Bedside Bottle Opener hardware

Then GTFO. That is here the winch goes.

 

Winch? Its a Tocoma it doesn't get stuck.

Removable hitch winch.

 

Just installed the Yeti! Liked that it had the most mounting points....

 

A keyed lock for your storage? Cool

 

Oh cry-man-itly you can't open a beer bottle without an opener? Didn't you go to college? It's where there's a need there's a way. Seems like the door edge would work just fine LOL. Just jokin man... good job

 

Yes, but after a few beers it's much easier using a stable, one-handed tool that stays put.

 

Yep! Theres a writeup on the forums somewhere. Easy to do...you just need some cabinet locks and a drill.

 

Lower on the priority list, but in the list none the less!

For those that have drilled through the metal post to mount your opener, did you use anything to prevent rust at the drill site? Or did you just use stainless screws/bolts and call it good. I really dig this mod and that location but the thought of rust is holding me back. Thanks.

 

It's only been a year, but no signs of rust yet.
I touched up the metal after drilling, and I replaced the screws the opener came with for stainless bolts/washers/nuts. Just for good measure sprayed more paint over the bolts on the tail light side.

 

Spray painted the holes and used stainless hardware, no rust here! And everything corrodes in Nebraska

 

did you just drill into the bed or is it bolted on?

 

Take the tail light off, drill through, attach with some nuts and bolts.

 

I usually use the seatbelt.

 

Check out McMaster Carr website. They sell those cabinet locks for cheap.

 

If you have the tailgate extender, the straps have buckles on the ends that work too.

I still want an opener though.

 

Tell the guy from Washington that Hillbillies just use their tooth....a trick they learned from Rednecks

 

For the guys who mounted one on their composite bed like this ^: Did you use self tapping screws? I bought some screws and bolts, anticipating that I'd take the tail light off and have access, but there is no access. Thanks in advance.
