Tacoma Door Latch Annoying Noise Fix: A Simple Fix That Requires Only a 10mm Socket and Ratchet

I am clearly showing my age with this one.....and it might seem to be a frivolous thing, but I genuinely want to know if I'm the only one out there that hates having the cargo in their bed sliding all over place and banging into the sidewalls and tailgate. The old school rubber bed mats, in my opinion, should have come with the floor mats for the Tacoma. An absolute must have have given the "slick" composite material that makes up the bed of the Tacoma. I got this one from TrailFx as its a bit thicker than the OEM Toyota version and less expensive. Does anyone else care about this like I do?

Has anyone experienced those funny annoying noises you hear from your door lock mechanism? Well, here's the fix for it.

The noise comes from the two bolts that are located in your mounting hole area when they're loose.

To have it fixed, get a 10mm socket and ratchet wrench, use it to tighten the two bolts located in your mounting hole area, and that's it. Funny annoying noise gone.

Tip: I did put a tad bit of Loctite on each one to be safe. You can also do the same too.
