    I’m wanting to install some Bed Rail Bars like the images below, obviously on a Tacoma of course, for a couple reasons. Wondering if anyone has done it? Where did you buy them? If you have pictures of it done? I think they look awesome and will be so much easier to tie down bigger boxes that I carry around a lot.

    They're useless for strapping stuff down and they look like ADA toilet grab bars

    What's wrong with the stock tie down cleats? I find them very useful for strapping cargo down.

    That’s hilarious! I didn’t even realize that! I can totally see it.

    The stock ones are fine. Every once in a while they stick out a little far and so the convenience of the bars looked promising.

    Yeah, I could see that. You may be able to install something like this instead. Might have to reinforace the bed rails, though.

    What I wish came with the truck was something like the Rangers overseas. Tie down points on the outside of the bed.
