    Installed Total Chaos bed stiffereners just now. Took less than an hour. I installed pass side first because it had less gap with tailgate closed. Pretty straight forward, good directions. Then the drivers side. I noticed 1/4" larger gap on this side. After tightening down the 2 lower bolts, I worked my way up from bottom on new drill holes and bolts. I could see the bed get sucked in as I did this. Huge difference in new gaps. Im confident about installing my new topper next week now. Not to mention, the extra strap points are sweet. Does not interfere with stock bedmat. Easy job, thanks TC.20180805_092540.jpg 20180805_092544.jpg 20180805_092553.jpg 20180805_092621.jpg 20180805_092651.jpg

    Thank You! I finally purchased it. I’ve been really wanting to get the set you received and installed but haven’t been able to get myself to spend that much. With this price, you can’t beat it. Greatly appreciate you sharing

    To be honest I do not know much Relentless off road products and it look like they make great products also. The only visual different is the RCI has the bent wing prop nut hold down for slightly quicker release. Otherwise they look similar and have a similar price point.

    Reason I bought the RCI version is I have their rock sliders, and several pieces of their under-truck armor. They make great products and customer service is great so I like staying with the same maker of aftermarket Tacoma components.

    Looks great on the truck. I’m considering their cab rack but my I ask what the PITA part(s) was about the install?

    5100s/OME 888s. Dakar leaf pack. Total Chaos UCAs. DeMello Sliders. BAMF Recessed Grille. Prinsu Cabrack and Toprack.
    The access cab doesn’t have the threads built into the roof along the rails so you have to drill through the roof and add the installation nuts. You have a double cab so the threads will already be there. Should be a relatively easy install for you.

    That’s good to know. Yeah. I’ve said this before but sometimes it’s not the items that are the most expensive that are the best. They are the most expensive for the name, not the quality of the product. I’m glad I haven’t purchased the other kit then. Thank You!

    I've been looking for a better way to carry my bikes that wasn't a bulky annoying option, and came up with this. It works pretty great. Let me know what you think.

    Parts:
    Amazon: Toyota Genuine Accessories PT278-35100-BH Truck Bed Header Rail
    Amazon: Top Line AB2600 Add-A-Bike Clamp
    Amazon: RockyMounts LoBall Track Locking Truck Mount

    I mounted the header bar using extra strength 3m tape. also drilled holes into the tonneau and screwed and epoxied in some plastic sheetrock anchors to screw the header down with. Feels pretty damn solid.
