Total Chaos Bed Stiffeners! One of the best investment so far!

He drives an Inferno double cab, armored with Mobtown. @tweakit88

 

Very cool man!

Really like those sliders you have, i want to get some so bad but its so pricey here.

One thing at a time, just got the borla exhaust ive been wanting for almost 2 years.

 

Come on down to wheeling events and win some at the raffles!

 

Hmmm. I'm always watching for Inferno trucks. Somehow must have missed his. What did he do to it?

 

Oh man, that sounds fantastic! I should go offroad more often, ha!

 

CV axle binding now, dented driveshaft, busted rear pinion flange, a cut tire, pinion seal dust cover destroyed, and did something to the steering rack from what I remember. It's a doozy!

 

I'm wondering if it's just me, but has anyone else noticed an uneven gap between the tailgait and rear quarterpanel from an otherwise new tacoma? Mine isn't that bad, but noticable upon close inspection

 

Holy smokes!

All trucks have small gaps. It's gonna happen.

 

I was one of the guys that tackled 16. We all came away with some fun stuff lol.

 

This was our group, all Mobtown guys

 

I would had to jump in with you and ride Matt! lol My truck just ain't set up for black trails, unless I want to leave truck parts on the trail!

 

I saw some of the Carnage from that run, just missed the inferno Taco lol



Uh good thing we had those bed stiffeners, eh?

 

Thats hard to do at windrock. Most of the trails are miles long and end in a different area of the park. But there are plenty of trails there your truck can do with very little issue

 

I dont have bed stiffeners

 

Mine is setup to run greens and blues and that's about it! lol Low stress wheeling.

 

If I can run blues that are on the wild side of mild, you deff can. Just make sure you've got sliders and skids

 

New here to Tacomas, long time jeep guy. Im not a huge fan at all of the Cali Raised, but in terms of design the Total Chaos wins hands down. At least they look like some thought and purpose went into producing them. The way they hug the bed interior works better for me. I fell like the other brands would get in the way of almost everything I put in the bed. I want to be able to slide my stuff off.

 

I’m not trying to be a troll here but it’s going to appear that way. For those that want to get or think they need the bed stiffeners, is there any actual evidence that they help out? I’m not talking about adding a tie down point, I’m talking about the bed integrity itself. I can’t find much evidence at all to support claims that they are needed at all. And those that have had problems it’s often attributed to gross negligence. I’m all about spending money on my Taco, I’ve spent more than a penny or two on mods. I just would like to cut through the opinions about what’s needed. We all know that there are multiple aftermarket gizmo suppliers that would love to take your money. If you’re cool with that, so be it. Long story short is, can anybody prove they are actually needed? I would like to spend money on what is actually needed.

 

Let the haters as well as the supporters begin!

 

I've only seen hearsay about the sheet metal in the bed bending. As I now have a 180lb RTT and soon have bed bars to mount it, I would like some stiffeners for that extra bit of security. Now, the TC stiffeners look great, but I think would just be overkill for my purposes. I've got the Rago fab versions pinned for later. Lower profile, so it won't interfere with using the bed as much. Also, they cost less, which is nice. I have no idea what I'd do with 8 mounting points...
