Brackets are not as heavy duty as OEM; however, they should be sufficient for >90% of uses. Payoff is worth it to me.
Pro: Inexpensive, Simple Design, Simple Installation, Better (in my estimation) than OEM
Con: Requires Drilling, Instructions could be better, Bed liners complicate installation, Little margin of error - brackets must be installed correctly to work right. Incorrect installation will result in unsightly additional holes and/or sloppy fit and/or damaged taillights & wiring.
What makes this item desirable?
The OEM mounts for the bed extender on the make/model of my truck (00-04 Frontier) require that the extender cage be raised perpendicular to the bed before it can be removed. Many caps/toppers/lids, once installed, do not allow this range of motion. This results in many owners simply removing the extender altogether. Design of the AMP brackets allows the user to reposition or remove the extender cage without requiring the flip motion - much easier.
I purchased my truck w/o bed extender. Used extenders rarely includes required mounting hardware. In light of design & simplicity of these brackets, I'd say that's a plus.
Items arrived within time advertised by vendor. Instructions consist one page with writing and diagrams and another that includes template for drilling holes entitled "large/deep" and "small/shallow." Instructions make no distinction between the two with regard to vehicle make/model - it's left for the customer to figure out which to use. Instructions recommend not cutting the bed liner; rather, taping the appropriate template into place and using a punch to mark where holes need to be drilled. Problem I encountered is that my bed liner is plastic and flexible and has warped a bit, plus it tends to float around in the box. This means the customer needs to ensure the liner is in the location where it can be permanently affixed before drilling the holes. The liner won't be able to "float" once the brackets are installed, so the liner location needs to be acceptable. Holes are drilled into the inner wall of the bed, behind which are housed the taillights and wiring. Although it's not included in the instructions, the installer - especially an amateur - might be better served to remove the taillights prior to drilling. I opted for the extra bracket kit (see http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041FVE78/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00) to keep from disturbing the wiring; however, this brought its own set of issues (see my review of that item if interested).
Once installed the brackets work great. They take up much less space than OEM mounts and have a much cleaner appearance. Brackets are much less apt to damage or hang up on cargo. These issues combined with a competitive price make these a true win/win. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Works as designed and offers perfect convenience to lift the extender out without having to rotate it to mid position.
No different mounting layout than the original latches of the BedXtender.
However, the levers of both of these latches are slightly angled toward the bed sidewall resulting in the levers contacting the sidewall instead of having some sort of expected gap. If they contact, then they would mar the paint at that point of contact as you operate them. To resolve this, I used washers as spacers between the latch and sidewall which provided just enough space so the lever doesn't scrape against the paint of the sidewall when pivoting.

Easy to install.
Only issue I had was there is no template in the box. You can find the template on the vendor website, but is super buried. Also when you print it make sure your printer prints actual size, not 'fit to page'. If it fits to page it will shrink and leave you wondering if you downloaded the wrong template.
