Hey! We're BillieBars, founded in 2020, we make tonneau cover compatible bed racks and tailgate replacements. We're known for our high quality, American Made products and over the top customer support. More about our bed racks and tailgates below. We started the company during the Covid shutdown, when Bill realized that his $4000 mountain bike wasn't safe on a traditional bike hitch. At the time, he was driving a 3rd gen Tacoma with the OEM trifold cover. We started with a low profile 5" rack and from there we iterated with a few different heights, a wide array of accessories for various purposes - Roof Top Tents, Bikes, Cargo, and Recovery, and then eventually our tailgates. We discovered our tailgates when Bill was designing flush bed stiffeners, known as our Stiffy's (available for 2nd/3rd Gen Tacoma's). When the factory tailgate wouldn't close with the Stiffy's installed, Bill realized he needed to make a different tailgate. Bed Racks Low Profile Bed Rack - 5" or 8" - compatible with most trifolds, rollups, and retractable covers capable of holding 400 lbs dynamic, and 800 lbs static allows you to keep your RTT or cargo below cab height crossbars easily removable for full bed access (leave brackets installed) Bed Racks for Retrax XR tonneau cover (or something similar with integrated t slots) 6", 11", 17" and 24" height options brackets bolt directly in the t slot on the cover Tailgates Direct replacement for your Tacoma's factory tailgate provides a flat, non slip surface with integrated cup holders - comprised of marine grade flooring (close celled) over an aluminum base for the 24+ Tacoma's we have a non cup option, and a cup option (requires trimming of the factory tailgate) available in our stock, black over charcoal (trim) with BillieBars American Flag logo also available in Custom colors - over 61 colors to choose from - route or laser etch your favorite slogan or company logo (shown below) If you have any questions about our products, give us a shout @ support@billiebars.com or call 1-800-963-6849 best, Nate Co-Owner

So, has anyone had an issue with how low their exhaust hangs on the new Tacoma? I smacked the crud outta mine while off roading in Moab UT. It’s crazy how much clearance the rear bumpers have, but yet the exhaust hangs so low.
