Steve, thanks for the tutorial! Very helpful. Just bought my son a ‘22 Tacoma SR5, and as you mentioned in the video, the cleats may not already be installed. His wasn’t (they were packaged/stored in the middle compartment). My son absolutely loves his new pickup!

Love this system in my ''16 Tacoma. The Tacoma ones can be put in and taken out without having to pull off the rail end caps.

Hi : Found out to put them back in the slots !!! Just have to release the spring all the way, and press it in to the slot and let go !!. Simple when you know how, and when the light bulb comes on.

Thanks for the video. It’s a pretty cool little system. I am assuming that the rails and cleats would need to be completely removed if you wanted to add a tonneau bed cover?

Question, how do you install the cleat on the rail against the cab?

Hey Steve, I got these rail system too in my Tacoma. I installed a adjustable 2 piece ladder rack, now I got a solid lumber rack ( contractor cargo lumber rack) Question: any tricks on installing a real lumber rack without removing the rail system. No one has done a video on youtube, & is important to ppl who work with these trucks instead of carrying a canoe on weekends....Thanks bud

I know that the rail system is rated to hold around 100 lbs per location. I would bet you would find something you could use with the deck rail system

I was wondering how do you put the rail cleats back on a tacoma ? I took mine out, and now I can not figure out how they go back in and secure. I know it is simple and I am missing on something.

Not much use unless the cargo is taller than those anchor points. How’s that going to secure a bunch of studs? Need D-rings on the floor!

You ordered the cover for a truck without the deck rail system.

I’m not a fan of the rail system. Makes installing toolboxes and racks more difficult. The moveable cleats are nice but unnecessary. Realistically you need 1 at each corner and one in the middle would be nice. I love the composite bed, especially here in Hawaii, but just don’t like the rails.
