    2015 Tacoma Short Bed
    Hey Guys,

    I just picked up a 2015 short bed Tacoma and promptly installed a Topper EZLift and shell. Next step is to build a sleeping platform but had a couple of questions first.

    What is the best method for attaching the platform to the bed of the truck? I don't necessarily need anything to hold a load, but just keep everything from sliding around. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for bolting into the side of the bed? Again, no load, just stability.

    I came across this, but can't seem to find any other info on it.

    just a few things.
    That’s a rivet nut insert. You can get a bed mat. That will stop most of the sliding. I believe Home Depot have rails you can buy that you can hook up tie down hoops to
