A short bed has its advantages, but there’s a lot of small issues to overcome. Luckily, since the bed sides are so tall, there’s ample room to store things there. Now, I’m not a prepper, but it’s good to have some things readily available. Spare fuel, water, trauma kit, and a few other things. Mostly, things that can fit in the cavities around the wheel humps
You just need a way to do so. Enter Builtright Industry’s bedside racks.

These racks bolt into the existing holes already in the bed, so no modifications needed. However, if you have rubber caps plugging up some of the holes, and those caps weren’t removed during the install of a spray-in liner, you will need a knife to cut some of that liner away. If it’s like mine, it won’t be a clean cut, and the paint will show through. Oh well.
Luckily, it’s not really noticeable once the panels are installed.
Of course, this means my custom bed divider won’t work anymore, since these panels use the same mounting holes, but that’s nothing a redesign won’t fix. Now to get the mounts and start loading them up with stuff! Best part is, that with the tonneau cover, I could have a full overland setup, and no one would ever know.
