Ordered the Tacoma cleats, 3/8 x 16 x 1” stainless button head bolts, and bike fork mounts from amazon.
The face of the cleats needs to be ground down about a 1/8” to allow the fork mount and cleat to clamp the rail properly. Bolts fit perfectly without a washer. You will need a bench grinder to take that much material off easily.
I am considering flipping the fork mount to reduce stress on the mount & rail. I have it positioned this way so the bike sits lower, if I flip, it will sit couple inches higher.
The mounts were relatively cheap and are pretty heavy and beefy.
the mounts seem solid with the bike on, have not driven yet.
