bed extender

looking for a bed extender new or used for a 2006 dbl cab 5'box! should I go through Toyota or is there something better aftermarket?

 

Check trdparts4u.com. They have great prices on new ones.

I remember seeing one or two in our B/S/T section.

And always...check craigslist. I found mine for $50.

 

its a shame you don't live in San Diego. Im selling mine for $40 without the hardware kit. A broken piece on it, but still very functional. Anyways, they do sell aftermarket extenders. You just need the right size.

 

thanks still searching

 

sometimes you can find one on your local Craigslist.com

 

thanks bro still searching

 

Was doing some research on these as my boss GAVE me a Westin Bed X-tender minus the correct mounting brackets.
(he gave me L-shaped instead of U-shaped)

What I found out is that:
Bed X-Tender is made by AMP Research and marketed by Bestop, Westin, Steel Horse, AMP, AND Toyota OEM.
Hence you can buy ANY of these brands and get exactly the SAME thing, often at a much reduced cost.
In fact, the SAME bed extender is sold for all mid-size pickups AND the Tundra. So you don't even have to specify Tacoma...

Check out this SITE is one place where you can order said accessories, but more importantly you can download the INSTALLATION manuals.

Finally you can buy the mounting kit el-cheapo at Amazon
$8.36 and eligible for Free shipping if you get your order over $25. Price subject to change of course. This is the route I am taking.

 

I bought an AMP bed extender in Black from autoanything.com, and have been happy with it so far...

 

you guys are awesome, i love this forum...haha

i'm in the same boat, trying to get a bed extender... i maybe getting a toyota one off craigslist next weekend for $125.. if that doesn't work out i'm going the westin route, thanks

 

If cost is concern, build your own for about $40. See my pics or the write-up in Cheap mods thread.

 

If you do get one remember to lock it down, someone jacked mine a few months ago. Probably the same jack ass that stole my spair.

 

I came up with a way to keep people from stealing the bed extender a few weeks ago and the total cost was $7.

Don't count out a Frontier bed extender if you can find one.. I took the one from my old 03 Frontier and put it in my 07 and it works great.

 

ya i bought mine from the dealership cause I wanted oem parts. It's just an AMP bed extedender with a toyota sticker on it.

 

I just got this one, and it will act as a divider as well. Im acutally in the process of doing a write up on it...It is $115.

Have you givin it the ole.
Ima make it move even if it means a broken foot test?

Im wondering how much it would take to move it once in place?
Ya know if I tied straps to it would it move when I tightened them?

 

I think that yes, it could move. It has clamps that go around the tailgate end...which doesnt hit the paint btw...and then the way that it attaches to the truck is kind of like cables like the tailgate uses..here a previous write up on it for right now...
http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/product-reviews/19168-review-versa-gate.html I dont think that its gonna hold stuff in like the tailgate, but would work fine for camping stuff, hauling mulch, etc. I got it to be able to haul more when I go camping.

 

Any update with the review? When can we expect it?

 

i just picked up a toyota bed extender, easy to install, works great, and you can lock it by running a cable lock thru the D-rings..

 

i have one from my old tundra its too long but im thinking about cutting it and using some pipe connectors, any ideas?
