Advanced Fiberglass 2nd Gen

has anyone had any experience with bedside flares from advanced fiberglass? I have a 2014 taco and these bedsides are kinda kicking my a**

 

What are you having a problem with? Mine went on super easy. A lot easier than the front fenders.

 

I have like almost a 1” gap between the top of my tail light and the fender itself. I took a step away until tomorrow but I can send a pic in the morning. But that gap is driving me nuts.

 

Mine were pretty easy as well, and I wasn’t able to get the bed off. Take lots of pics of the problem!

 

Like this gap? But an inch gap?

 

Yupp! Just wider

 

Mine were a lot closer. Are you sure everything else is seated properly?

 

Oh man, does the other bedside line up alright? Biggest issue I have is the tail light housing does stick out a bit from the fiberglass but the tail lights themselves still line up with the tailgate.

How well does the bottom of the housing line up with the fiberglass, is it an inch out as well?

 

Yeah. I didn’t bolt too much down because the gap is just that bad.

 

Well the bottom is pretty good. It’s just the top that’s off. Once I have the tail light bolted in on the sides, it just doesn’t line up correctly with the fender.

 

This is the drivers side.

 

This is the drivers side.

 

Holy crap! That’s definitely not right. So I take it you can either get those pins inserted or the 2 bolts that mount the tail light but not both at the same time?

Take some pics showing more of the body panel from all angles from further back. I’m thinking that either the entire panel is an inch forward towards the cab, there’s some extra material behind the light that you could cut off, or ADV made a really badly shaped panel.

 

I’ll take some more pics but yeah I can get the two tail light bolts in but the pins don’t even touch the fiberglass itself because it doesn’t even come out enough.

 

Here’s some comparison pics for you. Notice how the tail light still lines up perfectly with the tailgate, but the panel itself is recessed a bit.

 

Yeah see I wouldn’t really trip over that, especially understanding that fiberglass won’t be perfect but this was just so off that I was really lost for a bit.

 

That’s my understanding with fiberglass so it doesn’t bother me at all but yeah, we really need to figure out what’s going on with yours for sure

 

I remember I had to trim/ bash a little of my truck to get them to fit. This area

 

Yupp i

Yupp I trimmed there too because my tailgate couldn’t close without hitting it.

 

I just got off the phone with adv and they said to send some pics because they think I might just be missing a step but I doubt it. But def won’t hurt to get some help and try and get it on.
