Finally got around to ordering them. They arrived today. I’m impressed. They have that “built like a brick shit house” vibe. They match the dash of the duck transporter, which is cool, lol.

Beware the Tacoma ones... they at least used to be ever so slightly too deep so they weren't fully tight against the rail so browse the reviews before buying to see if someone has verified they work on the JT.
I have some of those they are sitting in a box in my garage. Found that they don't hold. When I put my cam straps for my kayak and gear they will pop out once I put some pressure and pull on them. Maybe I should try the terraflex ones because so far I have not found much that stays in those rails. Builtright was supposed to design some for there rail system but never did.

See they held in the track fine for me, they were just not even 1/16" too tall and whatever you were attaching wouldn't hold firmly to the rail. I was in an apartment at the time with no real shop setup but I'm pretty sure 30 seconds with a sander and they would have been fine.

I ended up just ordering a bunch of the rail nuts Wilco uses for their Taco and Gladiator wheel mount and they have been great. They slide in the front and hold tight so I can place them anywhere without worry. They were, however, not cheap.

Might have to take a look at those Wilco

Had to call and order... I think it was like $10 a pop and you could honestly make them yourself if you have access to a bandsaw... they were waterjet cut but you could honestly make something similar from some .250 1" stock for much less.

I ordered the ones listed above and got them in today. I put them in the front Trail Rail as there was none there. The two in each side of the Trail Rails are "trapped" by my camper shell clamps which also use the Trail Rails and I'm too lazy to remove the blocking clamp to get at them. :D

I did get upset at first because the way they come shipped the t-slot backplate is snug up against the back of the cleat. After taxing my monkey brain and poking at them for a few minutes I did get them to fit.

Step 1: Loosen knob all the way.
Step 2: Push against knob towards the backplate to force the bolt to move. This will increase the gap of the t-slot backplate and the cleat back allowing it to fit into the Trail Rail system. Otherwise the gap is too narrow.

I actually like them better than the Mopar ones as the knob is much bigger making it easier to tighten them down.

Good to go and thanks to all on this thread.

Finally installed mine (I was waiting on the Alu-Cab to go on). I’ve got four on each side. I will probably get another pair for the front (or just use the OEM ones up there if I don’t end up using that spot like the others).

I’ll attach the ratchet straps this weekend, get them situated where they’ll stay (will strap SCUBA cylinders to them), and sort out what I want to put on the metal bits to prevent rattling. I.e. Adhesive backed weather stripping.

Work fine unless you want to get the aluminum ones and widen the hole in your pocket!

Nice attention to detail on the bed divider.
