Wondering if the stock utility rails are only option, as read on here about install difficulties or if there are other after market brands folks have found and liked?

I have been following the forum for close to 2 years and know of no after market rails. Someone has used the rails/tracks used to mount electrical breaker boxes and such.
I did not find the install difficult. Some have problems if line x or such was applied reducing the size of the hole and requiring removal of the protectant. The rivnuts being hex shaped prevents spinning while installing which was a problem on the previous generation of rails.

Be safe and just order a rivnuts unit from Amazon for under $30 just to be safe and to save time. Spoken from experience and a bloody knuckle or two
