    Oh there will be some mods all right
    The All Pro ones I have installed actually talk about a specific way to tighten up bolts if there is a gap present when theoretically there shouldn't be. Tighten from the bottom to the top. I'm assuming that means that you can pull in a bedside that has started leaning out. Perhaps you want to consider one of the brands that go up all the way to the top like total chaos or All Pro.

    I would attach the a strap that you can get some pressure to get it back to where it’s suppose to be. I would attach the strap to the upper most corners by the tail lights and gently apply pressure. Then with the bed where you want it, locate and drill the stiffeners in place. Something like below

    No problem! It would give a good idea of the amount moved and see if you can get the bed to the spot you want it. Also, would help you keep the bed there while installing the stiffeners.

    Def not for me either. I’ll take the odyssey back. Much more room. And we converted it to add a platform and drawers for when we camp. Nice little setup.

    I mounted my NOCO boost Lithium Jump start battery to my Desert Does It Multi Mount Panel.

    I had tried using Velcro™ but that didn't work
    upload_2023-5-18_18-53-39.jpg


    The magnetic strips worked great, but the Desert Does It Multi Mount Panel is made out of aluminum.
    upload_2023-5-18_18-54-41.jpg


    So then I used bungie but it was a real PITA to undo and re-do
    upload_2023-5-18_18-52-5.jpg

    So I designed this clip using FreeCAD software and printed it using my Prusa MK3S 3D printer.

    upload_2023-5-18_18-56-34.jpg

    I bolted two clips into the multi mount panel with stainless steel hardare.

    I keep it charged using this 12v to 5V converter.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R64L68D?ie=UTF8

    upload_2023-5-18_19-4-43.jpg


    Which is wired into my cab fuse block.

    upload_2023-5-18_19-8-52.jpg

    [Edit]
    So now it sits right within reach from the driver's seat or when I open the driver side door. It snaps right out when I need it. But it lives in that location where I can keep it charged. The built in LED lights and added on magnetic mount make it my go-to portable light, in addition to the jump start capability.

    With the Diamondback, the bed is pretty waterproof and secure so I keep some work items(armor, helmet), backpack/get home bag, and a robust trauma kit.

    I have the NOCO GB 70 jumpstart battery I keep in a case behind in the backseat storage area. I don’t understand why you want to mount this to the truck, it is meant to be highly portable and moved to where you need it, different vehicles, situations etc.? Just curious why the need to mount it?

    Based on how your bed looks I would install the bed stiffener on the passenger side first then pull the driver side in with the strap before drilling the driver side holes.

    20% off on skids I think and 15% off on sliders. Add items to the cart and a tab pops up saying a discount or coupon is available. Click on it, discount is reflected in the cart.

    I'm tempted to make my own thread on this topic you guys let me know what I should do. Inspected my tailgate this morning after the past month hearing a big clunk when I come into my driveway. I would hear the clunk when coming in while driveway is on my left. I thought the bed was loose and was jumping up and down. I may have found the issue causing the sound.

    Can I just insert a quarter inch piece of filler in here to stop this tailgate from wagging back and forth?

    Hope you can see these.
