be total fine especially for a 16-20 taco... as thats where it gets most of its support. Though I'd definitely pick one up, if there is one a lot more slicker.

Nice. Just quick question what is the rack set up you use for the Ikamper. Cheers

Looking to get into overlanding, and stumbled upon this channel. Have a similar truck. A 2015 access cab tacoma. Had a couple of questions though. Is that uptop truss bed rack compatible with my model along with these stiffners?

So let me ask, how come you switch from total Chaos to these?? Just for the bottle opener? 😂

Damn out of stock. How much are these running?

You provided a link to R4T for the stiffeners - what that site shows is different than what we see you installing in this video - what happened since 5/13/20? I liked that fact that what I see you installing goes full height - R4T's current version does not.

I haul my can am outlander 570 quad on my 3rd gen short Bed a lot. Total weight is about 700 pounds. Should I install stiffeners? Also when loading the quad I ride up with ramps on my tailgate. With me and the quad it would be about 900 pounds on the tailgate. Is this bad? And also if so what can I do about it?

Can you still use the bed extender

@nooblessnoobster

4 жыл бұрын

If you want to use a bed extender, there are some things you have to do to make it work. The bed extenders are originally designed to be placed directly onto the bedside. What you can do is fab up a piece that bolts to the bed stiffeners and have the bed extender bolt to that new item. I've done that with the ATH stiffeners and the OEM extender. From the looks of it here, you could still find a way to bolt a bracket to these to achieve the same result.

Show some proof that beds will bow over time. I've only ever seen one example on a 2nd gen. Be better than just spreading fear to sell your products. There's still use for these as additional tie downs, and MAYBE they MAY help your bed from bowing but there's absolutely no proof that will happen with the weight of a topper or tent. Toyota engineers didn't cheap out of not putting on one 90 degree piece of metal that means the difference of a bowing and non-bowing bed.

I am with "HRB Emails" I see a lot of guys installing these, but zero evidence that these beds bow out. Show some pics..
