Mopar Bed Rails Bolt Size

[rselznick]

Hey all, I am new to this forum after about 4 years lol, I am looking to get a bolt to hold a Husky Holder in my Mopar Bed Rail system. Has anyone done this before?

Do you mean the threads in the bed that hold the rail, or the threads holding the sliding cleats?

I used these to mount my Jerry-can holders to the rail system.

I did take a grinder to them to allow them to turn more clockwise in the channel, thus increasing the shoulder contact area.

To add, I did not go with bolts because I already have a truck box mounted to the rails.

I would look at these, some grinding could be needed tho.

Do a search on "adding bed-rails" or something like it, I remember seeing a lot of posts covering the subject matter.

Hey there, I meant to say the actual Bed Cap of the truck bed. So the 3 black liners on the bed itself.

I have no idea what you're talking about now.

hardware is typically metric on the new trucks. M8 if it looks like its 5/16" or M6 if it looks like 1/4"
