I agree. I'm ocd enough to want to measure thus Trailhunter bed length and width against a regular off road or Sport. My gut says they are the same, but blazing new ground with the Trailhunter trim, I wantcto be sure before dropping $$ on the tonneau cover.

For those of you that have installed the oem tonneau cover, do your trucks have the bed rail on the front of the bed? Does it just stay as installed or does it move down too?

Front rail stays where it's at. The side rails are relocated down about an inch with the rails/brackets for the cover.

This video details it pretty much exactly, minus a few differences.

Since the oem is supposed to be the bakflip mx4, I found these installation instructions here:
https://shop.tonneaucovered.com/bakflip-mx4-install/

EDIT - these instructions do not appear to address the 2024!!!!!

There's one with the basic instructions and an addendum for the Tacoma. I haven't read thru them yet, but do have the oem cover on order. I removed the Trailhunter ARB bar this morning.

If anyone that's already installed the oem cover wants to take a glance and report back, that would be much appreciated!

Ok, picked up my oem tonneau cover and I do have the oem instructions! My local dealer had no issues printing a. Ooy. Glad to scan them. If I can upload a pdf file here, I'll do so after I've installed mine today.

Installation was very easy.

Here's the Toyota installation instructions for the OEM tonneau cover.

Question for those of you that have installed a cover. How, if at all, are you protecting the cover drain tubes? Do you just let them droop, do you secure them as out of the way to the holes with something, or perhaps enclose them in something to provide a little protection? I've got enough leftover wiring loom that would provide at least some protection to put around the tubes.

Just for clarification, the prop bars look a bit different than the BAKFLIP MX4. They resemble the Lomax Stance a bit more, in my opinion. Not super important but something I thought somebody might be considering if they are looking for other bed covers.

Also,
I was emailed the new installation manual for the BAKFLIP MX4 and it looks like there will be no removal of the OEM rails. The new lock clamps go directly on the rail according to the install manual. Mine should ship by 7/12 so I'll let everyone know if it was that simple.

I looking at conicelli.com for the Pt954-35240 bed cover, which has it at $982.35 + SHIPPING. Has anyone heard of that site and know if they're legit? Only other place someone recommended was autoparts.tustin.toyota.com oem parts at slight discounts. The cover at that site is $1017.75 +SHIPPING.

Ok, pics of how the Trailhunter ARB bar bolts into the factory rails. I'm inclined to just remove the bar in favor of the oem tonneau cover. The one thing, and only thing I think Toyota overlooked for offroaders was secure storage for camping gear. Anything now available means removal of the ARB bar.

The decked system may solve the storage problem. Not sure how it would fit with the compressor.

Thought about that briefly, but have gone with the tonneau cover a d sold the bar.
