Bed cubby - left side - SPORT - MIA

Guys.

I got storage space envy.

Can I add a cubby to the left side?

 

Me too, but I think it would require cutting the bed which I dont want to do.

 

Oh I thought it was a Sport thing. 2019 thing!

 

I don't mind cutting btw.

 

They removed the cubby for 2019 for some reason. Id be happy to measure the hole for mine as I currently have it out installing OBA. It's not a hard cut but I would suggest wearing gloves, long sleeves, and eye protection. Its a composite material so the fibers and dust are quite itchy on the skin and can be harmful to your eyes.

 

Awesome. What cutter would be best?

 

Cost cutting eliminated it after 2018, can be added to 2019 or 2020 if you want to cut the bed.

 

An air powered body saw would be ideal.

 

Naturally I was completely ignorant of this when I bought the truck. ::doh:

 

At least it's not difficult to add if you have all the correct measurements, but would have been nice if they hadn't eliminated it.

 

How many parts is it and does Toyota sell them? Maybe junkyard but I doubt that.

Anyone have an exploded view with PN's?

 

There is a thread on here somewhere where it was added, can't remember if the guy got new or JY parts. I believe it is the box itself, the door, and the little ring that goes around along with the screws.

 

Expensive! https://parts.toyota.com/a/Toyota_2...6727671/REAR-BODY-SIDE-PANEL/674470-6554.html

 

There a number of junkyard 5 lugs regular cab have the cubby if you want to go that route

 

2nd Gen uses the same cubby so that would expand your search of JY vehicles

 

Check Ebay. Search for tacoma bed storage. A bunch show up.

 

Heard we also lost the cubbies above the wheel wells after a certain year, which I use even more often. Great place for a 9mm while sleeping back there

 

They were quite useful, they were eliminated some time during the 2nd Gen run, my 2008 had them but my 2015 did not.

 

Dangit!
