Bed Storage Concept

I'm thinking of using the track rails on the sides of the bed.. That way it's easily slid in and out of the bed..

 

How would you secure the rail attachment?

Any time I've locked stuff in the bed, I just wrap a chain around the leg of my toolbox, which is securely bolted down with the bed bolts. It is snugged against the rails, but there is no way to loosen those bolts with the box closed.

 

Stick of 20 foot 1.5" tube on the roof of the truck waiting to be bent..

 

There are holes in the rails for a small padlock that would prevent the t-nuts from sliding out, and the t-nuts will have welded studs on them.. Meaning that there is no possible way to remove the assembly other than removing the padlock, sliding the entire assembly out of the bed and then contend with locking steel woven ratchet straps.

 

Huh, never noticed those before, that's good to know!

In my case, I have my toolbox mounted along the passenger side, would there be a "one sided" option?

 

Haven't forgotten about this; few other projects have priority at the moment!

 

What's that spare tire holder you've got there?

 

Not sure I understand.

 

I think he's referring to the Raptor pic in the OP

 

Here is another option ??

 

Where did you get that pic from? I have been trying to figure out where to get something like those orange things from that picture

 

I can't see the first pic?

 

Pretty sure its a custom rack from SOS

 

I was referring to the basket, not the whole upper rack. I want to find a good place to get those bushings(?)

 

All Pro rack and he had a local place make the basket

 

Damn, ok. I am building a custom tire gate and was hoping to get some polyurethane bushings similar to those so it won't be metal on metal and I have no idea where to start looking.

 

I'd imagine Poly Performance or somewhere similar would have what you want.. They're just simple bushings.

 

Thanks Jake, I will look into that!

 

I bought poly bushing with outer tubing & insert from AUTOFAB in Santee Ca.

 

Yes upper is from All-Pro lower basket / Rack was Made for me by
SCAR OFFROAD in El Cajon Ca. per my sketch drawing
