    Hi,

    From my first post in new members section:

    "I'm a new member but have been reading and learning from everyone here for months. Purchased a nearly new Tacoma about 2 weeks ago and so far, am very happy with it (the recent drop in oil prices doesn't hurt!).
    My truck included a hood deflector, bed mat and bed divider. I was going to add a Bakflip G2 tonneau yesterday after much consideration but was convinced by retailer to go with Undercover Flex as it's pretty much identical and saved me $100+.

    I almost cancelled when they told me the oem rails would be covered and rendered useless by either tonneau but decided to get it anyways. Last night I studied how the oem cargo clips and bed divider connect and confirmed that neither will work anymore. I need the security of the cover and will get rid of the divider if I have to."

    -------

    Has anyone out there managed to modify or replace the L-shaped rail brackets that support the divider, to work with flush mount tonneau covers?

    Apologies if this should be posted elsewhere. Forgive me; I'm new here!

    Corey

    P.S. I'm also considering the TRD Supercharger but it's very expensive where I live and I found it strange that my Toyota dealer has never installed one before. My purpose would be for towing my 23', 3800 lb travel trailer.
