    Hey guys. This is my first forum and I was wondering how to install a kobalt tool box into a bed rail system. I bought the no- drill install kit and obviously it didn't work with the Tacoma bed rails! I tried the tie down cleat method, but with using one on each side the tool box will not fit. I was wondering what you guys used, and I'm trying to avoid drilling anything. Thanks in advance!

    Thank you! And this was with no drilling? I'm not very mechanically minded so sorry for the questions! How easy was the install?

    No drilling, these are as easy as it gets. Just put them in the track and run the bolt trough the slot in the tool box and screw it in. Nice and solid.
