Affordable Tacoma Mod: Enhancing Bed Cleats with SS Wing Nuts and Fender Washers

[TrdMarkey]

I want to THANK the genius that suggested to put wing nuts and washers on the factory rail BED CLEATS. I bought SS wing nuts M 8-1.25 and SS 5/16x 1-1/4 fender washers.

I put 3 cleats on each side. All the years I had my 3rd Gen, I couldn't believe this simple hack eluded me. I was waiting to buy 3 pairs of aluminum cleats for $110 having 8 original Tacoma cleats laying around brand new.

Sorry I don’t remember the name of the originator of this idea. Whenever I do, I’ll add their name to the post to give credit. Thanks
