At a quick glance I though those were the torx bits sticking out of the squash. I was like "what kind of crazy looking handle did he get"?? Then I put my readers on and saw the bits below.?

It's harvest time and have to harden off the squash for the root cellar. They are heirlooms in inch size ?.

I got some magnets to try to hold my BedRug up. It keeps unsticking at the front, despite having wiped it well with rubbing alcohol. I think I must be trying to connect it too high. The magnets were not strong enough on their own (30 pound pull). I have a couple of 110 pound pull coming to try (N52s).

If that doesn't work, I have gobs of double-sided 3M tape and will wipe down the bed and the existing sticky side of the velcro 3M and place it there and a bit lower (I have it trying to stick to the angled part at the front of the bed).

These could be handy for something else. If all else fails, I can use them in my tool cabinet.

It's never held very well. When it first came loose, I used rubbing alcohol again but I think I'm sticking it up too high. You can't see it too well normally cause the rolling tonneau covers it up, but still ...

All six finally held a little, but that won't be enough. So I'll be lazy and try stronger ones, but the real solution is to use fresh 3M. Since it's the velcro backed one, I'll clean up the sticky side (the part that's supposed to be on the bed) and stick another layer of 3M on it (one inch wide's what I have) and see if that hold.

The BedRug itself can't go anywhere, the six tie downs are also holding it in place.

My droopy BedRug saga continues ... last time I used 33 pound pull magnets and now I'm using 110 pound ones (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GCP8MXW).

They're pretty strong. In one of the pics below, you can see the pair of magnets on top of the TrekStep holding the pair under in place. The TrekStep is 100% aluminum, so that's just the force holding them.

Theoretically, I could suspend myself by two of these magnets (and don't let then pinch your fingers, that would be intense).

Anyway, a lazy solution that I'll eventually use some of my gobs of 3M double-sided tape to fix.

Plus, I installed the additional clamps that @RedDakooter05 told me about. My tonneau rails aren't going anywhere easily (plus if they did fall off, they'd get sucked to those magnets!). =D

Where did you get the additional clamps? I don't trust the clams with my Leer tonneau.

Well, I wanted to make sure that Jeff Bezos is able to afford diesel for his 426 foot mega yacht, So I got them at Amazon:

There are many other clamp styles, if you need different ones. These happen to be nearly identical to what my tonneau uses.

Let us know how they work out, and I did have to shim all mine for the gap between the plastic rail cap and the bed wall. I used leftover shim stuff from my tonneau replacement, but that was a huge PIA since one side is adhesive.

A simple item. A center console cover. Being it costs me a whopping $4.50, a lot cheaper than the OEM lid/cover if my girl were to scratch up. As times she'll stand there.

Well I finally broke down and chose a shock brand. Everyone’s input was very helpful. Thank you all.
Now I’m looking forward to the ride improvement.
