I have a set of the ride rite bags on my 2000 Tacoma 4X4 Xtra-cab TRD.
For the 1st year no issues , but after 1.5 years the metal failed.
That's right the metal bracket bent causing the bag to leak, it is so weak it could be bent back by hand.
FTR my camper is a Four wheel camper (Eagle @ 800lbs)so we NEVER carry loads that warrant metal failure.
And FTR(for the record)my heavy side is the Drivers side which is ok.
Hard to believe, but Firestone said it is strong enough and they have never heard of an issue like mine.:h
Strange because I found a 4 wheel drive shop that regularly recommends adding more metal to beef up Firestone's factory supplied brackets.
In total fairness I should mention only the passenger side failed,
as it NEVER fit well which is the main strain for the thin metal.
Others beware the brackets are VERY CHEAPLY made for the 2K Tacoma.
They could not ship me a new bracket if I paid for it.
Wish I had chosen a different manufacturer.
Look elsewhere seriously.
I will have photos available eventually if anyone questions my statement. 1st I need a higher quality replacement.
