So I've got bed braces on my Tacoma. I thought I could possibly do some modifications to make this work and got an open box deal. I ended up buying some steel sleeves (1.5\" long) and installed the brackets using them as standoffs with 2.5\" sheet metal screws. Seems solid, so far so good. Works fine with my soft roll-up tonneau.
Easy to assemble, worth every penny. Both my neighbors saw me installing it came over after I was done (about 30min) and they were impressed with the quality of the product. Would recommend to anyone. Proves that you don't have to spend alot to get a quality product.
