Bed Stiffener Questions

Over the years, several companies or members have sold Tacoma bed stiffeners for the taligate area.

My truck has an AMP bed extender. By the looks of how the bed stiffeners fit, they will interfere with the AMP bed extender mounts and how it folds into the bed.

Also, regarding bed stiffeners, is one brand preferred and are they still available.

 

I have ATH ones and like them a lot. Not sure about your bed extender question though. Ive never used one. If I'm needing the extra room and have to ride with my tailgate down, whatever is back there is strapped down good.

 

Not sure about bed extender fitment but I can take a picture if that will help.

I have total chaos stiffeners and I like them. I'm sure there are others that are also made well.

 

I was checking installed photos at each website. Pretty certain the Bed Extender will not work with these unless other changes are made.

Will look into it more as time permits.

Well there you have it. Problem solved.

 

Somewhat as I expected. The AMP bed extender mount must be shimmed toward the center of the truck.

Now to decide on which bed stiffeners and then make it work.

 

I’m jumping in here at the end and haven’t full read through all the tread but, if you have a local fab guy then maybe he can make you some stiffeners that would work with the extender.
