    Does anyone know what brand of bedsides these are? Found on a classified ad but the seller doesn't know anything about them, other than they are for a 2nd gen tacoScreenshot_20240215-070331.png Screenshot_20240215-070747.png

    It looks like a round tail light, which I have never seen before on Tacoma bedsides. They also have a sharper angle on the front side of the wheel opening than other brands

    It looks Dodge/Ramish to me.

    Yeah I agree they do look similar to 3rd gen bedsides but with more aggressive wheel wells

    Former 2nd gen Dakota owner here, I thought the same thing! The 3rd gen Dakota tails have round shapes, but the bed outline still doesn't have that circular cut.

    They could just be prototypes or 1 ofs. The body lines generally seem right save for the hard angles. Definitely have the trophy truck style flare. But you can see the forward section of the wheel well has also been cut at some point for clearance I assume. The stock Tacoma 2nd gen tail light does have the very minimal circular bulge in the center where the main brake light is, which looks to lineup with the glass, albeit not so drastic as that fiberglass shaping but it also looks like these might have been made to run over the OEM light, or to be used with an aftermarket tail light setup. That’s if they are indeed for a 2nd gen. They could just be made as 2nd gen type glass but for an older gen Toyota.
