    In attempting to install @TOTAL CHAOS bed stiffeners, my dumbass managed to break the left stock top bolt that aligns the bed stiffener. I’ve now got the right side completed, and am working on a solution to get the damn broken screw out!

    Will do. Being in Texas I doubt I'll camp in the summer in the tents. We have an RV for the summer months LOL. But I plan to get a few Bike Racks to take the bikes out. I also added my Rotopax to the sides. I may put a Shade Fabric over the bed rack so my dogs have shade when they are back there. Its so versatile lol.

    There didn’t seem to be enough room to get to the other side. Need to go to the hardware store to look for a broken screw remover. I tried one that I have, but couldn’t get it to bite. Might need a better drill bit too...

    Why did it break? Did you over torque it? Or did the threads bind up when you were tightening it?

    If it broke by over torquing, you've got a very good chance of getting it out by working at it with a small chisel. Work around the perimeter trying to work in out. The threads will most likely be pretty free.

    If the threads bound up while you were tightening it, then that's a bigger problem and you will have to be more drastic. If you have a TIG welder, you can try to tack a nut on it. If not, then drill and use an easy out. Try to get the drilled hole as centered as possible. The also sell left handed drills for removing screws and sometimes they will back out when you drill them.

    Good luck,
    Ted

    Added a soft topper to the long bed. Time to start building a sleeping platform in the back!

    Could you install those "reversed" so the side with the extra tie-downs is closest to the tailgate? @victory4x4 ?

    Curious. Did you use a cordless drill/driver to remove the screws?
