Hey all. I'm new to the forums here, but was wondering if it'd be useful to have a spot for owners with long-beds. I have one myself and have noticed that a lot of the accessories out there at the moment are short-bed only, which is pretty annoying.

I'm sure that will improve over time as the new Tacos roll out and the aftermarket follows, but in the meantime I think this thread could be good place for long-bed owners to share links and other info on good long-bed products and such. Thoughts?

Picking up a 60+40 seat delete @ Goose Gear this weekend / they're gonna scan my long bed TH (w/spray-in bed liner) V3 kit + GFC V2 Pro. So specifically for that TH kit in the LB bed, they'll have a good digital volume profile. Will be back there in October/early November for prototype fitments.

GFC installs in October, will provide some beta once it's on the truck

Looking for laser cut bed rugs for the LB in the meantime. May end up doing it manually, GFC walls as well.

I made this early review of my Fas-Top purchase where of course you can get one for a shortie too. The point for a long bed is it gives me coverage and space I had with my van, versatility and there might be others with demands like mine. It is super helpful for the wide range of duties my pickup has to do that are a mix of work, personal and when our car is not available for me.

Do any of you know of a simple mat style bed liner? Still unresolved for me is a bed liner. In a past pickup I remember cutting an industrial mat to size and liked some aspects of that more than the often TPU plastic products I see, and it was easy to roll that up. On occasion it was nice to not step on the ribs.

Otherwise long beds rule. If I was guiding again or needed tight spaces I'd get another 4Runner. In my long hard fight to find the right long bed over and over my Sienna held what those short beds can't. When in personal transport or longer work trips I like the ride of long wheelbase too.

Right on man:)
I’ve also had a few frustrations with long bed accessories. Mostly just the OEM bed mat. But initially with some bed caps too (which I’ve still yet to buy).
But I’ll go ahead and add that it if it’s coupled with the double cab it has a really bad turning radius! Haha but I want to sleep back there so the six foot bed was a must.
Regarding mats, the ones available that I’ve found aren’t rubber. I’m pretty close to buying a rubber mat from Home Depot and cutting it to size. They have them available with similar texturing to the oem. But yeah super frustrating they don’t have them available. Probably release them a week after I buy the 4x8 roll and cut my own haha

Anyone know the status of the OEM LB mats? I saw reference to them being a unicorn in another post. Seems pretty unacceptable that these aren't widely available at this point. I'm new to the Taco life, but are LB owners always the red-headed stepchildren? Come on, Toyota...

My LB mat has been on backorder at the dealer since June 24th. Biggest dealer in the country, but the parts manager says their region is the last to get stocked with parts. I just got a cheap Amazon mat while I'm waiting.
