Can anybody identify this clip found in the bed of the truck? I crawled around on my back looking under the rails and on the Truxedo Lo Pro tonneau cover and couldn't see anything broken.

That narrows it down. :wink:

I'm thinking it might not be from the truck but some trash I hauled from the cabin. Don't know so figured maybe somebody knew what that thingamajig belonged too.

Not too concerned since my mileage is good and I have no fuel in the oil. Tires are getting worn though.

Run a simple comparison, in the bed and out of the bed, and see if it affects horsepower....:like:

Does it affect your brake pads?

Might wanna consider putting it back in the bed to help counteract the excessive bed height.

That is one of the mount clips/tabs that is molded into the bottom of the black plastic trim panel that snaps into the top of the bed rail on both sides of bed there are a lot of them no need to worry.

Thanks David, that is what I was thinking it was.

I counted 5 of those on each side and didn't see any missing but lying on my back was no fun so I could have overlooked a missing one.
