BillieBars from 3rd gen compatible w/ 4th gen Tacoma perfectly!

SweetDave · Feb 16, 2024

As a note, the BillieBars from my ‘22 fit PERFECTLY on the ‘24. I have not put the RTT on yet, but it does appear that it will ride slightly higher than on the ‘22, whereas the ‘22 had it just at the roofline it seems like this’ll have it a couple-few inches above that, due to the deeper bed on the ‘24. I’ll update when I put it on!

Good to see some crossover with 3rd gen parts. We already know the wheels situation will not be but if bed products mostly are that opens up a lot more possibilities out the gate.

RGk, a large manufacturer of after-market dress-up products for Tacoma trucks, has actually reached out to me, and they are sending a mobile unit to my house next week to CAD model, measure, and photograph my truck so they can get products to market soon. In return, I'll be receiving gratis products to showcase and serve as a "market ambassador" for the company. I'll keep the company private for now, but they currently have a fine line of interior-dressing products that I dig, and I look forward to them fabricating MY truck FIRST OFF!

That's awesome, good score! A nice perk for being an early adopter. Post it up when you can disclose more info it really helps the rest of us with the wait...

Very nice to see there might be some things that carry over from the 3rd Gen.

Anyone try a shell/topper yet?

I tried the hard and soft tonneau cover and not even close.

Ahh, bummer. Probably no shell compatibility either then. Thanks for responding

No problem, the biggest problem, was where the bed meets the cab, totally new design. Also the back part of the bed angles inward. When they put the 3rd generation cover on it also looked like it wasn't square to the box, the front is wider than the back. Sorry, I should have got pictures of what that looked like.
