Tacoma bed rail t nuts?

However the mcmaster ones are very expensive unfortunately

 

Oh i got you lol. I didnt think to look at Mcmaster carr for these, as i wasnt crazy with the Amazon offerings either, so I appreciate this thread!

 

I'll update on how these fit once I get them

 

I picked up some aluminum ones off Amazon. Fit perfect work perfect

 

Update, I got the 1 inch ones from mcmaster. The base is perfect but the upper section is 5/8" instead of 9/16" so it doesn't fit. Will just need to touch it up on a belt sander or just mill the edges a bit at work.

 

Sorry- noob question. Are the rails in second gen and third gen the same dimensions? I will buy the ones from Hondo Garage if they will work in the rails on my 2011.

 

They're the same

 

These are awesome T-nuts because they fit perfectly in the bedrail "notches".

Oh, wow. What a post to find 1 minute after pushing the button on the Hondo garage set for way more money. Maybe I’ll buy a set of each and post a comparison for others. Thanks for the link!

 

I went with these.

They are pretty nice. But, yes, 7/8”

 

Can you add a pad or glue something under bottom side of the t- nut.to balance ..it looks like it will not come out?. Those inside bends of the rails,looks solid...
