    I had the Toyota accessories tri-fold tonneau and it was a pain to work from.

    Thanks for the reply, nice looking setup.I'm looking for 6 foot side boxes so I will still have the full length of the bed between them. I need info on how you attached your boxes to the bed, or the rails if you used them. Did you use J hooks or something else? In my old Jeep, the driver side box was full of tools, the passenger side was full of spare parts, and both sides had a considerable amount of weight. I'm concerned that the plastic innerside of the bed won't be able to hold it all without breaking.

    I'm new to this truck, and I don't want to fck it up without at least trying to get it right.

    Again, any and all advice appreciated. Surely more than a few have put side boxes on a Tacoma.

    How did you support the bottom for the side mounted boxes?
