    That was the one that I was thinking of getting. I have a bike, fork mount attached to the back rail by the window. Do you happen to have pictures of how the flex sits on the bed rails?

    You cannot use the side rails because the flex rails mount directly to them. I think the front rail may not be accessible because of the last fold. All the tri folds that I have seen will prevent you from using the front rail because of the last section of the tonneau. You can remove the tonneau in less than 5 minutes. There are only two hand tighten nuts that hold it to the truck. The front rail will be fully accessible when the tonneau is removed. There is a you tube video showing all of this. Just do a search.

    Quick question. I noticed the tailgate on the Tacoma is about an inch lower than side rails...is that an issue with the G4?

    OK got my G 4 installed this past weekend yes front and tailgate are lower than side rails but with a little tinkering can be fixed the back issues not an issue as long as you have it set right on the tailgate other than that I would suggest tailgate lock which I'm going to invest in a Dynolock adding some pipe insulation to front at cab to seal better will let you know how it goes.
