I first tried using these as is. The little flat piece did not grip the strut and i yanked the mount off by hand. So i took the bolt to menards and found out it was a 8M 1.25 size. I found 8M strut nuts on ebay and bought a pack.

Back the turning knob thing all the way off, thread on the 8mm nut and then feed the strut nut on, re-assemble. Even though its designed for a thinner rail, with the strut nut I reefed on it pretty good and it didn't come out.

Not bad, you can obtain these for about $40-50 for 4 sweet mounts.

Pulled the soft top out of the bed, installed the screen protector for the radio, and programmed the garage door opener. It was a rough day :LOL:

Load separator from Tractor Supply. I've never had a spray in liner before, and was shocked on how things slide on it. I will be getting a mat for it eventually.
