Installing my Christmas gift from my wife and kids! RealTruck’s BAK Revolver X4ts tonneau cover.

My Pros:
-Metal-backed, marine grade vinyl cover.
-Doesn’t occupy bed space like retractable options.
-Compact and lower profile when rolled up, opposed to trifold options.
-Flush, clean profile when closed.
-Easy, self-install for even for a junior grade wrench money like myself.
-Built in T-Slot Rails
My Cons:
-Little gaps in the corners can let some water in.
-Wouldn’t call it water tight, but for the most part I feel it will keep your gear dry.

They actually wrapped the whole box and stuck “under” the tree 🎄

Got all the parts needed and nothing damaged from shipment

Our Beds have ‘bend’ at the cab so I notched the weather stripping to accommodate it.

Uses existing OEM rails in truck bed.

Hardware to clamp to bed frame is black, which is a nice touch.

Passenger side rail installed.

Ready to unroll the cover. Inexplicably, the instructions were rolled up in this thing. 🤷‍♂️

‘Rolled up against the cab in “Open” position. Durning install I rolled and unrolled the cover several times to get the best fit.

T-Rails have caps to give them a nice finished look.

All done!

BONUS! The cover doesn’t interfere with the port covers in the truck bed!

Found this while doing some research on tonneau covers and read through your install post as the X4TS is one of the ones I've been looking at recently. Just wanted to thank you for an excellent, detailed write-up. The pics you provided are very helpful. Your truck looks really good----nice job.

I'm loving the look of this TRD Pro exhaust. Really nice touch. Currently on sale for right under $600 at autoparts/ToyotaofDecatur.com(fairly local to me so no shipping). I don't even have my truck yet so I'm going to wait on this mod but I really like it. I'll likely chop the tailpipe somewhere between the resonator and where it bells out on the end (at least for now).

BUILD UPDATE: Diligent search... and you can find a great deal.
Toyota TRD "Performance" Exhaust (Part# PT226-35241-02).
Probably less restrictive than the stock exhaust.

Much better look over the stock stump-tapping low hanger.

OEM Performance Exhaust vs OEM Stock Exhaust

Can you confirm that PT226-35241-02 is just for the cat-back pipe shown and that it bolts right up after the muffler with nothing else needed?

Are you waiting on a long bed or short bed? I have a long bed Sport and would love to install this pipe on mine...but just can't confirm it fits and it is damn exspensive.

I picked up my truck on May 28th. Its a short bed. This pipe can be had for less than $600 around a holiday when sale are going on. Its still expensive though. I'd like to do it but Im still trying to figure out all the tech on this truck.... I had a '23 TRD OR premium and the tech differences between it and this '25 TRD OR P is substantial.
