Resurrecting this. Do you know what the thread pitch of for those "standard" threaded holes are? I have some metric taps, but that's it.Anyone have one? I just installed mine this morning. Fit and finish are wonderful. If you're interested in getting one and installing it yourself you need to do a couple things. There are 2 bolts that go into the front of the bed. You're supposed to clean them out. You actually need to run a tap through them as not only is there bedliner material in there, the holes aren't threaded all the way through. Those holes are a standard thread. On the rear of the truck there are 4 threaded inserts that are used. The bolts that go there are hard to reach so you need to run those threads too. In their infinite wisdom they decided to use metric threads there as opposed to standard threads like they did in the front. If you take your time and do it by yourself you should have it installed in about 2 hours. I could have done it faster but was in no hurry. Holler if anyone has any questions.
