Maverick Bed Rails

[diggz313]

Got my Maverick 2 weeks ago and immediately wanted to make it my own. I noticed that the Lariat did not have the bed rails so I scan the QR code and immediately start looking up the parts needed, but they are hard to come by. Also with the bed liner, silver/gold channel strut, I didn't think it would look great

That's what I came across a beat up Tacoma on a lot and saw the bed rails! I immediately thought that I could easily cut them down to size, drill a couple holes and voila!

Just wanted to share this on here for any searching for bed rails. Tacoma 05-19 bed rails work great, they just need to be trimmed and 2 of the 3 holes drilled out to line up. The purest might not like Toyota parts on a Ford, but there was also an entire thread about buying a Kia rear view auto dimming mirror to be installed on Mavericks soooooo...

I'll have some pics on here tomorrow!

Innovation requires pics! Anyways awesome, that is the really basic principal of customization. Love it.

Here's a couple pics of the fitment.

How far apart are the pre-drilled holes in the beds walls?

using the hole above the cut out as center hole, hole towards front of the vehicle is 8 1/4 inches, hole towards rear is 10 1/8 inches

That looks nice, like it was made for it.

What finish did you apply to the dividers? They look great.

Ordered some Tacoma rails thanks to this post! What length did you end up cutting them to?

looks like about 31.5 inches, but more importantly I cut it down only on one end and just past the notch so that the end cap still clips and catches

Can you help me with the part number I'm supposed to be looking for? I searched Tacoma Bed Rails and a bunch of other terms but all I keep getting are racks and whatnot. I'm interested in this vs the DIY version of just using metal channel and eye bolt things.
