I need to find some sort of a torque spec for the screws that go into the bed walls, but it's in place anyway. Got cold and dark again so didn't clean up or finish things completely.

I used tape on the bed to find the hole locations, made holes in the tape where the bed holes were, transferred to the tape to the back of these rails.
I then used existing holes in the rail to determine dead-center and set the fence on my drill press table in my wood shop and drilled the holes.
PERFECT FIRST TIME. The holes were spot-on, once I got the rails up in place I could see the bed holes centered perfectly in the holes I made in these rails.

Replaced tail and back up lights w/LED's (no codes, no programming) and applied Lamin-X to my aux driving lights.
What does lamin-x do?

Well not quite what I did today but yesterday ordered a RSI topper generation #2 since they have gen 3 out and starting to ship them. Getting a good deal on it, and should be delivered soon. A double win.
So if anyone is interested in one you might get lucky with a gen 2 in stock with a discount.

That looks great. Torque specs for the factory rail bolts is 10.5 N m / 7.7 ft lbs

Supposedly helps protect against pitting and rock strikes. Two 8" x 8" sheets were $20, so I hope it does something 😁.
