Best place to pick up some more T30 torx bolts?

I have a bedliner on mine and despite trying to carefully thread and re-thread it killed three of the bolts. Need to pick up some more.

It was a pain. Some cleaned no problem...others...not so much lol.

I use stainless steel bolts that I buy at Lowe’s- they have much better SS hardware selection than HD.

I'd get the OEM steel ones or at least ones with similar black oxide coating. If you get stainless, you might see dissimilar metal corrosion since I'm sure the nuts are plain steel.

yes, but he's asking for the bolts to attach the rails to the bed. If you get the SS t-slot nuts, I'd match those with SS bolts for mounting your gear to the rails.

By the way...what does "FWD" stand for on these instructions?

I assumed "Forward" as in the front of the car...but I guess I am wrong on that.

I already put it in....just curious.

Huh, I never even noticed that "FWD" note (which I also assume would be forward) in the drawings since I watched a YouTube vid for installation, but it seems their arrows are pointing to the rear of the vehicle. I'd say the arrows are pointing the wrong way.

I figured something was off but then when I watched a rack install (1:07 on this video... ) I wondered if I missed something. I think in the video, he just through the rack up as a demo (but did not actually throw it in correctly?) lol.

I am pretty certain that BOTH rails go to the back of the bed - at least that is where I put BOTH my hex inserts.
