    St.Germain, those pics are from an OEM (Toyota) bed extender or a different brand?

    Your pics clarified all. Thanks for the time to take those pics at this hour!
    Looks like you have the OEM tonneau cover too, as is exactly the combination that I was talking about. Very informative. Hey you even have the crates too! :thumbsup:

    Added oem running boards,sil protectors,trd shifter,tailgate raised inserts, Toyota exhaust tip,husky liners front and rear lund soft trifold tonneau cover,US Army Soldier for Life rear slider glass decal
    Money wise the extender and the divider cost about the same very little difference.I went with the ratchet cargo bar which I can adjust to my needs ,and best of all affordable.

    I have the Bakflip. Which sits lower on the bed then the Factory tonneau cover and I can use the bed extender no problem.

    Sorry for my ignorance, what is the backflip? It will come with the bed extender? Or need to be bought apart? Would you mind to post a pic? Thanks in advance!

    Yes, this is the “other half” of the reason why the bed extender is so popular and useful! I think I’m gonna get it.

    Ok. Now it makes sense! :thumbsup: Thanks for your clarification. I'll take a look.

    Bungee them bad daddy's down. I don't have the bed extendeder on my current tacoma but I did on my 15, and when I picture the situation you describe bungee cords seem like a cheap fixer.

    Or this is just a really bad suggestion.

    Used to do that! Then one time, I had to stop hard on the highway for some idiot parked right in the middle lane with no lights on at night in a disabled car...and I heard those crates slam up against the front of the bed so hard, I thought for sure I was going to have a big split in the composite panel. The bungees didn't stand a chance against 3 drop hitches and a 25 foot tow chain :rofl:

    I lucked out though...and want to prevent it from happening again!

    That sounds like a spooky moment. Did you have the bed extender in your bed?
