    Can somebody please send me a picture of a Tacoma 95-00 that has a 61.5x20 inch tool box in the truck that has a plastic bedliner in as well? I'm looking to get a box but I have a bedliner in and am not sure if it'll fit. Iv been told they will with the bedliner still in but I would just like to get a better look at one with a box and a bedliner in. If not can anyone give me anymore advice on whether they will fit with a bedliner in?

    You're over thinking how much space will be eaten up by the bed liner. Like i mentioned in your other thread there is almost 6 inches of clearance and its over 17" wide as well. Liners wont eat up hardly any space as far as box fitment is concerned. Thats why the bottom of the box is smaller, stepped in on all sides below the top portion that sets on the bed rails.


    I did have that particular box in my other taco that did and still does have the liner aswell, there were no fitment issues whatsoever...

    I get what your saying but from the back of my truck to the wheel wells is about 16 inches a little less the box is 16.5 so it's just hard for me to imagine it would fit even with the wedged box. The one I want I would have to order online so I don't want to order it and it not fit because it would be a hassle sending it back

    I would agree with Bry838, I purchased a box from lowes and had a plastic bedliner in as well. Didnt feel like cuting up the liner so i just took it out and put the box in. the liner would have zero chance of blocking the box from going into the bed.

    If you have doubts about the fitment, why not post up some pics of your bed w/liner and a link to the box you want? I'm sure with visuals you will probably get the same answers from other.

    Ah i see why you're worried now, my bad!! I run standard cabs and must have more room back there....

    Well wait, i shouldnt, we all have the same beds except the double cabs. Yeah you just have a longer wheel base than i, so our beds have exactly the same dimensions, same bed.

    So why do you have so little room there? Keep in mind the box wont set on the bed! So if you're measuring from where the wheel well first starts to rise that wont be in the way. All boxes are different of course but most have several inches of space underneath, i have atleast 6" under there from the bed to bottom of box, PLUS you gain inches from the wedged corners!

    So unless that bedbox sets on the bed itself you wont have fitment issues I'll guarantee it! If it were to not fit, having a bedliner or not would make no difference whether it would go in or not. They just dont eat up significant amounts of room to mess with box fitment. Heck even on my old 94 "pickup" i had a liner that didnt form to the bedsides, so like the walls were just straight down from the bed rails to bed bottom, didnt step in after the bed rail, make sence? I have such a hard time putting stuff like this into words, lol. But that liner lost a bit of corgo space cause of that, not hardly any but a few square inches. Even with that iner, box fitment was nowhere near impeded. Also again that was with the box i still currently have that is even wider...well deeper we'll call it, than the one you're eye ballin.

    Yes the box I want is about 4 or 5 inches from the bottom of the bed it doesn't sit all the way in the bed. I'm just a very paranoid person when it comes to my truck lol Iv been googling taxomas with boxes in and they seem to fit good I just want to make sure before I drop 300 dollars on something like that. And when I measured I was measuring from the top of the wheel wells where the bottom of the box I want would come out near. With all the information Iv received from you and others Iv asked I don't see why it wouldn't fit like your saying but again I'm just that type of paranoid person lol. Iv got couple buddies who have tacomas with boxes so I'm going to look at theirs and make some measurements before I buy
