    Hardest part of the install for me was getting the damn taillights off. And sacking up to drill holes in my new truck.

    I bought over the phone from ORW. TC isn’t taking direct orders for these at the moment.

    I plan on installing before I get my bed spray linered. I assume there aren’t any issues if the stiffeners are covered in liner as well?

    You should probably ask the shop that is going to do the work. They may have issues with doing the surface prep on the installed stiffeners because of the (relatively) complicated shapes. My bed bolts were covered; added a little time to the installation.

    Ordered some on Amazon just now, I already noticed some shenanigans/flex from installing a wilco bed rack and tiregate. Should alleviate my concerns for sure.

    I wasn't sure if I needed these, but for piece of mind I went for it. Install was easy and smooth, alleviated my bed flex from the tailgate and will provide more support for the rack. Not perfect slightly tilted at different angles after install, but miniscle heh. Thank you for a great product!

    Follow up, driving I can already feel that the bed of the truck has less flex and feels better overall.

    Is this going to be a problem? It's about 1/16th" off from the other side and I swear, I measured over and over. I think the d ring flange may have been a little different in some manner than the right one. My OCD is kicking in.

    My 2016 Tacoma came with these. Do you think they would fit a 2005 Tundra? I am looking to switch to a first gen.
