You drive a Prius until you post a pic of your truck

Still my daily is Prius, bough it brand new 2016. I have 175K miles on it. More then few times, almost got run over by the Raptors. That was my best reason why i got the raptor, If you can't beat them join them.

May something to do with the tow hooks? Or may it's just cool to have this stuff in the bed...

Anyone else using Safe jack (bottle jack)? i've purchased one with base, small enough to put it where facotory jack is and works great off road & streets. https://safejacks.com/collections/

Changed out my small Builtright panel for a large one. Took their large universal panel, cut it in half and used it for the two sides. Now to take it all off so I can line the bed lol

I'm curious about the standoffs or whatever they're called that you used to mount those panels to the bedsides. What are they, and how strong of a mounting point are they? I'm rather surprised @BuiltRight doesn't offer a full-length panel utilizing something along these lines to overcome the way the bedsides are designed in that a regular panel mounted to the usual tie-down hook locations couldn't run front to back the whole length of the bedside.

I'm also curious how you have the jack secured under the tonneau cover (Retrax?) cannister.

The canister for the Retrax blocks the front tie down points, Builtright does make a panel for that one but nothing to span between the two.. I didn't end up getting the front panel set so I don't know if they would work as a mounting point for a mid-span panel. The standoffs are aluminum spacers that Builtright sells. I had to get longer stainless screws, and I installed rivet nuts into the aluminum bed. So far they are fairly strong, but I wouldn't mount the jack on them or anything really heavy. The jack under the canister doesn't move at all with the rubber bed mat and the tension from the jack handle against the canister. The handle dented the canister a little bit as well and that helps it to stay put. I was thinking about making some type of retention for it but so far it hasn't moved on me.

Looks good. You mind showing a full pic of the bed? I have the same bed cover and have been trying to find a good solution for underneath storage etc.

Ill take better pictures when I unload my truck, waiting for more standoffs to install the last panel on the canister to the left.

This is all great info. Thank you! Love how you've laid out your bed. I keep going back and forth on living with the Retrax and the lost bed space or changing the bed cover to the Revolver x4ts and reclaim some bed space plus the additional locations I could mount molle panels.
