Rusted out bracket on bed

The bracket or brace that secures to front corner of the rear wheel well to the frame has rusted out and snapped. Anybody have a part number on that? Thanks. If not, suggestions for a bush fix are totally acceptable.

 

This issue came up recently over in another thread (see links below for reference). Those bed panel braces should be P/N

$37 65671-04050

65671-04050 for passenger side and 65672-04050 for driver side. Plenty of Toyota parts suppliers sell them online at discount for around ~$18 (MSRP ~$25). If you buy a new brace(s) you may want to consider giving it some additional protection against rust (Toyota E-coating isn't worth a shit) with some primer & paint and/or coating it with a rust inhibitor (i.e. Fluid Film, etc.). Also, as noted in those provided linked posts be careful removing the rusty bolts and make sure you soak 'em in advance before attempting removal.

I just used some steel round bar and cut and welded to fit. Likely if the bar is rusted the hardware will be too.

 

I’m up against the same thing with my 2014 DCLB Sport. The Toyota documentation on this part sucks! 65672-04050 clearly says that it fits LHS of a DCLB.

65671-04050 says RHS, but it does not confirm in the description that it fits a DCLB. I’m afraid to order the wrong part and have to return it!

 

I made new ones out of some flat aluminum stock. Hey look further . the front bracket the holds the whole bed on. mine is almost gone . this summers project I guess. I might as well just take the whole bed off and do a lot of derusting and painting on the whole frame

 

Just changed mine for the second time, driver's side of my 2012 DCLB, part # 65672-04050. Unfortunately, everything was completely rusted and I even had to pry and hammer out the pressed-in nuts from the bed. Ended cutting out the top end of my old one to sandwich it with the bed plastic. I used stainless steel nuts and bolts to secure the top part.
