    Nothing yet...that's why I'm here.
    Either I'm one of very few owners who have these factory holes in my 2004 Quad Cab bed or nobody has ever lost a plug for one and needed to order a replacement. Seriously, do these things have a name I'm unaware of? Take a look at the picture to see the holes I'm hoping to find plugs for. I've seen other Tacoma's with the same holes and they have plugs. Any help would be appreciated.

    That or try Grainger... they wont have a factory part number but if you measure the hole you should be ok.

    I would have thought so too. Instead the dealer rep looks at it and says, "I've never seen that", which is part of my frustration. Thanks for the recommendation with McMaster. I'll give it a shot.

    Did this ever get solved? I have these exact holes but have lost one of the plugs. Need a replacement. Internet has nothing!

    Drain plugs I think. Or access to the bed bolts.
