Added a little extra storage space for straps small tools etc.. Now just have to wait to see how it holds up and if it gets in the way when i put things in the bed, but it is slimmer than the wheel and tailgate hump. Also no drilling required in the bed, so I can remove if needed without leaving behind holes

I really like that! Did you buy that or make it? If you bought it, can you post a link? Curious what it connects to if you didn't have to drill....

Thanks

Hi Rob,

It appears to be a metal formed box. There is a reinforcing piece of flat stock and what looks like a stove head phillips screw holding it to the side wall. Not sure there is a threaded hole in that area.... Good candidate for a rivnut...

Phil, If this is the one you are referring to, push in where the green arrow is to release a small latch tab that is under where the yellow arrow is.
If that's not the one I apologize.

Surprised you didn't burn it to the ground...best way to deal with a spider.

Added the swing case that I got with Ford Pass Points. Almost conflicts withe the hold down on the Xtang trifold bed cover. I have to swing the case out to latch or unlatch the cover, but it works.
