    Hey TacomaWorld,

    My brother designs and manufactures a bed side advertising kit called Bedfin. The premise is that you can advertise you company, brand, events, etc, without adversely affecting the use of your truck bed.

    https://www.bedfin.com/

    I realize this probably won't appeal to most TacomaWorld users, but perhaps some of you own your own company, be it landscaping, manufacturing, retail, etc and would like to find a unique and versatile way to advertise your product. One of the main benefits, over traditional truck advertising, like wraps and graphics, is that it's easily changeable and removable. Maybe you want to advertise seasonal products or sales. Or maybe your work truck is also your personal truck and you don't always want to have a banner on your rig.

    Anyhow, I'm just posting here to gauge interest in the Tacoma crowd. Currently, my brother only makes these for the full size pickup crowd, but assuming there was enough interest, I'd work with him to mock up and manufacture a product that's custom fitted to our trucks.

    Please let me know your thoughts, good or bad. I have pretty thick skin and I'm used to the TW mob, so feel free to speak your mind.

    Reminds me of the ugly porn ads all over vegas.

    They would have to bolt onto the rail system.

    Also, you could put a top on it and a back window and make it into a cap.

    I bet these panels could display a pretty big...

















    TRD Pro logo.

    Can they hold a RTT? - Typical TW question

    Agreed with the bed rail attachment, though: more easily removable (if work truck is personal truck).

    Hey, whatever you guys choose to "advertise" is your business. ;)

    I completely understand why this isn't a "mod" that you do for looks. It's functional advertising. There's a reason those places in Vegas choose this method... It's effective.

    This product provides a solution to business problem, a solution that doesn't look like something Joe Blow put together in his garage.

    I know he currently has a contractor rack attachment for his current line of products, but it's designed with ladders in mind. If there was any real demand, I'm sure it could be designed to support that type of load.
