    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    It may have been asked, but any pictures of the actual mount and how you did it?

    unfortunately i never took pictures of mounting them, but there are 2 bolt in the side of the box with a washer and a strut channel nut with the spring cut down in bed track system.

    I am soooo doing this. I have 4 cans empty in the garage!!! I wouldn't necro-post, normally, but being as I am a totally excited, new Tacoma owner...I just had too. ;)

    If anyone has pics of the rail mounting, that would be a help.

    Thanks

    Take a bolt and 2 nuts drill a hole in the middle of the side that will be against the side of the bed so support the bottom of the box this way it wont twist and rattle by hitting the bed.

    I have actually taken them out when I got a bed cover. But I had a small block of wood but a bolt or 2 to keep it from rattling plus then u can adjust it as needed
