- Thanks for checking out this episode of Tackett Garage. This time we are installing a Toyota Bed Extender in our 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport. This way we can load our Dirt Bikes and camping stuff more securely. Make sure to Like and subscribe for more tacoma installs and adventures!
How do you remove it when it comes time to load up the bikes? Also what is the length of the bed at the shortest and longest point with the extender?
I also didn't realize it had the assembly it does and now here I am 😂
Yeah it kinda sneaks up on you.lol. Hope we were able to help!
What are the inside dimensions now?
Have you installed any bed stiffeners with this? I am also running into the problem of wanting stiffeners and have the bed extender. I was reading on Tacoma world some people have done it but with the amp extender. I don’t know if that’s similar to the oem.
I wanted to do bed stiffeners but I never did get any. Most of the ones I saw in person went right where the pivot for the Toyota extender went.
Love the elco
Thanks! Me too.
Great vid, bud! BTW, ya think is there any way to still be able to install bed stiffeners if modified?
Thanks, me and a buddy talked about how to mod some bed stiffeners in there a lot but couldn’t come up with a way to do it.
Thanks for the video, I'm waiting on mine to get here. In your experience have you only strapped your bikes to the brushed aluminum D-loops at the front of the bed? I am a bit uncertain how strong those are to hold our 300lb bikes, so I'm now also considering mounting two more heavy duty D loop rivets through the bottom of the truck bed.
I usually had the front tied down like you said and I would strap the rear ends down on n either side to the back loops and together I n the middle. Was always good for us. Probably not a bad idea to put beefier hooks in the back
Nice video, the only concern I have with that center punch if you hit it too hard you will probably put a small dimple/dent in the metal since those side covers are so freaking cheap.
Thanks, yeah have to be careful
First!!!!! From htown supportibg this channel keep the videos coming i miggt do the same to my raptor
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it! The extender definitely helped loading up enough for camping.
Is your truck a long bed?
Yes it was
put strap up to center bar it will hold down better
Ok, I try that next time I load up. Thanks for the tip!
Great work. Where can I download those instructions? thank you!
Thanks, I appreciate it. The instructions actually came with the assembly from Toyota that I got. I imagine someone has posted them on a Tacoma forum or Facebook page somewhere but I’m not sure where to look exactly.
Will this work with a soft trifold tonneau cover? Or will it block the locking handles?
I would think it would clear, but if have not had one of those covers to know for sure.
Can 2×4s fit?
Depending on length they would.
Good video! Three questions …
1. Is that the short box (5 foot)?
2. Is it possible to know what those bikes are, so I can look up the length of them compared to mine?
3. If you took out the camping stuff, do you think you could fit a 3rd bike in there?
Thanks.
Thanks! It’s a long bed Tacoma 6 ft, the big bike is a kx450 and the small bike is a ttr 125. Maybe on the third bike if a couple are small bikes but I don’t think 3 full size would.
@@tackettgarage4982 thanks
Do you have a 5ft or 6ft bed?
It’s a long bed so 6 ft. This would be even more needed on a short bed, but I don’t know if you could get a bike in the bike like we do.
5ft bed bike won’t fit..
