    Better Bed Brackets

    I just recently partnered up with a fellow automotive enthusiast, he shared the following item with us which I thought were a great addition to my truck so now I'm sharing them with you. Click and use discount code TWBBB30 to get 30% off
    There are many reasons why I was never really a fan of the original bed cleats that come with our tacos, so when I heard my friend was developing these I was happy to be part of that, now I bring them to you.
    these are bolted with t-nuts to the same side rails that every taco comes standard with but they offer a much wider variety of uses, the 4 sides have holes for bolting in anything you can think of, from antennae to go pros to cross bars tents etc... etc.. etc...
    I mainly like that I can use smaller hooks to secure my cargo that I could not use before because of the thick loops of the standard cleats.​

    Tentatively interested. The design looks nice; good choice of holes and I like the channel on the top. Would we have to purchase our own T-nuts and hardware separately?

    Definitely cool, but I've never ran into an issue with the stock cleats.

    A quick question. What keeps the box from rotating with only one allen screw holding it? Could you possibly use 2 t-nuts/allen screws(in each hole outside of where the original is) to keep that from happening?
