BuiltRight Industries Product Line Up

OUTFIT YOUR TOYOTA TACOMA WITH BUILTRIGHT!​

Known for reliability, versatility, and it’s pure grit; the Toyota Tacoma has been a beloved truck for over 25 years. Little do some know, the Tacoma has a serious cult-like following. Spend five minutes on TacomaWorld.com and you’ll understand what I mean. Spend ten minutes in the truck and you’ll decide to either love the mid-size truck or loathe it. Love it for its smaller yet capable size; loathe it for its lack of being a full-size truck – cough, cough, Tundra. I was the former. Ever since college I had wanted one even though I never truly had a need for a truck. In 2016, I pulled the trigger on a 3rd generation TRD Off Road and it was a love affair I will never forget. After following hundreds of social media accounts I found myself pulled into the overlanding community. It was a perfect fit for my interests in the outdoors and cars. Unfortunately, life dealt me a hand that led me to sell my beloved Ruby (my mom named her) and I have since felt a void I never anticipated.



Fast forward three years, I responded to a job posting and found myself a part of the wonderful and exciting BuiltRight Industries team. And, guess what? We have a 2020 Tacoma TRD Off Road! My life is complete again. While BuiltRight’s support is heavy on American truck brands, we offer great products for the Tacoma.

In this post I am going to walk you through each of these products, installation, and some ways to better improve this mid-size truck’s utility.



BEDSIDE RACK SYSTEM
BuiltRight Industries prides itself on making the best mounting solutions for trucks, and specifically our patented MOLLE Panel Bedside Rack System. Not only does it allow you to mount to the bedside, but it alleviates any need to engage use of the stock rail system, which can be used for other purposes simultaneously.

In the case of the Tacoma, the BuiltRight Industries bedside rack system is a super clean and simple install. No drilling is required as all stock hardware is used to mount the panels and only three tools are needed: 5/32" allen wrench, T30 torx screw driver, and a T55 torx screw driver. Installation is as simple as unscrewing the bolts for the stock rails, sliding the BuiltRight Industries bedside panel behind the rail, and reinstalling the stock bolts. The Cab Wall panels follow the same process; however, the the stock T55 bed bolts have to be loosened to add BuiltRight Industries L-brackets to support the cab wall panels.

I did my first install this week and installation of the bedside panels took about an hour. Not too shabby!



VELCRO TECH PANEL
The interior of the Tacoma is already equipped with ample storage and cubbies, but if you find yourself needing even more organization, our Velcro Tech Panels are perfect for the job. There are not many places in the Tacoma to attach these, but two of the most sensible spots are the lower backs of the front seats as seen in the picture below. The strength of the velcro to the carpet surface on the seats is strong enough to attach a variety of tools or pouches. Chris currently has the Tacoma tech panels outfitted with gloves, a knife, and a flashlight.



MOLLE POUCHES
The Tacoma has cubbies both behind and under the back seats where our MOLLE Pouches are perfect for keeping your gear organized and clean. Not to mention, these pouches are made from a splash proof and ultra durable material that can easily be adapted for use in the truck bed too. Our team loves the versatility and size of these pouches. Matty uses the larger pouch to house his first aid kit. Matt H. uses two large pouches to store jumper cables and tie down straps in the truck bed.



I hope after reading this article you catch the bug to organize your Tacoma BuiltRight style! Let me know if you have any questions about our products.

And just so you know, our development of products for the Toyota Tacoma is still underway. We hope to have a few more products available to you be the end of the year. Stay tuned!



Yours truly,
Leah

Looks great! Really nice-looking products!

How about this idea, have you considered a larger style "trasharoo" style pouch/bag that can bolt to the inside of the bed rails? I'm always thinking about some type of trash container in the bed. Thanks!

 

I like that idea!

 

Love that. We are always looking for ideas!

 

This was a blog post I wrote for our website…

 

Great post! Will look at your products.

 

Thank you! Let me know if you have questions!

 

Here’s our install guide:

girl power!!

I love your products, def will look into them

 

Awesome! Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Do the drivers side racks have a way to fasten at the bottom or will they vibrate and drive me crazy?

 

They do not bolt at the bottom on the drivers side but they do have a rubber spacer that absorbs vibration. They are very sturdy on there. I have personally driven our truck with lots of stuff in the bed and attached to the panels with no notice of vibration.

 

Just FYI - this idea sparked an hour long brainstorm session in the office. I think we’re really going to pursue this idea thread. This is exactly why I love this community.

 

….and a question that I’m sure will be asked so I’ll just go for it, any forum discount?

Edit: a trasharoo that could attach to your side panels and small enough to sit right above the wheel well would be sweet. I plan on picking up your passenger side panel to mount a fire extinguisher, first aid, small axe, and the trash bag would top it all off. I have windoors on my shell and to pop the door open and just reach anything along that side would be money…

 

Love that. The quick fist mounts are great for mounting all of that too.

 

Never really understood the reason forum members needed 50 post before selling on TW when any vendor can create an account here and basically do the same thing.

 

I’ve been messaging to get vendor status. Still waiting to hear from them. From a customer service, marketing and product development standpoint it helps to be active on these forums. I have a personal account as well from when I had my 2016 TRD OR.

 

Great! Please make it stay below the bed, so it's not visible, and let it somehow fasten to the OEM bed rail, so we don't need the side panels. I like the idea of it sitting above the wheel well, but not necessary.

 

Good feedback. For sure will see if we can prototype something soon.

 

Any plans to have an optional cutout for the back 1x6 slots for those of us who haul 4x8ply, etc?
