Pricey, yes, but worth every cent
I was reluctant for the price, but after installing these, they are very durable and the KEY seller to me was the mostly flat base. They came with everything I needed to do the job and the abundance of Stickers was also nice. My bedliner rolls right back over top of it like it did before. This was the ONLY one I found in searching for bed stiffeners that had that aspect. it has extra tie downs like the rest, but also has a tab with holes for a cb antenna if you want. I'll use it as an extra tie down since I have a Diamondback cover on mine. Well worth it to me.

Total Chaos awesome product!
Awesome Materials! Fits perfectly on my 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Crew Double Cab, short bed 5ft. Installment was easy. All hardwares came with package. Few cool decals. It gets the job done.

Solid Solid Solid.
Great instructions, installed in about 30 minutes. Tailgate closes easier and feels smoother, and this is a great kit to have in preparation for a camper & Roof top tent. Just remember to remove any paint if you're going to use the CB antenna mount.

Great quality!
Love these Bed Stiffeners. They are beefy, sturdy just an outright quality product.

Good design and we'll made
Does what it's supposed to do. I have a cap on my truck, a roof rack on top of that and I off-road. Low profile and unobtrusive compared to competing designs. Relatively easy to install on a stock truck. I'd done some previous modifications in my truck bed and I had to deal with those in the installation process.

works great
Put these on because I had small cracks starting on the edge of the bed. The cracks have stopped spreading and now the camper shell doesn't come open by its self and more.

NOT MADE FOR 2016+
I saw that this product ad said Tacomas 05-15 but after reading the Q&A's and the reviews saying it fit 2017 I bought it.See my picture, the top hole is to use factory bolt and hole. The bracket does not reach that high. If you are alright with this you can drill the 3 side holes and bolt it up without using the top connection but I wanted a perfect fit so I returned and bought the correct one.Part number for this (05-15) is TCS-48675. The proper part number for 2016+ is TCS-48676

Fits good just don't rush
Item arrived, went out with all the tools in question, slapped them in my 2015 rig in about 45 minutes, including time to extract my broken bolt. Don't over torque the top bolt, I learned the hard way. The hardest part I had was getting the top nut and bolt to line up because at least on my 2015 there is a bracket in the tail light cavity that sits in front blocking view.
