Tacoma Lean? Or?

Hey Taco people. So I’m doing the Single Cab Conversion and notice one the pass panel looks perfect but the driver one is a little lifted from the back kinda slanted or leaning. Is this the Taco lean? Or something else my OCD driving me crazy. The Driver panel on the pic needs the bottom bracket bolted on but it still looks the same

 

Could be Taco lean, is your gas tank full??

 

half

 

In the 2nd picture, the bed looks “twisted”?
The taco lean is usually the whole left (drivers) side is lower.

 

Could I put a rubber spacer or something to fix this, i hate how it looks.

 

Possibly.
But you need to know how the bolt and collar work in conjunction with the bed.
This thread will help understand how the bed is mounted.

Frame?

 

what do i look for

 

Do the 3rd gen bedsides and fenders bolt on easily?

 

I agree. The bed looks twisted to me. OP measure corner to corner and make sure your square.

 

you have to do some cutting

 

If there is a twist in the frame, it could cause the bed to be twisted. Measurements with the bed off. Was it hit?

 

Why was the bed replaced in the first place?

If from a rear end accident, then your frame is likely bent. You would need a body shop to set up and measure your frame to know for sure.

 

It’s not being replaced its a 2005 Bed with 2020 Bed Panels

 

Got it. To me the bed looks twisted.

Did you have that gap before doing the bedside swap? Any rear end accidents?

The gap between the cab and bed side could be measured at top and bottom. In the pics it looks symmetrical on the passenger side. Driver side, it looks wide at the bottom and tight at the top.
