    Also, how does it attach to the truck? I'm hoping with some sort of fastener in the tracks for the tie downs. Just because I recently added bed LED lights, and would hate to have to remove them.

    My ARE hangs over the bed rails in four corners and I put T-nuts in the rails that it bolts to. Very clean, and I feel like it is more secure than those clamps most people have. I can still use the Toyota supplied cleats, but they don't sit quite flush on the rails.

    There are a dozen ways to do it. From what I have discovered, all manufactures do it a little differently and they tend to change up their mounting methods over time as well.

    Here is how A.R.E. was doing it from last time I checked...

    It's a T-Slot nut with a two-piece clamp. It's held on tight and has never come loose.

    I posted an ad in the wanted section of Craigslist. A couple of days later someone sent me an email telling me to check craigslist in an area 2 hours away. This is what I came home with $300 later. Just needs me to swap out the front window for a slider and some racks on top.
