How Does Adarac Aluminum Series Ladder Rack Fit 2023 Toyota Tundra 5-1/2 Bed Without Stake Pockets  

Question:

I have a 2023 Tundra 5 1/2foot bed. I dont think Toyota has stake pockets on this truck. How would I anchor your rail system with no stake pockets?

Since your 2023 Toyota Tundra with a 5-1/2 foot bed does not have stake pockets, you'd need to drill holes in the bed rails to install the Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A32BG.

So you'd drill a 5/16" hole through the bed rails and then a self-threading bolt is used to anchor the rails to your Tundra.

How do you put a self threading bolt into sheet metal? This does not sound like good advice. I would think that something stronger is needed. Is this advice from the manufacturer? .

@EricB This is directly from Adarac, yes. D. Drill 5/16" hole through bed cap and first layer of metal. E. Place rail on box. Align rear hole in rail with drilled hole in bed cap. F. Insert 3/8" x 1" self-threading bolt, then tighten with 9/16" wrench.
