Northern Virginia Roll Call

Whether you need them is really up to you, but the bedsides are known to start flexing outward over time esp with bed racks, shells, etc. plus these give you bitchin tie down points, antenna tabs, and a bottle opener

165$!!? Jesus christ

 

no bottle opener, but goes all the way to the top of the bedside..

TACOMA REAR CHANNEL BED STIFFENERS (2005-2015)

And they can be here on tuesday...

 

I will help you install, if im not camping. You dont get to use the corner D-ring, but there are plenty of other places to attach things. And they are powdercoated, so no need to spend time painting

 

Will it work with my cb antenna mount?

 

no. It will replace it/mount in the same place. You could sell that, or give it to someone like @Superman910

 

Another thing to consider which is why I went with the @At The Helm bed stiffeners over the Total Chaos ones (and this depends on any future plans you may or may not have) but some rear facing pod light brackets (C4 Fab) or CB antenna mounts (BAMF) utilize those top 2 bolts which results in the Total Chaos brackets being in the way.

 

Dang. I really like that thing

 

yea, thats what @Darkgoatracer has now..

 

I had an @Shmellmopwho cb antenna mount there, but took it off and gave it to @Lots2Learn58 when I mounted the TC bed stiffeners. I have my antenna mounted there, and the cable run behind a cubby

 

In my case I have a cap on the truck and my BAMF CB mount will be coming out the back like this....





Thus why the Total Chaos ones don't work for me.

 

I saw a couple people in the team cadence shirts! I didnt say Hi though... my baby was crying like it was the end of the fucking world.

 

At the helm bed stiffeners it is I guess. Wonder how long those will take to get

 

Well they're on the way

 

What's the deal with this air pump filter replacement?

 

Seems to most commonly affect '12's but also a few '13,'14 & '15's. Basically the foam "filter" can break up over time and pieces get sucked into the impeller ending up with a $1500 problem. I finally got around to replacing the foam on mine a few weeks ago.

 

12+ problems

 

@At The Helm has them in stock?
