    I’d like to install this no drill ladder rack to haul kayaks from harbor freight, but the comments says that for 2018 Tacoma they had to buy separate clamps. Has anyone here done this and what clamps did you buy?

    Looks like the last photo review they used a truck bed cap clamp to hold it down if I'm seeing it correctly.

    Amazon review…


    5.0 out of 5 stars Just what we needed
    Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2023
    Color: BlackVerified Purchase
    We needed these to secure an aluminum truck bed rack from Harbor Freight to a 2023 Toyota Tacoma. The brackets that came with the rack would not securely fasten without potentially damaging the rail system in the truck bed. The reviews on this product left me uncertain whether they would do the job (of those that mentioned the Tacoma, some said they fit perfectly, some said they don't fit at all!). But I figured we'd give them a shot. And they work like a charm - they fit perfectly into the rail (rather than under, which would damage the rail itself), and secure the rack wonderfully.
