I had been researching all of the available bed stiffener options out there and these TC Bed Stiffeners fit the bill. They go all the way up the bed channel which adds more rigidness to the frame and Total Chaos customer service is top-notch. The bed stiffeners use some existing hardware, however, 2 holes will need to be drilled in order to install these. The benefits outweigh the negatives on this, as after the install these look like they came on from the factory.Why would you need these? The Toyota Tacoma bed is made out of composite, and can be prone to cracking or bending causing taillight fitment issues as well as possible tailgate alignment issues.Who are these for?If you do any serious off-roading, run-heavy loads in your bed, (roof top tent) these are the perfect solution for some cheap insurance. I would much rather shell out the cost for these instead of replacing an entire bed.As an added bonus they have additional tie-down points, as well as mounts for a whip antenna. They also sit flush, so if you are running an OEM bed mat, you won't have any issues with the mat sitting flush.
