FYI: Fenders not the same size on SB/LB

Just an FYI I discovered today on a 2013 Tacoma: Measured at the bottom of the fenders, a short bed measures about 46" and a long bed measures about 48". I knew there was more length in front of the wheel well, but figured the fender/wheel well itself was the same size. Nope. however, the front fender flares measured the same.
So if someone is looking for replacement fender flares for the bed, a shortbed set will not fit on a long bed. Maybe everyone already knew this, but I found it interesting.

 

Interesting! Thanks for sharing

 

already new this. it has been posted before. I don’t think it was a thread, just a post in a thread. I don’t remember if the measurements were posted or not though.


but a thread like this maybe very helpful to someone someday.

 

Are we talking about the front fenders or the bed sides?

 

Should be the fenders, if he's only measuring a 2" difference it can't be bedsides.

EDIT: whoops read that wrong, time to go to bed.

 

bed side finder flares.

 

Yeah it is the bed fender flares. The measurement I took was only for comparison to demonstrate short bed flares won't fit on a long bed.

 

Hmmm, interesting.
