My first youtube video! Sharing my experience installing the Expedition Essentials powered accessory mount. Very solid, clean mounting system. Excited to add more accessories. Hope this helps! Enjoy Linked Below expeditionessentials.com/products/toyota-tacoma-3rd-gen-usb-powered-accessory-mount?_pos=2&_sid=182050b8a&_ss=r tacomabeast.com/collections/expedition-essentials/products/3rd-gen-usb-po...
I get mine tomorrow! So when I install I will use two 12's in the back and four 17's middle and front for six bolts total. Is that correct?
Yezir!
Any tips on the final alignment angle of the lights? Facing down, dead middle, or max facing up???
Great video! Thank you for your review. I'm stuck between the revolver X4s since you have easy access to the full bed or the cover you have. Have you ever felt limited in access due to the center mount?
Definitely gets in the way with bigger loads. But for the most part it has not been an issue. So if you plan to have larger items back there it's not ideal sometimes. I usually just take off the entire cover and put it on after with whatever i'm doing. Thanks for throwing comment!
Not sure if you’ve made your purchase yet but I bought the revolver cover and not only is the install quite surprisingly easy to mess up, the thing felt like it was going to break every time I opened or closed it. I sent it back for a refund as soon as I got it installed. This will definitely be superior to the revolver if those are the 2 you’re stuck between.
I have not, my 2024 tacoma is at the dealership after 3 weeks. Cracked evaporator box, seems to be a common issue. I may not get it back for a while so plenty of time to think about covers. I appreciate your input about the revolver. I'm in south florda so I'm also worried about the peeling that seems to be common with the revolver. It would be nice to access the bed with a rack on though.
What level is this... sport pro or max
@@alexanderwesterlund1 no we’re talking about the dynamic fog lights you can get a sport, which is less bright a pro and then max, which is super bright which one do you have?
@@Mason-fv1zlpros! Sorry
Yes, you did provide a positive buying influence.....will be ordering the Diamondback SE in a few days......thanks again for a short, but very sweet (and informative) video on this bad boy.
Much better than the actual expedition essentials video bc the Hotwire part with the purple and white wires were not easy to see in the other one.
Great video. Just purchased one for my Tacoma. Taking out the garage 😂
Nice! Looks good. What recovery or tow hook is that on passenger side?
I have one on 2021 Tacoma too. I can’t say if it’s the best, but I can say it’s the best for me. These are excellent bed covers.
Did you to disconnect the battery while swapping them or no?
No, it is not necessary. But definitely can if you feel the need.
10 fold better than the actual tacoma beast website video! Thank you.
Glad it could help! Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
Hey there! I notice you have your yeti strapped to the top. Can it not fit under the cover? What’s the clearance under the cover? I want to buy one but I need to be able to keep all my gear inside of it 😅
Hey, A Yeti tundra 65 will clear no problem, they are about 16” tall so it has some space. It was strapped mainly for show of what the cover can do if your bed is full and need to strap some things down. If I remember correctly it’s 19” to the top of the Tacoma bed side which is where the cover sits flush to. You would be safe with anything around 18.5” Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment!
@@alexanderwesterlund1 Definately helpful intel on the Yeti!
Good video -- thanks!
Nice! Even upgraded the headlights too? Where was the video? lol
It’s coming, lot of editing in that one. Thanks for the comment!
@@alexanderwesterlund1 Understandable. I upgraded the headlights on mine too, hopefully it didn’t took you four hours like me lol. I’ll be in the look out for more videos.
Nice I just ordered mine. Are these sport, or pro? I got the pros.
Pros! You’re going to love them.
Great Video, love the look of the TRD skid plate. And just out of curiosity what is your tire and suspension set up or is it stock size?
Stock suspension, tires are 265 70 R16. Thanks for the comment!
Will this fit the Sport Package?
Yes !
Curious if you heard back about the replacement weather stripping/seals from Diamondback? Looking at this option as well and greatly appreciate the video 🫡
I did! They sent some out no questions asked, I’ll be replacing them in the spring after one more winter season.
Where did you buy it?
Straight from Toyota on Black Friday!
Best place to purchase it is off Bamf auto.........online dealership from Ohio ....got mine for $329@@alexanderwesterlund1
Incredible!!
Looks like rust is beginning to develop on your LCA’s. Use WD-40 , a wire wheel brush and Upol anti-rust protective enamel as using the wire wheel brush may remove some of the oem finish.
Unfortunately midwest winters are brutal… I spray fluid film on everything prior to winter. However, the LCA’s are the first thing to hit any deep snow or long grass, taking off the barrier. It’s not an easy area to protect! Thank you for the idea! It’s an item on the future laundry list of things to upgrade. So I’m not worried about rust there at the moment! Thanks for the comment!
@@alexanderwesterlund1 Definitely agree that it’s not an easy area to protect! If you do a lot of off-road and don’t plan on upgrading your LCA’s ; I recommend getting R4T LCA’s skid plates. Sick rig!
Looks great! Makes me wince every time you started the bolts with an impact wrench though. Super easy way to strip out the factory threads if it doesn’t start right.
I agree, and I made sure they threaded in by hand before giving them the beans! Definitely would recommend chasing the threads of the rear inserts prior to install since they were caked up with debris. Thanks for the comment!
love the look of the new skid plate
Super helpful! Thank you so much!
This video saved my ass. Thanks for it my man!
We’ve all been there, thanks for the comment!
Where did you attach the larger wiring harness? I only saw the small harness attached to the back of the ss3 directly into the existing vehicle harness. There is a larger harness included in the box and im wonder where that goes
The larger harness is for the option to have amber backlight for a minimal light output. I opted to not install the harness I felt that I wouldn’t use it much or want it. But I may change my mind. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks, I ordered the elite series with the backlight and I'm struggling with the install. I ordered the seperate plug and play harness for the backlight option and I don't get how it all is supposed to come together and which wires connect to what
Nice! Do you know if a 2023 tacoma that doesn't have factory fog lights has the wiring in place for the upgrade?
I am not sure about that, best way to tell would be to look down in that area of your truck to see if there is one in place. Let me know if you see one! I’m curious myself. Should be just a two pin connector with a blank or cap down there if there is one!
I'm helping my son with the upgrade soon and am trying to plan what we'll need. I'll let you know.
@@x..Steve..x Awesome, if there is not a harness I’m sure someone somewhere sells one!
On the website there is a power level: sport, pro, & max. Which one did you install in your taco?
What is the amber backlight option also please?
Pro installed, and the amber backlight is linked up with your DRL/ parking lights and is only powered when those are on. It’s to match your DRL’s during the day to either become more visible/ also it just looks cool. When you turn on the fogs it is no longer powered and turns on fog lights. I did not install this option for mine.
Beautiful truck, What kind of tires do you have ?
Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs, thanks!
I have the same truck and just ordered this cover but i have to say I’m not happy about the amount of water that was pouring in. How wet is the inside after a major rainstorm?
Its tough to determine exactly, but there is definitely a small amount of leakage if it rains hard enough and at the right angle. Overall through 2 winters and a lot of rain i have never noticed anything worth worrying about. The water hose definitely exaggerates the water leak. Im sure it can be fixed and maybe the newer diamondbacks seal quality control is better. Keep in mind the seal gets worn after years of opening/closing and weather. But i believe they will send out a new one no questions asked. I hope you enjoy and get a lot of use out of yours! Thanks for the comment!
Love the cover. Is there a way to eliminate that small leak on either side of that center piece where the weather stripping pieces connect? I wonder if Diamondback could design that peice or that weatherstripping there such that a full length piece of stripping along the whole side can be used and not three pieces? Thoughts? Oh, and could the rear of the cab rooftop take the weight of one or two men sitting on it, the way that one man is sitting on the cooler at the end? Given that people can stand and sit on top of that cover, I could see some wanting to sit on the back edge of the cab.
I’m going to try to get a new seal and see if it’s a tighter fit. Maybe could put some RTV (sealant) in that area. In reference to the cab I would say you could sit 1 or 2 people on it yes I have leaned on it once or twice myself. And I’ve had 4-5 guys on the bed cover before with no issue!
this truck bed cover is definitely worth the investment!
Its way easier to come in from the wheel wells
I Absolutely recommend that. But this works fine if you’re good at working in tight spaces. (I work in aviation and my life is tight hard to reach spaces with no visibility on what you are doing) Only took about 5 min a side this way.
ss3 max with amber drl?
I got the pro’s but yes you can option both to get the amber DRL
happy to see your videos. thank you 🍻
oh wow!! the difference is wild!!
Where's the lube?!? Squirt some dielectric grease in those wiring connectors.
It's in ur azz
Woah! That difference is huge
Incredible!!
That's some pretty nifty pointing.

Nice profile pic 🫶
Will this work on my TRD Pro?
Should fit any 3rd gen 2016+
The real question is would it work on a Subaru Crosstrek with a CVT that's about to moon.
Wow Tacoma is sexy
That's a spicy looking Taco 🌮🌮
Can’t beat it!
this video was super helpful!! love how it looks when it’s installed!
Thank you!
