A Girl's Bed liner woes

I just bought a 2008 Tacoma crew cab from a slightly shady used car salesman. It was a huge risk but I paid cash and just last week, I was beyond relieved when my trusted mechanics gave it a clean bill of health! I'm a horse girl and I'm moving out of state in a few months. My truck has, what I've been told, is a factory bed liner. However, the tie downs have been ripped from the actual plastic. My mechanic suggested that a previous owner had an after market liner and then just ripped it out vs uninstalling it. I need to be able to secure my cargo as I move and I'm hoping to get some advice on what might work best for moving and then in the long term (picking up hay and 100° heat).

 

The entire bed of the 2nd gen Tacoma is plastic...

Welcome to TW. Post a pic, I'm confused about your problem.

 

welcome

Post a pic of the issue

If you need more tie down points for cargo http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/28533-installed-d-rings-bed-pics.html

 

I'm confused about your gender.

You're a "horse girl" but you claim to be a male in your profile?

 

I was just about to say the same thing.
Do you have the rail mounted tie downs? Like this one

 

I'd attach tie downs to the bed mounting hardware.

 

Confused, post pictures of truck bed and you, thanks.

 

of the truck only.

 

Gender identity is a huge problem for people these days.

OP you bought a truck from a shady person and didn't have it check out first. That makes sense.

 

I'm all for seeing pics of the bed area/tiedowns. And also of a male horse girl. Just sayin.

 

Hahaha, yep & what was the original question again ??

 

I think we have been "trolled"...poorly at that.

 

I think its a legit post. If she made an account to ask a question problem skimped over gender part of profile or some shit.


Anyways, sounds like OP is asking where to get new bed rails, and also as Homer clarified...the Tacoma has a composite bed....no such thing as a bedliner for 2nd gen Tacomas. And as far as I have seen, besides a junkyard..no place to buy new bed rails for factory cleats to fit into as dealers, nor parts catalogue list the rails for sale individually...unless you somehow get a dealer to custom order that stuff (is it even possible?)

A custom Utili-trac install or airline track, whatever you wanna do is probably best bet....but won't be easy to install without bed removed unless using rivnuts or something.

 

LOL...i remember when I first got my truck and thought "cool, I got bed liner!" Then proceeded to sling parts of a torn down deck into the bed and after that, paid no mind as I dragged boards with nails across the bed as I emptied the rear.

what a cruel joke to play on me Toyota!

 

dearest people who don't contribute shit to the thread but decide profile details are more important:

Does it really fucking matter?

 

Omg, I'm so sorry my gender confused you! I apologize deeply! Lol Here's 2 pictures of what I was trying to describe. Go easy on me, gentlemen, I am not a car enthusiast and this is my very first truck.

 

Yea Doug!!!

 

^^^^^^^This! Doesn't matter if it's a girl or guy.........

 

Wow. Looks like they tried to lift the bed up with the cleats and they all pulled out. No clue how to fix that except for some new rails maybe?
