    I am wondering today if all tacos came with cleat rails? My 02 double cab has holes there, but no rails. I have many uses for these if I were to find some. please enlighten me on this for I am learning many things from this forum about these trucks.

    Bonus ?, Were in the world can I pu up a set?

    i don't remember any 1st gen tacomas ever coming with rails, only second gens. go to a junk yard and see if you can get the rails from any 2nd gen trucks there. they're pretty simple designs, you just cut them down to fit them in.

    Skim down the page to the thread "bed tie downs" get some of those L tracks, thats pry what was put on there by the PO. Us cargo control sells them along with lots of other goodies for cargo control. Amazon sells the L tracks as well.

    ^... I was thinking the same thing.
    A lot of options from them. Kind of a cool idea. I wouldn't pull too hard on the bed sides if the tail gate were down though.

    OP, be sure to post pics when you're done.

    Good luck.

    Mine has the same holes as Bullfrog's. To me it looks not like something was installed by an owner but that Toyota put them there. Not sure what I would use them for.

    Toyota never had anything on those bed rails, anything mounted there happened after they left the lot...
