Where did you buy those? I don’t see them listed at https://runnin4tacos.com/collections/4g-tacoma-bed-accessoriesYeah I also have the R4T no drill bed stiffeners. I'm running a rack and tent so I figured why not just in case.
Yeah I painted them to match the blue I have in other areas.
Any chance you can take a picture of the top since it is cropped out of this picture? It appears to use the same bolts as my tonneau cover latch point. Thanks in advance.I put some of Up top's "no drill" bed stiffiners on, seems like it got rid of some flex. That said...not sure it's a major issue unless you have a lot of weight over the bed. I figured at worst i'd get some nice tie down points. Up top's tie downs are stainless which is nice.
Ive heard in sone cases with a lot of wheeling the beds can flex enough to cause damage over a very long period of time but i'm not really an expert so I'm really not sure honestly.
I will say the rear end of the truck feels noticeably stiffer in the rear which I like in everyday driving. Feels even more like a 4Runner now which was my last vehicle. Flexing out on the trail feels stiffer in a good way as well. This leads me to believe there was for sure some flext in that bed, enough to damage it? Definitely not, but it does seem to be a nice improvement to over all ride quality.
If you have the extra cash I say it's a "why not" but for sure not a "need"
Thank you. Yea, I’ll double check my Extang Solid Fold ALX mounts tomorrow, but I’m sure that stiffner uses the same bolts and holes.Sure thing dude
