Trail Rail T-Bolts / T-Nuts

[firemedic2714]

They are a little more expensive, but these are also available. They are stainless slot nuts with screws.

These are the one that come with the Toyota Rail Kit. They are supposed to hold up to 220 pounds each.

The cleats that are linked in your comment are the ones that are on the Tundra. They're significantly bigger than the Jeep cleats. I haven't taken one off my dad's truck yet to see how it fits on the Jeep. I'm seeing them tonight and I'll try and get it done. The rails on his truck have to be partially uninstalled to add or remove cleats so it's kind of a PITA. It does make them hard to steal, though.

Here's a link to what I bought. I just got this set of four to see if they'd fit. They're made of steel and starting to rust already. There's a set of ten for $30 that are made of stainless steel I'm going to replace these with eventually.

I've already purchased the set of 4 but haven't installed them yet. I found a better deal - a set of 10:

I found the Stainless Steel version:

These are nickel plated steel - I believe they're the right size. They may work well and the value is great (24 pieces):

Anyone try any of these stainless steel options yet?

I have a set of stainless ones in my Amazon cart. The steel ones I've had since November are starting to rust.

Does anyone know the part number for the d-rings at the front of the bed? I see these part numbers- 68409490AA and 68409491AA but I can’t imagine the d-rings have different part numbers for the left and right. @AllMoparParts.com

Yes. I replaced the original black T-Nuts with SS ones. And these appear to be back in stock:

If anyone is looking for a way to fasten anything to the Jeep Trail Rail system, I found that Toyota's bed rail system for the Tacoma and Tundra have the same inside dimensions. My dad has a 2010 Tundra with a factory bed rail system. Since I was looking for a way to fasten a Yakima Blockhead to the Trail Rail system on my JTR and I haven't been able to find anything from Mopar, I thought I'd take some measurements and see if his rails were similar to mine. Lo and behold, they have the exact same dimensions! To confirm my hopes, I ordered some T-bolts off Amazon for $13. I bought cheap ones just to see if they'd fit. They ended up fitting perfectly! Here's a link to them.....

Here are photos of what I used them for.

I also found some cleats for Toyota bed rail systems that look almost identical to the Gladiator Trail Rail cleats.....

These are almost identical to Jeeps version exc. for the base. Toyota rails don't have detents so these will probably just slide freely back and forth, but they should still hold. I also read in the description that their weight limit is a little less than the Jeep cleats so keep that in mind.

Thanks for this post! Was just looking for these for the very same purpose!! May also re-mount my high lift jack this way with 4 of them!

Anyone try to mount a bike this way with the mopar rollup tonneau cover? I just switched to it from a maxmate cover and I don't think there would be any issue with the maxmate as it sits closer to the front of the bed but the mopar is heavier and sits a little more on the front of the truck bed even when rolled up.

I am going to attempt this tomorrow. I'll let you know!

Perfect, thanks!

Has anyone tried the Rockymount Loball? It's basically just a locking front fork mount that slides into the rail. I'm interested if a bike fits mounted sideways in the JT since I have the rolling tonneau blocking the cab side.
