    What's up everyone,
    I found a good deal on a Red Rock Overland bed rack for my, however its intended use is to slide in to the bed rails that 2nd gen. To combat that I was going to try and install some 4ft USCC L-track, as I've seen others use on TW, to the insides of the bed in a similar position for the rack to slide in and to add some tie down points.

    My concern is the strength of the truck bed walls themselves as a rtt will eventually be joining the build. How can I reinforce everything to make it work with the weight? Or should I be looking in to an entire different process?

    oh yeah it's the 5ft bed btw I meant to throw that in somewhere.

    I've had the truck for a little over a year now and am just now really getting in to it, thanks in advance everyone I'm excited to really try and get this build started.
