Hi Guys,

I see a lot of good info. on here about Tacoma's that cover a lot of territory. I just picked up my 08 Tacoma Double Cab and so far ( 200 miles ) I really like it. One small problem has came up as to how to mount my low profile tool box. Can't use j hooks and can't seem to find a way to get to the nuts to tighten them once the holes are drilled for the bolts. Has anyone ran into this?

Sorry I can't help you on the tool box because all my mods have been forward of the truck bed...

i mounted my low profile toolbox on my truck. i used 4 good sized self tappers and it hes been on there without any problems for more than a year and a half....although i do have to retighten them every once in a while.

Have you tried spring washers?
