EXTANG TONNEAU COVER INSTALL on the 2022 Toyota TACOMA TRD Sport | EASY DIY

[@danielleariano1442]

Wow that looks great! and almost leaves enough room to use the truck bed as a bedroom to use while going on a states trip to avoid paying for a hotel like a normal person!!

[@themandiyrin]

Haha there's definitely alot of room in the back for a mattress. So, this install saves you money on hotel trips and gives a roof over your head (or face) while sleeping 😂.

[@g7003041]

Note, tip..if you don't used it and always keep it folded all the time. The 3 foam stopped will create a small indent in a long run due to the weight of the tonneau cover stack against it and will create a small standing water there. Hope that helps

[@themandiyrin]

Definitely helps! Thank you I'll make sure to keep that in mind as I want this to last 👍🏽

[@scottadams1119]

Great video! 👍 Quick tip to anyone that follows... loosely attach the brackets to the rail inserts with the two screws before sliding the rail inserts into the rail. It will save you a lot of hassle as the screws are fairly short and harder to get started otherwise.

[@themandiyrin]

Thank you for watching! Appreciate it and the extra tip!

[@maurinem]

Great video! This looks like such a useful add-on!

[@themandiyrin]

Thank you! Yes it’s serving me well so far!

I installed the Xtang 2.0 on my new Tacoma about 6 weeks ago, love it for the gas mileage and protection of whatever is in the back .

[@themandiyrin]

I agree! It's so convenient to have adds a level of protection! How did you find the installation process? It was probably the fasted mod I've done in my Tacoma.

[@nathanfrisby3133]

@@themandiyrin I found it a very easy to install mod and I also installed the Bed Lights and switch to my SR5 as it came pre-wired but I ordered the products and installed them all in less than an hour by myself.

[@themandiyrin]

@@nathanfrisby3133 That's awesome, I haven't fully tracked the gas mileage difference yet but hoping it helps as these gas prices are ridiculous! I still need to buy and install bed lights. Any brand recommendations?

[@nathanfrisby3133]

@@themandiyrin I ordered from Amazon and they are several LED but mine OEM

[@hostilityy]

@@themandiyrin only 1 to 2 mpg difference and only at highway speeds between 55mph - 70mph. anything faster and it starts going downhill, anything slower and the tonneau is irrelevant.

[@peterphucphan6042]

Where can I buy those foam seals? Mine got lost :(

[@akosiDyeyEmzCeeh]

Nice one.. Was surprised to know that you're living in Peg too..

[@themandiyrin]

Thanks! Yes I live in peg as well. Got a Tacoma as well?

[@akosiDyeyEmzCeeh]

Hopefully this Mid of May, the trail edition bro . Can't wait actually 😂

[@themandiyrin]

@@akosiDyeyEmzCeeh Oh man that's exciting, Hope you get it soon bro! Maybe I'll see you around town!

[@akosiDyeyEmzCeeh]

Yes bro, hopefully it will arrive in the expected ETA.. So excited to see your tacoma along the way soon..

[@themandiyrin]

@@akosiDyeyEmzCeeh Appreciate it man! Maybe we can do a collab when you do your mods! I'm sure you're itching to get that beauty of taco that's coming your way!

[@nokianx400]

Thanks for the video. Does water leak especially on the tailgate ? Thanks again

[@themandiyrin]

Hi no problem glad to help! Luckily I have not had leaks. I really tightened the clamps thou. Have someone push the cover down when tightening so you can compress it more.

[@nokianx400]

@@themandiyrin i have another brand trifold cover, but when I tighten it esp3cially at the tailgatr, it pulls the rail up, I'm nervous it could get damaged.

[@themandiyrin]

Luckily there’s no leak at all on mine. I make sure I have it locked down at all times on all corners so it’s been good so far.

[@trentsage2778]

The link you provided for the cover says it fits a 2005-2016 will this still work for the new model tacomas like 2019 and up

[@themandiyrin]

I believe this is for the third gen amzn.to/3OncmBG

[@Jhimes21]

What are the dimensions of the foam pads for the header bar? I bought one second hand and the foam pads were not in the box.

[@themandiyrin]

Hi I'm not sure the exact dimensions but I'll check. Since it's foam it should be able to compress to work!

[@jasonparsons7950]

What about the cleats? Are they not usable after the cover install?

[@themandiyrin]

Thanks for watching my video. No the cleats are still usable you just have to reinstall it after.

[@RayW....]

Odd that the 5 foot cost more. I'm still getting one

[@themandiyrin]

Yes that’s weird the smaller version is more expensive but yes it’s a great buy regardless! Good luck on your install and thanks for checking out my channel.

[@brandonbrowning7612]

What's the distance from the front of the bed to the first clamp in the bed rail?

[@themandiyrin]

Hi Brandon, I will measure later today as I'm not with my truck. But essentially it's about an inch subtracted (measure from the end of the rubber weather stripping) from the end of the tunneau cover to the clamp location.

[@samsammy6210]

Can the rear tailgate pull down lever adjustable on how much tension is applied?

[@themandiyrin]

Hi Sam, I tried to adjust it as well but unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a way to do it.

[@samsammy6210]

@@themandiyrin Thank you. Almost thought it might.

[@ragnarwinther4984]

do you need to remove the header bar?

[@themandiyrin]

Hi thanks for watching my video. You just need to temporarily remove it to install the foam and place it back!

[@zzzzzsleeping]

Can I fold the bed cover in full 3 folds?

[@themandiyrin]

Hi no unfortunately only twice. If you want to do the full 3 consider something like the backflip brand

[@austinthao96]

Can you still use the tie down cleats?

[@themandiyrin]

Hi Austin, yes you can! Since they slide and move around you can adjust their locations!

[@grumpyjesse7842]

Where can I get the foam seal for the header bar .

[@themandiyrin]

Hi Mouchy, mine came with the kit. You can try to ask where you bought it from for it if it didn't came with one. You can try something like this also and just cut pieces to fit. amzn.to/3o8im3t

[@grumpyjesse7842]

@@themandiyrin I don’t remember where I bought it . I had to reuse my cover but couldn’t take out the foam from header

[@themandiyrin]

@@grumpyjesse7842 ahhh I see! I assume any weather stripping type to block the space would work so maybe try Amazon!

[@scottadams1119]

The foam seal inserts for the header bar aren't listed on Extang's website, but you can call the number on their website. The part number for the 3rd Gen Tacoma is 3200-1190. When I called they said they'd give me free shipping. Hope that helps!

[@jupark5066]

Have same cover for my taco, but it leaks..

[@themandiyrin]

Hi, thanks for watching my video! Luckily I have not experienced leaks on mine.
