    We are now making our own Bed Support Brackets for 2nd & 3rd gen Tacos!

    Heavy loads, bed cages, rooftop tents, overlanding gear, and towing all put stress on your Tacoma’s bed sides—especially near the tailgate, where flexing and cracking are common issues over time. Built from 3/16” USA steel, these heavy-duty brackets reinforce the bed structure at a critical weak point, preventing flex and long-term damage.

    Features:
    • Strengthens the factory bed sides to prevent cracks & flex
    • Powder-coated matte black for corrosion resistance
    • Built-in tie-down points for securing gear, fridges, ice chests, bikes, and more
    • Simple install – bolts to existing lower mounts and a couple drilled holes
    • Fits all 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma beds

    Protect your investment & keep your bed solid for years to come. Get yours today for $99.99 – because repairs cost way more!

    They look terrific @Marlin Crawler. Any other shipping options coming? $30+ from Fresno to Santa Fe has me holding off for now.

    Thank you @4xdog, Did a shipping option for "One Rate" appear? This is a flat-rate option for 2-day air to anywhere to the lower 48-states, should be about $17 to ship? Please let us know so we can address any web site issues, appreciated!

    Edit: Just verified $17.92 for 2-day air to zip 87501. (At least you avoid sales tax which is about a 50% discount on shipping. :proposetoast:)

    Excellent! Thanks. I see exactly those options now.

    Yesterday all I could see was FedEx Express Saver and up.

    I appreciate that you've put together this kit with metric fasteners, in typical JIS sizing. Too many small fabricators put stuff together with inch-based fasteners, which means we take more tools to be able to cover ourselves or none at all for the particular item. Your approach is the way to go! :thumbsup:

    Great, thank you, and thank you for mentioning the hardware. It's nice to see there are still people out there who care about these details that Marlin instilled in us all here at MC! :hattip:


    Also, we had BigMike program-in a "Refresh Shipping Quote" button right above the shipping field to manually refresh stale or uncooperative rates. :thumbsup:
