Laramie bed rail pockets

[dogbreath650]

Likely discussed before but my search abilities must need improvement as I couldn't find any. My 23 Laramie has the plastic bed rail cover and only has holes in the extreme rear and front of the rails. I'd like to mount several pocket tiedown cleats but don't want to make a mess of cutting through the cover to access the other pockets. Any tips for doing a nice job?

I don’t know what kind of tools you have but something like a router or rotozip with a template made from the rear hole can potentially do a nice job.

I used a razor blade. Make a few passes till your all the way through. It's soft plastic....

As far as I’m aware there are only stale pockets at the corners. I don’t think there are any in the center.

Must be something else “missing” from the ‘23’s. My ‘22 Laramie has the center stake pockets.

They are there, Look at the plastic rail cover it has the outline where it is.

Yeah, I didn’t realize a SB doesn’t have pockets over the wheel well.

I didn’t realize we were talking about a long bed a signatures don’t show up on the phone so I usually don’t see them.

I didn’t know LBs had an extra stake pocket either though.

Not sure what phone you have, but usually if you rotate the phone to landscape mode it will show signatures.

Absolute mind blown right now…. My life is forever different.

Thanks, guess I should've looked at the new truck before posting. Coming from a long bed I just assumed the standard bed would also have center pockets, bummer, I wanted to tie down some light bulky lawn chairs on top of my Bakflip MX4 when pulling the travel trailer, guess I'll need a Plan B...

Yeah, that works on my iPhone, I’m just lazy and I like reading with it verticality oriented. This is the only forum I use that hides signatures like this.

They will also display if you switch to desktop site.

Sigs won't show at all for those that may be using Tapatalk.
