The bed bolts are notorious for rusting... Anyone have any fixes?

    Those look great, what are you complaining about lol.

    Anti-seize really wont do much to prevent it. It might delay it a little bit, but that's about it.

    Quite honestly, for 99% of the Tacomas out there, the bed bolts will never need to come out. That makes it much less of an issue. For the other 1%, Never Seize.

    I took mine out and coated them well with Lucas Red N Tacky grease. Sprayed some WD-40 down the holes and reinstalled them. They should be good for another ten years.
