    Hey everyone!

    My name's Shane and have been eyeballing the Tacoma for a few years now. I'm a video creator (for YouTube) and need a truck to get to remote locations for filming locations....so long story short...

    I'm a first-time new vehicle owner and purchased a brand new 2019 Magnetic Grey Tacoma TRD Off Road with the technology package/tonneau cover. It's like a luxury vehicle compared to anything I've previously owned.

    I but still I think I'll upgrade the tires to something more meaty first, tint the windows and try figuring out how to get my iphone mirrored to the "infotainment" system.

    I'd also like to somehow upgrade the bed of the truck to hold my individual tools securely, maybe something like rack mounts on the bed walls to hold my metal detectors / sluice boxes etc.

    I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions but just wanted to introduce myself first!

    -Shane

    That's an awesome looking truck! I think I may get a new Tacoma once my daily driver Tahoe dies.

    Hi Shane. Welcome to TW.

    It sounds like you are a perfect case to use a Diamondback bed cover. They are pricey but if you need to secure valuable work gear, there is nothing better. My coworker has one and it's awesome.

    Below is what it looks like, the photos are just some I found online.
