...is the OEM bed extender? 55 is too big, 40 is too small. 45? 50?

Also I assume removing the center bolt on either side frees the extender for removal? There's nothing else to worry about?

Thanks!

Since we're taking torx sizes, how can the torx size be determined apart from a guess plus trial and error. (I don't have any torx drivers apart from a few I have purchased to remove or replace a needed auto part)

Why do always have to ask the dumb question?

Thanks.

The only dumb question is the one you don't ask and get someone hurt or killed..

Just to confirm, the removal of the bed extender is simple, right? Just the two Torx bolts? Nothing crazy like having to remove some sort of backing, etc. Remove the two bolts and it comes right out, put it back in by putting the two bolts back (T50 Torx).

I'm going to be pulling mine out to try out this bed tent I bought.
