Coming soon
As always, anything that sports the distinctive BAK logo usually denotes something cool, something different, something innovative and something built to impress. Being privy to all that BAK has on the burner at any given time is exciting to say the least. I can tell you that there are a variety of creatively awesome products that we should see come out of the BAK stable between now and 2011.
One such product that I feel is particularly hot is the new Step-n-Stow running board. BAK Industries has taken the mundane, boring running board that we all know and have seen before and spiced it up with "BAK"ism's. What we have done is incorporated full length, lockable storage / tool-boxes into the running board. Imagine that! Instead of just a running board that you step on, you now have a fantastic storage facility on both sides of the truck that are easier to access than regular toolboxes, store a huge amount of valuables and are located in an area that would otherwise just be a waste of space. Best of all, you now get to use any BAK tonneau cover on your truck bed, as your storage boxes are now moved to an area that's more practical, without taking up valuable space in the bed of your truck.

I saw something similar with a rear bumper. Great idea!

Please advise me on how to route or install the drain tubes through the bed on a 2010 toyota tacoma?

There are two kinds of Tacoma beds. One is typically known as the long bed or extended cab and has a 6′ inch bed, the other is the double cab and has a 5′ bed.
With regard to the latter (5′ bed / double cab): There are cubby holes (storage boxes) on the side walls of the truck, close to the front of the cab. These storage areas are a perfect place to run the hoses. They have drain holes on the bottom of this recessed area, so just draping the hoses into these “boxes” will do the trick.
On the longer bed: there are 2 options: There are already small holes on the floor of the truck (in the corners). These can be opened larger with a 3/4 inch drill bit and the tubes run out accordingly. Alternatively, you can get a simple reducer from any plumbing supply house or home depot and reduce the diameter of the drain tube down to where it will just fit through the existing small drain hole. I’ve even seen people use small oil funnels which will do the trick just as well.

I just recently purchased a 2011 F-350 and was hoping that you have one available I know you have one for the F-250 can you clarify that they will also fit the new 2011 F-350 6.5 box. By the way what a tremendous looking and practical design. I am also looking for a dealer in my area of Regina saskatchewan any chance ?

Hi Jonathan,
The BakFlip is available for both the Ford F250 and F350 models in long and short bed styles. They will also fit the 2011 models of ford trucks as well. We have a very large distributor in your province in Saskatoon called Grandwest Enterprises. They can also help refer you to a dealer / installer in your neck of the woods should you need one.
