Trail Edition Hangout/Confirmed Fit Tonneau Covers

I thought I'd ask this here among Trail Edition folks - I'm considering moving to an OEM TRD PRO grill and TSS cover. I was planning on installing it myself, but the parts guy I usually work with (and has been very good to deal with) says there would be a $375 TSS recalibration necessary after installation. Anyone hear about this? I definitely want to keep OEM performance and that last $375 might be the nail in the coffin for what was already going to be an expensive mod.

I'm aware of a few good aftermarket options that are cheaper, but I have a thing for OEM when it's available.

 

I did it myself and did no “calibration” nor have I heard of any other guys mentioning that. I’ve also had no problems with check engine lights fwiw.

 

Lol!
I'm right there with you!

 

Well folks lack of time and another thread here just inspired me to join you guys with the tonneau covers. Just ordered a Gator for my truck. Also in the works I am building a diy multi purpose bed rack/soft topper frame out of threaded pipe and fittings. The plan is to have a rack that will store under the back seat or in the trail box in a few pieces that can be assembled quickly anywhere anytime and have a snap on cover to keep cargo dry that will not fit under the tonneau or a rack to carry watercraft, ladders, lumber, etc. It will give me the ability to keep my headache rack and still have a dry place to sleep in the bed if I want too. Just cut the iron for my diy sliders/cat shield a few days ago and the cold galvanizing compound is on the way so hopefully before Winter those will be on. A nice 250lbs on the belly of the beast will be a great improvement. Hopefully I can get the suspension limit strap brackets fabbed and installed over the Winter. Having SPC UCA's has put a kink in my tire plan. Don't think 285/75 18 will fit. Trying to find some 40 offset rims I like. They don't exist! 25 Methods seem like about the only good option since SCS Ray 10's are hard to get. The problem I see with a 25 offset is then you start hitting the mud flaps, etc. Pretty sure I can make a 40 work but the American Racing rim has a bunch of decorative features that would just be a PITA to clean, so I dunno. Maybe gonna roll with a 275/70 18 Hercules AT and keep the stock forged rims. That would be best for my usage anyway. Just a little update on my rig, happy Fall y'all! You folks up North, keep your stick on the ice this Winter!

 

Alright, another confirmation on the Gator srx bed cover. Nice fit, quality, and price! Also just got some flares ordered. EAG in satin black. $170, seems like a nice low profile flare to finish out the wheel wells and should help keep the truck cleaner and also help with car doors, shopping carts, dummies, etc. Pics coming soon!!

 

That's pretty much my situation, only really need something once in a blue moon. However, since I now have a pretty water resistant bed, I'm considering a false floor under my bed mat, truck needs a stronger bed floor anyway and I could keep some low profile gear and or tools in there, out of sight, out of mind. Another project!!

 

You may want to look at a soft topper. Only reason I didn't buy 1 is because I'm building my own version, want a stout frame that can also be a rack.

 

Installed the Truxedo Sentry CT tonneau, I'm thinking I'm going to like it. Easy to install, and seems solid. The only fear is the latch, seems like that would be the weak spot, but for my purposes, it will work great!

 

Not that I've noticed, and since it mounts using the rail system as opposed to clamping to the lip of the bed.
I did have a similar issue with the Undercover tri-fold I had on my last truck.
I really like this cover.

They supply a stick-on seal, I lightly sanded the spray-on liner, washed the area, then cleaned it with alcohol. Then the roll has a rubber seal up front as well, so it sits on top of the stick-on.

It seems to work good so far, even the last few days here, we've had heavy rain and 60 mph winds, the bed stayed dry.

 

Just ordered a set of rims for Bounty.
18x9 XD Heist satin black +30. Flares arrived today. Gonna have to sell the stock rims now. If anyone here wants a shot at them I will make you a sweet deal as soon as my KMC's arrive. Ship or pickup. PM serious inquiries. Clean like new condition with caps.

 

Rim and diy sliders/side impact armor.

 

Just install a Diamondback se.

 

New shoes, flares, and rainguards.

 

Sorry for the late response. Haven’t been on in awhile. Got mine directly from Weather Tech. Super easy install. Been using them since 2003 on different trucks. Have never had any issues of them coming off in car wash etc. They come with a thin strip of tape that you peel off before putting them in the window channel. Pop them in place and close the window. They recommend keeping the windows up for 24 hours so they have that pressure in the channel.

 

Has anyone installed a camper shell with these boxes?

 

Have not, but why do you ask?

 

I took mine out right before having the cap installed. I figured they might not fit, and would be hard to access. I did leave the tie down rails installed, but I will probably remove those too.

The install shop had to remove the little plastic end pieces from the tie down rails to clear the clamps. I think the boxes will probably fit with the camper shell.

 

If you have the bed tie down system the boxes should fit. Looking at my setup/08 with bed rails and boxes, the boxes only push out a quarter of an inch.

Can you post up photos of what shell you have and some of the attachments to the upper bed rails?

 

ARE Z series

 

Beautiful truck man!

 

Did you buy it new? What do those Z series run now?

 

Hello,

I have a 2021 White Tundra Trail Edition 4x4. Bought it used but my steering wheel lights, tow haul lights, gear shifter lights on the driver side don't work... I've taken it to 3 dealers here and they said it's just the model that doesn't have functioning lights. I need to prove them wrong because i've seen youtube reviews but they are all in Canada. Anybody help?

Here is a 40 second video of me explaining the situation. The dealerships i've visited keep giving me the run around and they are Toyota Dealerships in Houston.

$2800 out the door. Carpet, light, fold door front window.

 

Thanks for the quote. Prices have definitely gone up since I bought my leer R for my Tacoma

 

That's good to know; I'd been looking at my local dealer but hadn't gotten a quote yet.

 

Anyone install a Fumoto drain valve? I bought one as I'm preparing for my second oil change, but now I'm wondering whether or not I should put it on. I have the TRD skid plate and am just looking for ways to make oil changes a little smoother. It seems relatively protected up there and I'm not taking it off road.

 

That is a beautiful truck! This gives me confidence to go the cap route.
